Chapter 103

• I sat in the library, two desks away from Uche as per his idea. He says he doesn't want to be a distraction considering the math competition coming up next week.
• I couldn't convince him that he wasn't a distraction because he in ,fact, was, but I loved that distraction. I shouldn't have let him sweet talk me into signing up for the competition; I don't even know what course to pick for college if we won the competition and were offered the promised scholarship.
• I stopped staring at the textbook in front of me and looked up to see Uche's head buried in his book, muttering to himself as he solved. It was my idea to read, but here he was doing just that, and I couldn't even find my book interesting anymore.
