8th Grade Final Exam Essay

The paper was blank, the pen was out of ink, and the clock ticked on. This test was just put in front of me along with the empty pen. I may be a genius but do they expect me to write with a pen as dry as a bone? Was it some kind of puzzle or maybe a game? Yeah, a game, let’s abduct Tyrone and see what he does if we give him a timed test and a stupid pen that is incapable of even making a dot. But, that doesn’t sound like fun. It could be karma for back talking to my teacher because she was wrong. But, that shouldn’t be wrong because, I was honestly just telling her she was incorrect, not trying to prove my intelligence. Anyway, I keep getting distracted. This test is a lot of pressure and I hate pressure but all it does is keep building and the clock just keeps going, never stopping, like my sister talking on the phone. What’s even worse is I can’t understand the questions. If I don’t understand the questions I can’t get the questions right and I have never answered a question wrong before and I am not about to start. They are in a language not even known to mankind, well not that I know of anyway, and I know a lot, I mean I am a genius.
They passed by me speaking this unknown language. It kind of sounded like Simmish. You know how on The Sims they speak their own language. I tried understanding it but it was useless, I probably have more of a chance of understanding monkey. Oh, right the test, I forgot about it, again, and the stupid pen!
“Hmm…what to do,” I said aloud.
I really wish I hadn’t because right as I did they rushed to me and started yelling at me, of course I was unable to comprehend what they were saying, so I just sat back and tried to read the test. The weird thing is the more I read it the more I understood it. Soon their yelling turned into actual words I could understand, it still sounded the same but I was able to understand every syllable. They were saying things like, “What’d you say?” or, “Do you understand us?” In these kinds of situations it is better not to talk. Maybe I could learn why they brought me here. I’ll accomplish this by eavesdropping, of course they wouldn’t know because they would still think I couldn’t understand what they’re saying. Maybe somehow I could counterattack even though I have no athletic ability what so ever. So instead I’ll use the power of my brain, God that sounded so nerdy. Well it’s time to commence operation “Counterattack on the Weird People That Abducted Me.” Yes, I know that that needs some improvement but right now is not the time to be a perfectionist.
They sat, talking in the corner. I closed my eyes because, as everyone should know, when you cut off one of your senses your other ones become more efficient. Kind of like a bat has very poor vision but has incredible hearing. Not that I look like a bat at all. I probably shouldn’t be thinking about this right now. For all I know mankind is in danger. I doubt it, but it could happen, I mean you never know. I concentrated on their conversation, stumbling over some words seeing as I am particularly new to this language. “Like a virgin, touched for the very first time.” God, I hate that song. It is probably the worst song ever. Why can’t I concentrate? Is it really that hard for someone with my intellect to pay attention to a possibly dangerous situation? I’m acting like I have A.D.D. or something. Time to forget my lack of concentration and frustration with myself, and time to listen to the group talk.
“Arisu, I’m starting to think this is a waste of time,” droned the one on the right. She was kind of hot. She had shoulder length, green hair that came to little spikes at the ends. She had a navy blue headband running through her hair. Located above her pixyish nose where violet eyes. They were like the color of purple on the horizon when the sun is setting.
“I completely agree with all my heart.” Replied the one with the dark blue, spiky hair, located at the far left.
The only guy, sitting in the middle of the two hot space girls butted in, “You guys need to stop complaining, it’s not that bad.”
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT’S NOT THAT BAD!?” exploded the one I have come to know as Arisu, “We have been sitting here for almost two hours waiting to see how smart he is. He’s supposed to be a genius and what does he do? Nothing! He can’t even complete the test that one of our kindergarteners could ace!”
She was kind of hot too. I’m not that attracted to light blue skin that all of them were cursed with but she had spiky, dark blue hair, conveniently placed in a high pony, with a couple bangs that hung in front of her face. She also had striking, lemony yellow eyes. They were sort of hypnotic.
“Can’t we just conclude that the human race isn’t intelligent? One of their smartest can’t even do a simple test. I think it is safe to say they are an unintelligent race.” Said the alien chick with green hair.
The guy said, “No, Izumi,” almost as if he was talking to a child, “We have to watch him until the end of the test.” The guy had short, orange, spiky hair. It looked cool but personally I don’t really like the guy.
“You are so annoying sometimes Zayne. It makes me wanna kick your butt.” Said Arisu coolly. It kind of gave me the chills. This girl was dangerous. I could especially tell by the scared look the guy tried to hide on his face.
“Calm down Arisu,” Izumi said in the hopes to calm her friend down, “We only have, like, 15 more minutes. Then we can report back to Queen Zeliq.”
