Outside of the street: 1 Rue de Pontoise, 75005 Paris, France outside of the Luxury Penthouse in Paris Notre Dame, Shang stepped out of the van, holding a strawberry Swiss roll cake, he stopped at the front door where the delivery is being placed at.

Shang: Okay, this looks like the address. *He knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer the door. Then, the door knob turned and the door opened. *

Female resident: Hello?

Shang: Hello, are you the one who ordered the strawberry Swiss roll cake?

Female resident: (taking the strawberry swiss roll cake) Yes, I did. It's for my daughter. 

Shang: I hope she enjoys them.

Female resident: Thank you, she will. And here's 10-euros.

Shang: (taking the 10-euros) Thank you. *He put the money in his pocket, the female resident closed the door, and Shang walked back to the van then drove back to the Bakery. * That was easy. Wonder what other delivery route I'll do next. In the bakery, Sabine put a watermelon cupcake in a small box, and placed it on the counter. * 

Sabine: Here's your cupcake, ma'am.

Female customer: (taking the box) Thank you. *She leaves the bakery with her cupcake. Then, the phone rang, she picked up the receiver, and talked into it. * 

Sabine: Tom and Sabine Boulangerie Patisserie, how can I help you? Oh, hi Anarka. Yeah, we got the cake all ready to go. Just come by and pick it up. Okay, thank you. *She hung up the phone and in front of her, the door opened and a small line (three people) started coming into the bakery. *

Mushu: Is it lunch yet?

Sabine: Another 20 minutes.

Mushu: Okay. *Soon, Mulan stepped out with the cake box. * 

Sabine: Right on time, Anarka is on her way.

Mulan: Okay. You'll just give it to her when she gets here.

Sabine: Perfect. Hello, how can I help you? *In Marin's room, Marin put in the last response to his English work. *

Marin: There. All done. *He logged off of Canvas, closed his laptop, and get up from his chair. * Glad that's over. *He raised his arms up and stretched too. * What time is it? *He looked at the time on his phone. * 11:20, it's lunch time. I'll be right back, guys. 

Livy/Spiike: Okay. *Marin leaves the bedroom and heads to the kitchen for something to eat. *





At College Francoise DuPont, in Mrs. Jones' science class, Mrs. Jones went through the three states of matter and Plasma, she drew some pictures based on them and explanation on the bottom while the class writes down the lecture notes based on them.

Mrs. Jones: Solid is when the molecules that make up a solid are arranged in regular, repeating patterns. They are held firmly in place but it can vibrate within a limited area.

Kim: That explains why it look so cramped and barely moving.

Mrs. Jones: Yes, Kim. That is why. Liquid is when the molecules that make up a liquid flow easily around one another. They are kept from flying apart by attractive forces between them. Liquids assume the shape of their containers. Gas is where the molecules that make up a gas fly in all directions at great speeds. In fact, they are so far apart that the attractive forces between them are insignificant. *Mark writes down the last sentence on Plasma when his pencil lead broke. *

Mark: Aw, man. *He raised his hand and Mrs. Jones looked at Mark. *

Mrs. Jones: Yes, Mark?

Mark: My pencil broke. May I sharpen it?

Mrs. Jones: Sure. *Mark got up from his seat and sharpened his pencil. * Lastly is Plasma. Plasma, at the very high temperatures of stars, atoms lose their electrons. The mixture of electrons and nuclei that results is the plasma state of matter. That's all you need to know about the state of matter, are there any questions? *No one has any questions for her. * Okay, good to know. I have an experiment planned for us on Monday and one more assignment before I give you all your first test of the semester. 

Rylan: What? A test? Already? *A few students complained about that. *

Mrs. Jones: Hey, now. I know this is unexpected, but think of a way of reviewing what we learned and see how much we paid attention in this class. 

Alya: That will be a bit tough.

Mrs. Jones: We got about... 15 minutes until class is over, I have a small assignment for you all to do. It's really easy and it's just four questions. I will grade them when you turn it in and hand them back to you all on Monday. *She starts passing out their assignment to everyone in the classroom and everyone's getting started on the small assignment before class ends. In Ms. Yelda's biology class, Ms. Yelda goes through her lesson on Plants and Animal cells. Some students find the lectures to be boring and make no sense, but they don't want to say anything about it. *

Ms. Yelda: There are two types of cells, those are Animal and Plant cells. An Animal Cell is a type of eukaryotic cell that lacks a cell wall and has a true, membrane-bound nucleus along with other cellular organelles. Here's what it looks like. *She pulled down the diagram of the Animal Cell. * This is the Animal Cell and what each part of the Animal Cell. Animal cells can range in size from a few microscopic microns to a few millimetres. The largest known animal cell is the ostrich egg, which can stretch over 5.1 inches across and weighs about 1.4 kilograms. This is in stark contrast to the neuron in the human body, which is just 100 microns across. *She uses her pointer, then she moves it around the diagram of the Animal Cell, and points it out at a few parts of the cell. * The shape of animal cells also varies, with some being flat, others oval or rod-shaped. There are also more intriguing shapes such as curved, spherical, concave and rectangular. Most of the cells are microscopic in size and can only be seen under the microscope.

