章 11: We Meet Again
The next morning, he woke ahead of his set alarm. It was only 5:47 he is already wide awake. He started his day by cooking his meal early.
He rummaged through his fridge for something that will make the best breakfast for his exam. After a few minutes, he decided on vegetables and eggs. As for how he would cook it, as long as it was edible, he would gladly eat it. It does not matter if his cooking does not look elegant like those cooked by professional chefs.
After cooking his breakfast, he put it on a device used for heating food without actually cooking it.
He went back to his room and checked his computer to see if there were any important notifications. He first went to his email and found out that a story-reading platform that he subsctibed to has released a new story this week.
There was also a mail from the CIT. It was letter sent to every graduating student of CIT - SHS. It was a congratulatory letter coming directly from the head-administrator. The best thing is that it had the students in it, not like other congratulatory letter that is addressed to all. Its first line was a highlighted "Congratulations for finishing your Senior High, Mr. Peter Johannson....", it goes on for about a few hundred words.
He closed the tab and went to see if there are other significant mails. He saw a mail that immediately made his fingers clicked it subconsciously. It was Sapphirax Exo Tracker (SET) - this spacecraft was designed to track planets in the outerskirts of the star system.
The mail was an update of pictures taken by the spacecraft a week ago. It include picture of the planets of the star system that he is in, nebula across the cosmos and asteroid that it came closed to it along the journey. There were also pictures of other star systems and even some galaxy. Some of them look so bright that they looked like decor lights. The most beautiful of these galaxies are the spiral ones. At first sight, it would seem like a piece made by a computer nerd.
A moment later, a message popped out. It came from CIT - SHS Head Teacher's office. It was a mail wishing every student taking the mass entrance examination and assessment this morning, the best of luck.
After scrolling for a few minutes he lost interest on other messages and updates. He turned his computer off and look at the clock just above the door. It was already 6:23 in the morning and the thin rays of the sun have penetrated through the window.
He then went to take a bath. He wanted this day to flow smoothly as he does not want any disturbance. So made sure that he does everything exactly the they are done, he didn't even seem to be worried or panicky at all.
He wore his uniform and went to the cabinet to fetch a watch given by his mother as a gift on his 12th birthday. This was like a lucky charm for him and he felt more comfortable as if his mother was by his side guiding in whatever he does.
Eating his breakfast that he cooked earlier. "Maybe I should just cook for my loved ones instead of going to space -haha" he laughed as he talked on his own. The food cooked looked like it was a town devastated by a super typhoon but it was tasty.
He finished his meal at about close to 7:00. He carefully choose his shoes to wear. When he was about to open the door, he did not expect to see a piece of sticky note. It had two pages. Written on the first page were the names of the people who came last night and on the second page, "Good luck on your Entrance Examination, Peter 😊" was written.
He smiled and remembered last night. He went directly to the bus stop. The bus would come at exactly 7:35. The assessment starts at about 8:30. Instead of a typical entrance exam it was more likely an interview that included written works.
He reached the stop at 7:29. He looked for Julie but failed to find her. "Oh" he remembered that yesterday was the last meeting for this year. And since Julie is not a candidate graduate, she was not required to go to school after yesterday.
Just as he was thinking if he should check Julie on the internet, the sound of the bus reached his ears. He stand up, pick up his bag and boarded the bus.
Arriving at the school, he quickly look for his seatmate, Martin. He later found him talking with a girl from their class. They were chatting with smiles.
"Hey, Martin, care for a cup of coffee?" he suddenly cut through. "Hello Noelle, wanna join us." Noelle was the girl talking to Martin.
"Eh, Peter you are finally here. I was just telling Noelle that we should wait for you and go to the venue together." he winked at Noelle. "But since you ask for coffee then we should probably get coffee." he added.
Peter gave Noelle an understanding glance "Okay then, let's go to the canteen" he lead the couple to the canteen.
CIT canteen is a large four-level building. Each level corresponds to educational levels. The first level of the canteen is for the CIT - ES. The second level is for CIT - HS. The third is for CIT - SHS. And the fourth is for college students of CIT, respectively.
The three of them headed directly to the third level through the elevator. Upon reaching the third floor, they went to make orders.
"I would like to order a cup of hot coffee and these cookies." the voice came from beside them.
The canteen was currentlg filled with students from CIT and many other schools. It was busy inside but when he heard that close to angelic-voice, he knew who it was.
He turned around and confirmed that it was really that person. "Miss Mika, we meet again." he decided to take the initiative and start a talk.
Mika was automatically electrocuted by that voice. She was like allergic to that voice. When he first heard it, it came after a loud bang when two head literally collided.
She sneered and didn't even spare a glance as she waited for her order. If not for the ASEAN Assessment that would be held here, she would have not come here because the time she came here, there is a great chance that she would meet this rascal.
