 * The brainiest kid in the World**

“Right class get your spelling books out and ready for our weekly test,” said Mr Anslow. It was part of our weekly routine every Monday. Books out and work, work, work! “Hurry up Jimmy, you’re holding us all up,” growled Mr Anslow singling me out for being the slowest. He probably picked me out because I seemed to score the lowest on our weekly spelling test every week. It has been like this from day one of the year.

As Mr Anslow is glaring at me with his big round thick glasses, I drift off into my own world, a world where I am the Sonny Bill Williams of rugby and the Michael Jordan of Basketball. I love sport, it’s what I live for. I’d play anything. I can visualize my brown curly hair bouncing up and down as I power down the court, my blue eyes focused on the goal and my cheeky grin emerging as the ball swishes through the basket - aahh sweet. But seeing as I am just the sport mad, cheeky class clown it’s amazing how I became the brainiest person in the world.

Three weeks ago I had a crazy thing happen to me. It was in the middle of June, I was sitting in class, just a usual monday morning, doing my normal spelling routine when all of a sudden I felt something big, something huge, something ginormous! Thump. Something hit me in the head and shuddered all the way down the length of my body. It felt like bricks tumbling on top of me, banging and bumping, rolling and rumbling. But to this day I have no idea what it was. In fact I can not even imagine what it could have been. Not one person in the class noticed, yet it sounded like a freight train rumbling through my brain. I looked around but everyone was engrossed in their work, they couldn’t hear anything. This was bizarre.

I poked Anna who was sitting next to me, “Did you hear that?” I asked her. “What?” she said, “Do your work, you are always mucking around Jimmy.” I was starting to freak out now. I pushed myself out of my chair, looking under my desk for any signs of what might have just happened - nothing! I walked to the back of the room to look through the window - nothing! The sky was clear blue with a few of those cotton wool clouds just hanging. There was no breeze. When I thought about it, even this was unusual for a winters day. I wasn’t really sure what I was looking for but something which seemed to be of an extraterrestrial nature appeared to have taken place.

I wandered back to my desk as Mr Anslow was waiting to start the spelling test and glaring at me, not that that was unusual! He started the testing, “First word, abominable”. He paused, “second word, fantastic”. He continued with the list of ten words and then it was time to mark. “A-b-o-m-i-n-a-b-l-e”, spelt out Mr Anslow. He spelled out all ten words and then asked our scores. “Jimmy, have you managed to get more than one correct today?” asked Mr Anslow in a rather sarcastic manner. I was staring at my paper in disbelief, “Ten out of ten Mr Anslow.” “Jimmy, don’t lie, I don’t have time for your playing around.” “But Mr Anslow I did! Look.” I walked to the front of the class and showed him my paper. “Jimmy did you copy off someone else?” “No Mr Anslow, I’m not sure how I did it, but I did it all myself.” “Jimmy Barton you have never scored more than correct spelling word all year, why should I believe today that you have have suddenly tripled your brain cells?” growled Mr Anslow.

Perhaps that was it, I had been injected with more brain cells by aliens when I had been day dreaming at my desk. The thump I had heard was the new cells falling in the emptiness of my head. That would be a reasonable explanation.

Whatever it was that happened this was just the start. I answered all my basic facts correctly. I could answer every question Mr Anslow asked about algebraic equations, even for the top Math group. I could answer every question I had asked about aliens in my Inquiry about space.

I was the brainiest kid in the world!

Anyway after I had woken up from this what seemed to be a dream