Kevin: (quietly yawned).

James: (whispered) Bored already?

Kevin: (whispered back) You know it. It's hard to know about the Plant and Animal cells.

James: (whispered back) It'll get better when you get a better understanding.

Kevin: (moving his pencil around) Let's hope so. 

Ms. Yelda: And as stated before, animal cells are eukaryotic cells with a membrane-bound nucleus. Furthermore, these cells exhibit the presence of DNA inside the nucleus. They also comprise other membrane-bound organelles and cellular structures which carry out specific functions necessary for a cell to function properly. *Yunyun raised her hand. * Yes, Yunyun?

Yunyun: How will we know what part is in the Animal Cell?

Ms. Yelda: I'm glad you asked that, Yunyun. Here's a way. *She stepped to the left, with a pointer in her hand, and points at the diagram that is labeled clearly. * We can tell just by what name goes to what number. 

Yunyun: Ahh, okay. 

Ms. Yelda: Now, I'll show you what the Plant Cell looks like. *She stepped to the right and pointed at the Plant cell picture. * This is what the Plant Cell looks like. Know what the Animal Cell and Plant Cell look like and what they mean. You will know this for an upcoming test on cells very, very soon.

Joshua: (whispered to Owen) Least she didn't say next week or Monday.

Owen: (whispered back to Joshua) I don't think she set up a date for the test. But fingers crossed for not Monday.

Joshua: (crossing his fingers) Way ahead of you.

Ms. Yelda: Now, the Plant cells are eukaryotic, which means that they contain a distinct nucleus. Plant cells have three unique structures which set them apart from other eukaryotes, such as animal cells: the cell wall, plastids, and vacuoles. Plant cells are microscopic in size on the order of 0.01 to 1.0 mm. Unlike animal cells, plant cells have a cell wall surrounding the cell membrane. Although often perceived as an inactive product serving mainly mechanical and structural purposes, the cell wall actually has a multitude of functions upon which plant life depends. Chloroplast is a type of plastid -a saclike organelle with a double membrane that serves as the site of photosynthesis, the process by which energy from the Sun is converted into chemical energy for growth. 

Michelle: Hmm. *She writes down the note on Plant Cells. *

Trixie: Is this all gonna be on the test, Ms. Yelda?

Ms. Yelda: Yes, Trixie. Everything we talk about on Animal and Plant cells will be on the upcoming test, which is why it's important to take notes and understand the topic so you won't forget it while taking the test. I don't want all of you to fail or be failures in school. So don't hesitate to ask me any questions, understand? *Everyone answered yes to Ms. Yelda. * Good, now where was I? The Chloroplasts contain the pigment chlorophyll to absorb light...

Joshua: (whispered to Owen) Least I won't hesitate or get stumped over anything. *He starts writing in his notebook and pays attention to what Ms. Yelda is explaining. *





Outside on the Courtyard, Coach Collins watch his class do 20 push-ups.

Coach Collins: 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20. Enough, stand up. *Everyone stand up from doing push-ups. * You're all doing well on close to your first full week of school and I expect that from all of you in my class. You outta be in tip-top shape, be more agile, and more energetic. Not like couch potatoes who just laze around all day and can barely lift a finger. 

Lucas; (stretched his arms out) Least I'm not a couch potato.

Abby: Uh, no one said you were.

Lucas: true, but just saying.

Coach Collins: Since we got 10 more minutes until class is done, why don't you all head to the locker room, change out of your gym clothes and put back on your regular clothes until the bell rings, okay? *Everyone answered okay to Coach Collins. * Good. *He blew his whistle telling them to go to the locker room and get changed back. * Be glad it's Friday, I got something planned for them on Monday. *In the girls locker room, the girls were talking while changing out of their gym clothes, putting on deodorant, and putting on their regular clothes. *

Kennedy: (putting on her pink polo) Glad that's over. *She gets her bottle of perfume and sprint herself. *

Lori: Don't you find Coach Collins a little strict? *She gets her hair brush and start brushing her hair. *

Kennedy: Strict how?

