Chapter 8: Awkward!

Chapter 8: Awkward!

A few days passed. They already had lunch and Larissa went up to the library. Adam and her agreed to meet up there. He was holding an algebra book. Ah, yes. Algebra was the best thing for her. She was really good at math and loved numbers... especially phone numbers from cute guys. She has dated seven guys before in her life.

In her other schools, she was always the 'new girl', so guys kept asking her out. But, boy, they didn't know what was coming if they broke her heart. You just have to know one thing...

They ended up in the hospital.

(Larissa)

I was doing algebra today. Oh, how I missed all the fun! I was relieved to come back to the numbers. I felt smarter now!

"Now do you get it?"

"No. It's too hard! I'm starting to think this is messed up and wrong." He said all pissed off.

Haha, and you thought he was the one asking.

I told him my loopholes and tricks in algebra...he didn't get them.

"Oh, come on. Try one more time!"

He looked at me and sighed. "You seriously think this works?"

"Positively! I've done it forever. Everytime I need to come up with a plan, these steps make it easier."

"Oh, then it must work." He said. Hehe, he knew what I was capable of. Huh, never noticed. He continued doing the trick.

After a few minutes, he looked at me. Almost relieved to look. He cracked his knuckles.

"You seriously know how to work things."

"Thanks!" I said proudly.

"I never thought this day would come." He said to himself, looking at the ceiling.

"What day?"

"The day my student would beat me in algebra." He turned to me and chuckled. I smiled and giggled a little. We turned to the book on the table infront of us. We were side-by-side.

"So, I guess we are done with algebra."

"We sure are," I said still looking at the book, then I turned to him. "Whats next?"

"Next is science." He said finally looking at me.

"What?!" I said almost wanting to yell louder. If there were librarians here, I would have already been 'shush'.

"Yup, you do know how to experiment, right?"

"Yeah...." I said scratching my head. He sighed and got up. Probably to look for the spanish text book.

I stared into the window. I realized it was barely noon. Say, like, 2pm?

My thoughts were interrupted by a loud and terrifying thump. I jumped out of surprise and found a giant book in front of me. Damn.

"You have got to be kidding me."

"No, I'm not. You need to know how to mix things in an orderly matter. If you don't, the experiment might end bad."

"Why?! Its not like if I'm ever gonna use it!"

"Sure you won't." He said sarcasticly and sat down.

I looked at him in disgust. "You really must hate me. After all I've done to you, this is how you repay me?!"

"Hey, first of all: I don't hate you. I care about you. Second: nobody ever said that you had to give me the Sneaker."
