We entered the cla.s.s. But I couldn"t look at him anymore. I have again pretended to harden up myself otherwise it would be affecting us both. I tried to focus on the cla.s.ses.First cla.s.s was Mathematics.Our previous maths teacher won"t be taking our cla.s.s for the new module.So a mam was appointed to take our cla.s.s for that particular module. Mam was taking our cla.s.s when suddenly she pointed, "You with blue spects there ,stand up! "
I clearly understood that it was my doom that she was calling me.
I stood up immediately. Although my legs were barely stiff but I had to maintain a composure in front of the cla.s.s.
"Yes, Now tell me your name. "
"Mam, I am Sonnet Evergarden. "
"Well Sonnet, nice name. Can you explain what is integration? "
"Yes mam. "
"Continue."
"Integration is used in Calculus which is the concept of bringing together the small parts of a function to retrieve the entire function. If we fix the boundary then integration becomes the area under the curve or the function which actually is bounded by limits. "
"Good.But I need a simpler version. In this definition we need to explain function as well. Sit down. "
I didn"t feel very well. My hands were already sweating perhaps of my phobia of speaking in front of the entire cla.s.s.
"Well can anyone answer? "
Others were dumbfounded. Only Sky was looking at mam. Others were trying hard to hide their faces.
"You in front stand up and try to give a simpler definition. "
"Integration is the technique of finding the main curve whose small portion is given. And by clubbing those small continuous parts of equal properties together we get the entire curve or function. If we consider a brick and break it into very very small pieces of continuous or similar dimensions , then the piece we get is the differentiation of the entire brick. And on integrating that single piece we get the entire brick. "
"Marvellous Explanation! Sit down. "
I was awestruck at his explanation. I was again falling for him. The heat of the cla.s.s, the chirping of birds and the swaying of trees , all seemed to stop altogether for the moment. Instead I felt a cool breeze that kept me amused.
Lacy turned her face and remarked him as well.
Mam continued with the cla.s.s. Finally it was time for the practical cla.s.s.
I was wearing the lab coat when I felt a sudden awkward gaze peering at me. I took my copy and left with Ellie and Lacy, still feeling someone was trying to peek at me sideways. I hurried and reached the lab. But the actual plot was about to start...
