Chapter 19

I don’t want to go. What could I do? Maybe I could go play poker with Taylor and drink some beers. Maybe I could call a girl or see Gemma. All the ideas are awesome but none are good enough.

I want to hit my head against the steering wheel because I'm still thinking about Lucinda.

I don’t know what to do or go. That sounds so pathetic. Ugh.

I closed the door of my car and made my way back; I head straight to the library. I have nothing better to do; maybe I can kill time with Lucinda. I went to the library and walked silently through the tables until I saw Lucy. She is not alone; she's with Marcel the super freak nerd.

They don’t look like they were studying, they are both silent reading something.

"Hey, hey." I said as I sit in front of Lucinda.

She flinches and raised her gaze to me.

"Ha-harry?" Lucy and Marcel ask at the same time. How nice, the nerds speak in unison.

"What are you doing?" I smile.

"Reading." Both nerds answer.

"Shouldn’t you be studying?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"...We were on a little break." She shrugs.

"What's that?” I asked before snatch the small magazine she was reading.

Um, not a magazine, it's a comic.

"Harry, give it back." She begs stretching her hand toward me.

"Superman?" I asked with a smile. I can’t believe she is reading a comic, this kind of stuff are for boys.

"Yes, now give it back." I shake my head and she rolls her eyes. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I don’t have anything more to do”. I answered quickly.

"We are studying ..." Marcel says. "You could ask questions to us."

Marcel you fucking pussy.

 "Okay dear cousin." I said sarcastically. Marcel gives me a notebook that contains several exercises.

"We are ready." Lucinda and Marcel say simultaneously. What the fuck? Why are they still talking at the same time?

"Okay ... let's see.  A 1.5 m tall boy is standing at some distance from a 30 m tall building. The angle of elevation from his eyes to the top of the building increases from 30∘ to 60∘ as he walks towards the building. Find the distance he walked towards the building.”

What the fuck I just read? I want to throw up, math is disgusting, how can they like this?

Lucy and Marcel exchange glances and then both look at their notebooks and start writing.

"I finished." Lucy says after three minutes of typing rare equations on her notebook. "10?" I looked at the result in the notebook and it’s correct. I nod and smile girl.

"Fu-fu-fuck!" Marcel whispers.

I looked at him and I laughed. "What the fuck?"

"It's a personal project." Marcel responds frowning.

"Don’t ever do that again, you sound like a fucking retarded.”

"Harry ..." Lucy scolds me. I roll my eyes and change the subject by saying the next exercise.

We spent a few hours as well. I say the questions, they respond. Both are good and fast, totally nerds. I read the spiderman comic while they talked about math, I laughed every time Marcel cursed and I insulted him just to get a glance of Lucy. I like when she scolds me for insulting Marcel.
