"Sunnie! Bad news!" Naddie said as she sat at the seat beside me. I closed my book and looked at her. "What? Did Patrick Green dump you?"

"Patrick Green dumped m----! Wait, huh? How did you know?!"

"Magic." I simply said. "Let me guess, you told him you had MPD and he got creeped out."

She looked down at the table and stayed silent. Bingo. Im merely guessing though, since all of this seems a bit cliché.

"Maddie's fault isn't it?" I asked.

She nodded. "And I'm more depressed because I don't know who I should be angry at since Maddie is... me."

I patted her on the head. "I understand. That really sucks."
Hmm. Now I understand why she turned Saddie these past few days. Her MPD's really getting worse since her emotions never let her change characters before.

I looked out the window and my mood suddenly lifted up as I see it drizzling outside.

I feel Naddie stare at me as I'm distracted by the rain.

"Sunnie!" She called out, "How can you be happy when your friend's depressed over here?!" She got up and went to the door. "I'm going to the bathroom!" She added and ran out.

I'm left confused. "Why does it feel like I just got caught cheating?" I muttered to myself.

"---- Cause maybe you did."
I looked up to see who it was, only to see a classmate of mine, James Red.

What does this guy want? I barely know anything about him except for the fact the he's stupid and that he's popular with the feeling pretty but they look like a horse- type of girls.

"Weird." James said as he scratched his head. "Why does it feel like I just got insulted?"

"Cause maybe you did." I backfired.

He grinned. "Very funny Sunnie." He grabbed a chair, placed it in front of my table and sat down. "I'd love to joke around more, but I need your help with something."
He takes out a folded paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and showed me his math test.

My eyes widened, "2 over 50 on basic algebra?! Are you stupid?!" I let out. Woops. I said too much

His face turned pink, probably my fault, "That's the thing. They'll let me take a retest next week and if I still fail, I'll flunk math. So, I need your help Sunnie, since you're the best at math in the whole class!"

My eyes twitched. "Best in the whole class? James, flattery won't get you anywhere. Besides, I suck at math." I coldly said and shrugged.

He frowned. "You got a perfect score on this test didn't you?"

.... Damn kid.

"Okay fine! Fine! Because I'm such a kind classmate, I'll teach you. But you better remember this cause you owe me a favor."

"Yes!" He exclaimed as he raised his fist.

I gave him my usual boring look. "Then, library, 4 o'clock sharp. Don't be late." I added and averted my attention to the window.

[ At the library... ]

"THIS IS THE TENTH FRICKIN' TIME JAMES!"

I shouted as I pointed at his mistake in his worksheet. "Didn't I tell you to use this damn formula for these numbers?! Why in Jesus' name, can't you follow simple instructions?! I can't eve----"

"SSSHHHHHH!" The librarian interrupted. She gave me a scary look and went back to reading her book. My face turned red as I notice that everyone has their eyes on me.
