Marie Currie

Fantasy.. Not true ;P
_______________________

We were attending our chemistry class. Mr. Stewart was late, which was something unusual!  He used to come to class, very early. The class was very noisy, and I was seated next to Alice, my chemistry partner. 

"Hey, Alice, do you know anything about or next assignment?" I asked

"Umm, well I heard Mr. Stewart mention something about Marie Currie. But I'm not that sure." She answered with a creased forehead

"Oh! That's good. I read her biography yesterday." I replied proudly

"Really? Well, what do know about her, Jake?" she asked with a hint of admiration shinning in her eyes

"Marie was born in Warsaw. She moved to Paris on the 1891 to study there." I replied smartly

"When she was studying at Sorbonne, she met Pierre Currie. They both had interest in magnetism, which drew them together" she replied coolly with a smirk on her face

"She married four years later, 1895. She & Pierre hardly left their laboratory" I said, trying to copy the same tone she used earlier.  

The teacher came to class in a hurry,  before starting the lesson I leaned & whispered to Alice

"Do you think we have a chance that we might end up like them?" I said as I winked to her.

Her face turned into a deep shade of red, and she turned her gaze towards the window. The weather was gloomy, clouds covered the sky, enclosing the sun. It seemed that it was about to rain anytime soon. The lesson started, Alice didn't talk to me unless it was about the lesson or if she needed any help in using the tools to mix substance X with Y. I guess that she was still embarrassed. The class ended and it was time for lunch.

"Alice, is it okay if I sit with you today during lunch?" I asked, as I was hoping for a YES!

 She seemed confused, then answered

"Okay."

After picking our food and choosing our table, we sat down. Alice was busy chewing her galaxy bar and drinking a bottle of fresh milk.

"So, any new information about our heroine Marie?" asked Alice sarcastically

"She received a Nobel prize in Physician in 1903" I said half laughing, half trying to sound serious.

"She also received the Davy Medal in 1903 and Matteccia Medal in 1904." She replied smartly

"She suffered terribly after Pierre's death in 1906, but she continued their work and won a Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1911."

Alice smiled and I smiled back at her, she was about to say something when the bell rang.

"See you later, Jake." Said Alice, and with that she came to me and kissed me on my right cheek, which made feel very hot and light headed.

"Umm, S..See You later!" I replied nervously

Each one of us went to different classes, she had trigonometry while I had Latin language.
