Title: Beat The Minew!

_________________________

Today I opened my eyes slowly. I'm misfortune. Who wants to think about traffic jams and other things when someone is having a bad time? Now is the future. Transportation has advanced. I immediately went to the shower fast, which is a room for bathing equipped with sophisticated tools such as water, water, a shower-like device in the present with micro-sized water but the speed is equivalent to the speed of air.

In a moment, my body was clean, and in a second, I was neat. I went to a small room and I pressed a button in this room, and in an instant I was at the station. This is called flashfast, a service provided by the government to facilitate people's lives.flashfast just heading in a direction, namely the city station. And, this is where the bustle of the citizens of Esperanza began. It all started from this station, a station built since 3211. All these services are free. This train moves with magnetic, solar, and nuclear power. There are no more cars and motorcycles on the road. There is only a super fast train. All my preparations from getting up early to the station took 2 minutes. The distance from school to home is 1 km. And 2 minutes is the time needed for every 1 km distance.

And finally I got to my school. Science And Mathematics Future School. Luckily, I'm not too late. Because, a duel facing a robot is a punishment for students who are late. Silly indeed. However, the robot in question is a robot made to fight against the minew scolls, small monsters that like to disturb the people of the city of Esperanza. Our government has actually tried to keep the minew scolls away from the city of Esperanza and never come back by installing Magnetic Longitudinal waves, but the minews just dizzy and away away, then it will definitely come again. Therefore, the teachers made this robot to fight against minew scolls as well as to punish the students.

“Morning students! Cassidy Alison, please back to your chair now.” Order my class math teacher, Miss Courtney “Yes, I understand miss.” I go straight back to my seat. “Okay, let’s we study the last lessons. Please open your book page 112. I will teach this section.” just got there, we were all shocked by a loud groan. “What is this?” miss Courtney asked in surprise. My friend and I were astonished by the sound. “What sound, is it? so loud?” ask Christine, my friend. “Hey, is it possible that it sounds Scoll Minew?” ask me back. “I don’t know. Every minew scoll comes, we're told to evacuate right?” answer Christine. “Iya, right. I don't know myself. I just guess.” I replied. “Oh, No! That’s scoll minew’s voice. Don’t be panic! Keep calm, student! I will check it, first. Why no one tod us?” miss Courtney said with a slight panic and then immediately locked the classroom door.

Lyssa and Venisa instantly turned their eyes to me. “Hey, Cassidy! show them your scientific work!” ask them both. “Hey, listen to me still do not know and sure whether this tool works well or not. I am afraid it will endanger the city!” I clearly. “Indeed you never tried it at home huh?” Christine asked me. “Which I might try if there's no Minew!” I said pissed. “Cassidy, look at you! You are a talented girl! Why are you always so insecure?” Venisa. “Venisa, I'm not insecure, but I'm just.” until my conversation is interrupted because Miss Courtney came with Miss Walden. “Students, Scoll Minew come again in our town. They came with more troops and weapons. Robots and our waves can't stop them all. Now you come with us underground to take cover. And, do not feel fear and panic.” Miss Walden said. “Miss Walden! Cassidy has very great scientific work and is able to kill all those minew scolls!” Lyssa said arriving. I was so shocked and pulled the pull of Lyssa's shirt to stop her screaming in front of the teacher. “Silence, Lyssa!!” I said over and over again. “Cassidy, is it true that Lyssa said that?” ask Miss Walden. “Ummm, it's true miss, but I still don't know if it's perfect or not.” I said doubtfully. “Alright, let's show it to us. No matter what kind of tool you are, the first can to eradicate all that minew.”

I also showed them where I put my scientific work. I deliberately put it in school to make it easier when showing it to the teacher board. Miss Walden looked at my tools. Then he said “It's perfect! But I still don't know how it works. You'd better use it later, Cassidy. I hope you're ready to take on Minew.” Miss Walden said.

I also walked tensely towards the city streets accompanied by the teacher council. I can't believe it, this! I saw the minew with my own eyes! They are small, but scary. They have strange faces. Never mind, I don't want to look at minew continuously. It scares me even more. I turned it on immediately and left all the minew minews paralyzed. Yeah! I finally managed to defeat the minew that had been troubling the townspeople! Minew ran away and promised not to return to our city. It's happy! All the townspeople were happy. So did my friends and teachers. They're so proud of me. And my parents too. I was interviewed and went on television. I was often asked to do other scientific work. And, even better, I got a scholarship to college and was entitled to attend my favorite school in my country. It's really nice to feel. It all ended happily.