Lori: I don't know, he just looks strict but does he sound strict to you?

Kennedy: (putting the perfume back in her locker. *Zoe puts her jacket back on and buckle up her pants. *

Zoe: (Just two more class periods left before after school.) *She pack up her gym clothes and closed her locker. Brittany looked over at Zoe, she walked up to her. *

Brittany: Hey Zora, right?

Zoe: It's Zoe.

Brittany: Oh, right. Silly me, I always get confused on who's who. So, I saw how good your acting skills is in theater class.

Zoe: (looking away) Oh, thank you.

Brittany: I assume you heard about me and my friends.

Zoe: No, who's your friends?

Brittany: Oh, right.  You never heard of us. The clique that I'm in is called Style Brigade, along with Janelle, Alyssa, and Kelly: Queen Bees.

Zoe: 'Kinda like my sister who's Queen Bee.' 

Brittany: We basically rule this school and put anyone who doesn't respect or think they're better than us in their place. They'll think twice of overpowering. Wanna know something?

Zoe: What?

Brittany: (looking at her nails) Mariah's father Morgan Adams, is the School board superintendent. Do you know what that is?

Zoe: Is it someone who oversees several important tasks including hiring staff, managing budgets, monitoring student success, and developing a vision for the district?

Brittany: That's... right. How do you know about that?

Zoe: I had the school board superintendent come to my boarding school once when I was in New York.

Brittany: Okay then. You could say Mariah has diplomatic immunity and gets away with anything with just a threat to call her father, the School Board Superintendent and have him deal with it. So, you may be new for like a week, but I'll let you know. *She walked up to Zoe. * Don't cause any problems with either of us and there won't be any problems, okay?

Zoe: Okay?

Brittany: Good. See ya. *She walked out of the locker room, Zoe looked confused, and Amore appeared. *

Amore: What was that about?

Zoe: I don't know, but I hope she and the others won't do anything drastic or bad. *She closed her locker, Anore disappeared, then walked out of the locker room, and met up at the courtyard for the rest of the class period. *





Outside of the Bakery, the van parked outside, Shang stepped out and walked inside the bakery. 

Sabine: Hello, Shang. Back from the delivery routes?

Shang: Yep. Here you go. *Sabine takes the money, opened the register, and put the money inside then closed the register. * 

Sabine: Thank you.

Shang: You're welcome.

Mushu: (holding a slice of cheesecake in a box) Here's the cheesecake.

Sabine: (taking the box) Thank you, Mushu. Here you go, sir. 

Male customer: (taking the box) Thank you. I love blueberry cheesecake. *He walked out of the bakery with his cheesecake. *

Sabine: Think we're done here. 

Mushu: Finally, it's lunch time, right?

Sabine: Yes, Mushu. It's lunchtime. *But before they close up for lunch, the door opened, and it was Anarka. * Oh. Anarka, you're here for the cake.

Anarka: Aye, I am. How much do I owe you?

Sabine: 10-euros.

Anarka: (holding out a 10-euro bill) Of course. Here you go.

Sabine: (taking the money) Thank you. *She opened the register again, put the money inside, and closed up the register. * Here's your cake, hopefully you and the kids enjoy it.

Anarka: (taking the cake box) We will. Especially the birthday girl. Goodbye.

Sabine: Goodbye. *Anarka leaves the bakery with the cake. * 

Shang: I'll lock up for lunch.

Sabine: Thank you, Shang. Come on, Mushu. 

Mushu: Okey-dokey. *He jumps off the counter and followed Sabine out of the bakery and to the front door of the house. *

Tom: We'll be there soon. I just have to clean up the table. 

Mulan: (checking on the fresh brioche buns) And get these pastries done too. 

Sabine: Okay. *She keeps walking out of the bakery. In the kitchen, Marin drinks some water when he sees the front door open and he sees his mom and Mushu. * 

Marin: Hey, guys.

Sabine: Hey, honey. Done with your Zoom?

Marin: Yeah, I am. What's for lunch?

Sabine: Hmm, I don't know. I'll check the freezer. *She opened the freezer door and see what's in there to eat. * We still got some frozen TV dinners if you want one.

Marin: Nah, I'm not hungry for you. Think we should wait for dad to come and make lunch?

Sabine: Would you mind waiting? I got something in here I can eat.

Marin: Okay. *Sabine opened the pantry door, pulled out a cup of instant noodles, opened the packaging, threw away the trash, opened it, added some water in the cup, and microwaved it for three minutes. * 

Sabine: This will hold me until your dad makes something.

Marin: Okay. *The microwave beeped, she opened the door, and got her cup of noodles out. She removes the
