Unexpected Classmates in Twenty Third Section

CHAPTER 4

Galawang Heira 101.

“He's so loud, he's voice is louder than my speakers.” Reklamo niya.

“Hindi ba namamaos yan?”

“Baka laging may tsaa sa bahay, yung sabalat ba 'yon?”

Nagpipigil naman ako ng tawa dahil sa sinabi niya.

Sabalat? ano 'yon, on the skin ganon? hahaha

“And why are you smiling like that huh?”

“Nags-smile na lang ako kaysa naman sa humagalpak ako ng tawa dito.”

“Psh.”

“Salabat kasi 'yon, hindi sabalat.”

“Someone told me that it was sabalat.”

“Salabat yon.”

“Psh okay.”

Nakinig na lang kami ulit kay sir, baka mahuli kaming nag chichismisan mahirap na!

“Protons,  protons are the basis of atoms, while an atom can gain or lose neutrons and electrons, its identity is tied to the number of protons, the symbol for proton number is the...” huminto siya at nagsulat ng malaking letter Z sa white board “...capital letter Z.” Aniya saka humarap sa amin. “Miss Sylvia!” Biglang sigaw niya kaya naman halos mapatalon ako.

“Sir?” Takang tanong ko.

“The number of neutrons in an atom is indicated by what letter?”

“Letter N sir.” sagot ko

“Good!”

“Neutrons, the number of neutrons in an atom is indicated...” Nagsulat nanaman si ng letter N sa board “...by the letter N, the atomic mass of an atom is the sum of its protons and neutrons or...” Tinuro niya ang mga sinulat niya sa board, “...Z + N, the strong nuclear force binds protons and neutrons together to form the nucleus of an atom.” tuloy tuloy na sabi niya. “Electrons, electrons are much smaller than protons or neutrons and orbit around them...” Naglakad lakad siya, “...protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus, the nucleus is at the center of the atom.”

“Sumasakit na ang ulo ko sa mga sinasabi ni sir” Dinig kong bulong ng nasa likod ko.

“'Wag kang maingay baka marinig ka nyan.” Bulong din ng kasama niya.

Hindi ko na sila pinakinggan sa iba pang sasabihin nila, habang nakikinig sa ibang sinasabi ni sir ay binabasa ko rin sa libro.

“You!”

Linshak ayan na nanaman si you!

Kinakabahan namang tumayo yung tinawag niya.

“W-why s-sir?” Inosenteng tanong niya.

“Atoms are can be divided using chemicals, am I right?”

“N-no sir, a-atoms cannot b-be divided using c-chemicals.”

“Very good!”

“You!” Turo niya nananaman kay Eiya. “How do atoms break apart?”

“Nuclear reactions, such as radioactive decay and fission, can break apart atoms.” Taas noong sagot niya.

“Outstanding!” Nginitian naman siya ni Eiya. “Sitdown!” Sigaw niya. “Atoms cannot be divided using chemicals, they do consist of parts, which include protons, neutrons, and electrons, but an atom is a basic chemical building block of matter, nuclear reactions, such as radioactive decay and fission, can break apart atoms.” Paliwanag niya habang ginagalaw galaw ang kamay na para bang nagpapaliwanag.