Arisu replied with a creepy, somewhat murderous smile. “Yeah, then we can kill him and the rest of his idiotic species.”
After hearing that I finally understood why I was put in front of this test and empty pen. They were just testing me, one of the smarter humans, to see just how smart our smartest are so they can decide whether to attack! Which is actually smart. What’s the point of fighting and dying when you have a much more probability that you’ll win if you study your enemy and find his weakness? This was exactly what I was waiting for; the moment they unknowingly revealed their plan to me. The only thing is how to stop it? New trivia question: How to stop an alien invasion while you are trapped with them, and the only objects available are a test and a pen? Only a genius that knew the language could figure that out. Lucky for Earth they happen to have one at their disposal. To bad he didn’t have a pen. Wait I forgot, how stupid of me, I put one in my pocket earlier; maybe it was still there.
I quickly shuffled through the pages answering the 350 questions. They were pretty simple questions. Some even asked what E=mc² stood for and how it could be used. It also asked what two colors make green. I have taken many tests and this by far has to be the most interesting. Arisu, Izumi, and Zayne all just sat there watching me in amazement that a stupid Earthling could solve their test. Obviously they thought that humans were a mentally inferior race. Which in fact we equally match them or even surpass them, besides the fact that they have discovered how to fly faster than the speed of light and we haven’t.
“Done.” Izumi and I said just as the time ran out.
Wow, that was probably the fastest I have ever answered 350 questions. Seriously you try and answer 350 questions in approximately 14 minutes. Now there is a sense of accomplishment. They briskly took the test away still in shock. Good thing they forgot to check my pockets after they abducted me. But, just as quickly as they left they came back holding a new test. As Arisu and Zayne stood there setting there watches Izumi smiled at me and placed the test in front of me. Naturally I smiled back at her, I always smile back at pretty girls.
“I wonder if he can complete this one,” Zayne chortled as if he doubted I could.
“You have a half hour to finish the test,” Izumi told me ignoring what her partner said, “Good luck.”
“Thanks.” I replied in the Simmish sounding language.
“Okay…BEGIN!” Arisu shouted while doing a gesture signaling me to start.
You know how they do in races, where the referee cuts the air with his arm.
With the signal to begin I opened the test and started to read the first question, which read: Name all the elements on the universal periodic table. What kind of question is that? How am I supposed to know the universal periodic table? I have only been to Earth. Well, whatever I’ll just skip it. To my surprise that was the only hard question. The rest were extremely simple. For example the second question read: How many galaxies are there in the universe? Everyone knows that there are exactly 639,866,047,856 galaxies in the universe and some being born at this very moment. And the rest only got easier. Again just as the time ran out I finished, which makes sense, I finished 700 questions in 30 minutes. 700 is exactly twice as much as 350 and 30 is 15 doubled. At least I know I have a constant rate. Arisu hurried off with the test only to return with a frown on her face. What a relief. I passed. Mankind is safe.
“Congratulations!” Izumi said happily as she shook my hand.
“Uh…thanks, I guess,” where the only words that came to me.
“Oh, yay! Congratulations, we don’t get to kill you.” Arisu said mockingly. I am really starting to dislike her. But, she’s still hot.
Zayne walked in, “Queen Zeliq ordered me to ask you if you would like to join us on our journeys?” he offered with a look of disgust on his face.
“You aren’t serious?” retorted Arisu through clenched teeth, “Why would she do that?” She kind of looked like Jaws.
With even more disgust on his face Zayne replied, “ He did so well on the tests that she thinks he is worthy to travel the universe with us.”
“The universe?” I said even though I knew that’s what he said, “Of course I would. That’d be a great opportunity for discovering and learning. I’d finally be able to experience what’s out side the Milky Way. Not to mention I’d be the first person to go beyond the Milky Way.”
“Well then it’s settled,” came a voice from the doorway. Arisu, Izumi, and Zayne all bowed. It was Queen Zeliq, well I’m guessing anyway. So not to be rude I bowed. All I really know is that she is extremely hot. She had blonde, medium long hair, with her bangs to the side, and bright, crystal, blue eyes. She had the kindest expression I have ever seen. And she is hardly older than me. Too bad she’s queen. There goes our marriage.
Zeliq gracefully walked over to me only to hold out her hand as she said, “Welcome aboard Mr. Tyrone.” As I took her hand she said, “ You will be our new guide, tester, and interrupter.” She ended it with the cutest smile I have ever seen.
“Th-thank you your majesty,” I stuttered only to get another smile. This time I smiled back at her.
I am just happy that later I found out that she was actually single. We did get along very well. Even though I was always teased for being a nerd I eventually took on the role of king. I showed them.
