Biology Homework

Biology Homework


“….hmm…m…my name is Wang Jing, and I am actually Chinese…. How about you”
“I’m from Japan…I look like Japanese don’t I?”
“A little maybe…But I am sure that you are pretty….”
“Really? Thanks a lot. I think you are a very kind person”

Burp….and another Burp from Wang Jing came out….

“Wang…that’s really rude…burping in front of a lady is not a right habit to have!”
“Oh…sorry… this is just m….”
“No thank you! Bye! I don’t want to have a boyfriend that burps in front of me!”

It was my burp again that blocked all the relationship with other girls. I hate about myself and I just wanted to get rid of this burp that impedes my life’s way. Some guys in my college make fun of my habit and call me “dirty Asian.” This burp was never helpful in my life except after the meal because burp facilitates my digestion. I went back to my house riding a train to Virginia. I came all the way to meet a girl that I could only see for less than five minutes thanks to my burp.

My mom was standing beside the tree in front of my house, waiting for good news from 
my mouth. After seeing my face, she suddenly got depressed.

“It was the burp again that I hat about myself! Mom, why did you have a baby like me!”
“Because you are my only son honey…” mom said.
“I don’t need anything. I just hate myself and I hate you too!”
“Wang…please…”

Relationship between Wang and his mom, Xiong, was really good except after the meeting that Wang had. Wang was the only son that Xiong had and her husband passed away due to the accident that he had in the construction site. The world was falling down when Xiong heard his son saying “I hate you.” However, whenever she heard something bad from his son, she considered it as all her fault because she thought Wang was unfortunate to be born in a poor family.

A day ended with the sound of Xiong crying on her bed.

“Mom! Do you know where my biology note is? If I don’t bring it, I will get points deducted!”
“How can I know Wang. Find thoroughly.”
“Oh! I found it mom.”
“OK son, have a good day!”

Since Wang’s house was far away from his school and no car to ride, Wang had to leave his house earlier than other students. When he arrives at the school, he usually went over the information that he learned yesterday and prepare for the question that he wanted to ask to his teacher. His major was biology and he wanted to look good at his biology professor, Mr.Garry.

“Mr. Garry!”
“Yes, Wang”
“Can you please explain the concept cell membrane?”
“If you think easily Wang, it is like your skin that protects your body, and this protection is done by cell membrane. Plus, cell membrane allows crucial substances to flow through the cell.”
“Oh…I see.. thank you Mr. Garry!”

The class always started with the question that Wang asked to his teachers. In his class, there was a named Cherry, who was also majoring in biology. The reason why Wang was majoring biology was partly because of the girl he liked. But, he couldn’t have a conversation with her because he was afraid to burp in front of her. He thought that girls never burp even they drink soda or coke and they have different body structure that doesn’t allow females to burp. And he has never seen his mother burp in front of him. Talking to Cherry freely without any worry was Wang’s only wish other than having a perfect GPA in his school.

One day, he determined to have a little talk with her with an excuse of asking homework. He was quiet but formed bravery through his mid.

“Ch…Cherry…?”
“Yes? How are you Wang?
“I’m fine…Actually…I just want to ask a little question.”
“What is it Wang? Feel free to ask!”
In Wang’s mind, “Wow…this girl is not only pretty but also kind and generous. I think I love this girl.”
“What was the biology homework that Mr. Garry told us to do?”
“Oh…it’s quite a lot…I will tax message you the question numbers that we have to solve what’s your number?”
“O…oh…it’s 604…5201”
“I saved it in my phone. Wait for my message!”
“Wow, thanks a lot Cherry. Have a great day!”

Wang was just too happy to tax message a girl he liked the most, and he didn’t burp while taking to her. It was just a wonderful day for him that cannot come again in his life. When he came back to his house, he only waited for his cell phone to ring.

Ding Ding Dong… his cell phone rang, and Wang shouted.

“Yes! Thanks God…”

He tax messaged her back with a great thanks and telling her that if she needs help in studying biology, he can help her.

Ding Ding Dong… his cellphone rang again, and she said if it is okay to have a time to ask some hard concepts tomorrow. Obviousl, Wang said yes. He prepared everything that he knew in order to answer all the questions that Cherry will ask.
Tomorrow came and he was excited to meet Cherry. Wang thought about asking a date with her when the situation goes well. The class ended and Cherry wanted a tutor for about an hour. She asked almost everything and Wang could answer all the questions as he expected. One hour went like a thunder, and it was time for them to leave.

“Thanks a lot Wang! It was really helpful. You are a great guy”
“You are welcome Cherry. Can I ask you something?”
“Yes…What is it?”
“Will you hang out with me? Please…”
“I am sorry Wang…I already have a boyfriend in other school”
“Oh…I am sorry… good bye Cherry…”

It was obvious for a pretty and benevolent girl to have a boyfriend, but it was too shocking for Wang to admit. He stood still even after dismissing Cherry and a burp came out…
