It was a gorgeously beautiful day for Gwen Stacy. The scrambled eggs and juice for breakfast couldn't make it any better.
She packed her laptop, a few notebooks plus... the heavy robot.
"Honey, will you manage? " Her mother called behind her.
"I'm fine, mom. Just... " She stumbled across a stone falling face first on the ground.
"Aww Stacy. " Miss Helen Stacy ran over to help. She loved her daughter so much it was addictive.

"Are you alright? "
"I'm fine, mom. Please don't make a big deal of it. "
"I'm calling a doctor right now!" Miss Helen joked. She pulled out her phone mimicking a dialogue, "Hey doctor, my sweet baby has a bad knee...Whatcha mean you're busy.... Listen doctor, my beautiful baby girl is here with a hurt knee and you're busy...hello, hello.. ."
They were both laughing now. "Take care big baby. Mwah. "

Gwen Stacy made it to class barely on time. The Physics Professor Kim Wilde was already concluding a section.
"Mrs. Stacy, you're late! "
Gwen looked around nervously, the whole class on her.
"Stacy? "
"Oh, sorry sir. Won't happen again sir, I promise?"
"Please take your seat. " He said before commencing the lecture.

Break time bell clinged a few minutes later.
"Alright, there we have it. Please make sure to complete your projects by Tuesday. We're having exhibitions at the museum by Tuesday. " Professor Kim said.
The whole class mumbled disappointment.
"But sir, you said it was today?! " one boy said. Others joined in.
"Well, programmes changed Trevor. The museum has some very important guests today. "
"We too are important. " One other boy sniggered in the background, as the whole class moved out.
"Stacy, may I have a word please? " Professor Kim said.

"So, how's your project going? " Professor Kim said. He was a tall man, with a grey moustache and a bulbous nose.
"Fine. Except I haven't checked my code to see if it's working alright." Gwen confessed.
"What about your group? "
"Oh, they're in the workshop. " Gwen lied, "I told them to work on the mechanics, I do the software. "
If only the assholes ever helped...
"Alright! " Professor Kim now stood up, "You are going to represent the class at the museum Stacy. Will you handle it? "
Gwen thought about it. What's there about handling anyway?
"Yeah sure. "
"OK. You're dismissed. "
Gwen Stacy walked anxiously. Class representative? Finally...finally.
"Hey, Stacy. One more thing. Check out David Cook's Robot Building. Could help you. It's a good book. "
"Yeah, sure. Thanks sir. "

Outside, Gwen Stacy felt dizzy. Maybe it's just the pressure of being the best, she thought as she took a seat.
Her appetite was tripled from the professor's words.
Class representative. At the museum... Wow.

I'll never forget this day, Gwen Stacy thought.
But she had forgotten...
About that multicoloured creature...that bit her neck...
Coffee....
Code...
Coffee...
Code.
