Math. This times that. That equals this. It screws into her head, doesn't it? Maybe not for you geeks out there, but for me, it can be a shot to the nerves. Math class I usually got a B on, which was average, but man, the homework and quizzes are what bother me the most, and the teacher would always take his sweet time explaining some math problem some student sucked at, or whatever. And I'm sure this teacher ain't the same, as Sunset told me about Mrs. Maudriguez. Great. Well, atleast I suffer with Sunset, right? Right? As soon as we get in, there was a huge seating chart on the whiteboard, setting up the 3rd quarter seats, and how convenient. Me and Sunset sit next to each other AGAIN. But, guess who else was in class. In the top right of the seating chart, the name in the square, indicating the table, read "Bruin." Now I started to fear this jock. Sunset gave me a good description of this man beast, as I would like to call him. He soon entered the class wearing a black-and-white jersey, and takes a nice seat in the chair I looked at. I really started to worry, but hey, this is math class. Teachers are always strict, and can always have eyes and ears during their class, just like my other math teacher. So, what's to worry?
So, the teacher does her thing after the late bell rang, and like every other teacher, introduced me to class like a special celebrity guest. In which, Bruin gave me bull eyes. I continues to stare forward and ignore. Meanwhile, Sunset has took out her math junk and put it all on her desk, and she looked closely into her text book. Studying every single detail and thing shown. "God, I'm so bad at this." she spoke softly to herself. I looked at her, and she was scanning the words and the numbers, getting it all jammed in the head. Wonder what we are learning. "Algebra." she told me. "You good at this kind of stuff?" she depended on me, and I was actually not half bad at this stuff, and so I nodded at her. She was going to be my math partner anyways, I think. Soon, the teacher went over the homework she gave the guys Thursday, and I just listened, trying to know exactly what part of algebra this was. Hopefully not my weak points. Thankfully, I'm not bad at this part. It was easy this section.
So, Maudriguez got her papers and passed them out, and I looked at it. It was a worksheet that involved working with your partner, and I looked at Sunset, whom I was certain was my math partner. She looked really tense at this part, in which I can understand. It was a hard part at my school, too, but I understood it. So, when Mrs. Maudriguez told us to work with our partners, the person by our side, the tables clanged together, and the class went into full work mode. And with Sunset trying to figure out the first problem, I then help her.
"Alright, you struggling there?" I asked with a little grin.
"Um, sure, yeah. I'm struggling. Real hard." she answered. I then point out some things that are very important and the tips on how to do these easily as best as I can, just for Shimmer. She then starts to kinda get it, and so we started working more on the work. "Wow, got that one done." she said. "Nice one there, math geek." I shrugged. "You aren't bad. It's really true." she bumped me in the shoulder with her fist. "Thanks for the help."
"No prob." I told her. And so we finish the worksheet before anyone else does.
So, with the time passing by, I decided to speak to Sunset Shimmer some more before some homework was gonna be passed out. I can tell when homework is coming. "So hey, Sunset," I started. And she looked at me. "So, you wanna go to uh," I then kinda froze there. I actually wanted to ask Sunset if she would wanna come to my place to do some homework and studying on algebra. Yet, I felt like she wouldn't accept. I mean, we just met! No romance can go this quick whatsoever. Even true love. But yet, I didn't want to just stop there like a fool and look strange to her. "My place?" I finished.
Sunset thought about with a little worried look. "You know," she spoke. "I'll go there later on. We are on the same bus, right?" I quickly nod my head. "Sweet, so maybe I can call my parents quick and tell them I'll be at your place." Holy shoop. I actually did it. How it all just happened and how it all executed was perfect. It was settled. Sunset was gonna study and do homework with me. "I wonder if there is homework." she said, sarcastically. Then the homework was passed out. There were about 30 problems, and we had to do all of it. I turned to Sunset Shimmer, who had a worried and tired look on her face. "Your place, man." she said, chuckling.
So, that period passed on by like shooting star, but it wasn't just over yet. There was one more period left until we pack up and finally go home, and in fact have some time with Sunset Shimmer. But wait, I thought of something. Is she actually digging me? Or is this whole attitude of being nice and friendly is to just introduce me because I'm just the new kid in school? Or does she just think of me as a friend? The answers will all come soon enough, but now I had to keep my head up high for the next period. A great finale for a school day: Choir. And quickly, Shimmer told me all her friends were in the class, which actually made me feel really good. So, to the choir room we go, and here's to some beautiful singing.
