Chapter 5: Math test

Riley's pov

I looked at her from the corner of my eyes, she filled in her name on the test paper and posed. It looked like she was in a trance she just stared at the math paper with a frown on her face. I knew she will have alot of difficulties even to solve a 6th grade math test paper so i didn't expect her to do much on this one.

I quietly filled in the informations needed before answering the questions. Honestly which insane teacher will give a test on the first day? The worst or the best for some people was that after distributing the test he sat behind his desk and started reading a novel, so people could do however they wanted, but in silence.

Anyways this test wasn't hard at all for me, everything looked like basic knowledge, i didn't even have to use my calculator for most of it but someone next to me couldn't keep her hands away from it.

It was just 15 minutes since the start of this test and i already finished answering them all. Mr. Alexander gave us 30 minutes for the test so i still had 15 minutes left to cross check my work even though i knew it was perfect.

I looked at Emily who was solving something in her calculator, when i saw it i wasn't that shocked because she was stupid enough to use a calculator so as to know what eleven minus seven gives. When i looked at her paper it was a disaster, it looked like she was answering questions who weren't even on the sheet.

She caught me looking at her paper and hide it from my gaze as if i wanted to steal her answers. I giggled lowly, why will i steal answers from her of all people present in this class. She looked taken aback by me laughing at her, well even i will be offended if someone laughed at my face

"What are you laughing about? You stupid nerd!" she asked sternly and loud enough for only me to hear. I honestly didn't want to answer her, it has been a long time since i had properly talked to her and i wanted it to stay that way but!

"I am laughing at your stupidity" i said. She looked kinda shocked because she too didn't expect me to answer her, i guess she taught i was going to ignore her like we have been doing to each other and that was honestly the best thing to have done. Now that i spoke to her i don't think i will be able to refrain myself from doing so today.

"Well i am not the one who tried to steal the other answers" she said confidently with a smirk as thought what she wrote could be called an anwer

"I will better copy from a 6th grader than from you" i didn't know why i was still talking to her but seeing her get annoyed with every syllable which crosses my lips made me happy

"Whatever you say, now let me finish" she said and looked back down at her paper to end the conversation, but i didn't want to

"Your anwers are wrong. You are still at number 3 and they are 10 questions you won't be able to answer them all"

"Tell me something i don't know" she frowned

"Well i can help you with the answers" i said and her head snapped to look at my eyes, she looked confused that i was willing to help her but it wasn't for free

"Really? Why would you?"

"Well it is not for free"

"Ha! You devi- ms Murphy who are you communicating with" Mr Alexander asked of course Emily was being too loud. And it was pretty obvious that she was communicating with me so why make a show about it?

"Um no one, i was...talking to m-my conscience. Yes, i was talking to my conscience about the answers" she said with this wide smile which made her teeths visible. It was frustratingly stupid and cute at the same time.

"Well concentrate you are left with 10 more minutes" She nodded and looked back at her papers, when mr. Alexander looked back at his book she looked back at me.

"Okay i accept your help" she said. If this was any normal test she wouldn't mind failing but this wasn't

'If you fail this test you won't be graded in this subject for your mid term exam so do your best' he had said before distributing the test papers and off course nobody wanted to fail this was our final year we had to do our best, pass every mid term and term exams and of course the finals. I pass my test paper who was behind my hand next to hers so she could copy. We weren't left with a lot of time so she huried

Thankfully by the time the teacher asked us to hand back the sheets she was done, i just hoped she copied the right thing.When the class ended we had to leave for our next class before break. Thankfully that will leave me sometime to think about what i want, so i stood to leave, she gave me a confused look.

"Meet me at the library during break" i said and she looked even more confused as though she thought that this was a plan for me to kill her. Well our family hated each other even though what i felt for her wasn't particularly hate but more like disgust i could never envisage to kill anyone.

"Don't make that face, you look uglier than you are"
