Amanda's POV
"So if Sodium is to be electroplated, what metal do you think should be used based on reactivity?"
"Another reactive metal?" I ask unsure
"Likeee?"
"Potassium?" Oh God that better be right
Toke bangs the table in excitement
"Correct!!! Now why is it potassium and not calcium, it's also reactive you know" Toke smirks as if to test my confidence
I read this thing yesterday now I should remember
"Uhm cos potassium is the only metal higher than sodium in the reactivity series" I let out in a breath
Toke bangs her pen on the table earning looks from the entire library. She folds her arms as she leans back on her chair smirking
"You see? You're not a total disappointment" she flips her hair over her shoulder
I blush a little from her 'compliment' then she returns to her usual Stony expression. Toke and I have been in Sheffield's library since 8 o'clock on a very cold Friday morning for three hours since we both have the first half of Friday free from classes . I am very sure I look like I jumped off a moving train because this girl practically dragged me from the assembly, to my locker and then to the library not even allowing me to stop and greet some certain people. Toke on the other hand isn't even breaking a sweat, she has her loosened long, black and silky virgin hair packed in a low bun and a single big braid falling on her face with her edges neatly laid. Her perfect lips never lack moisture and today is not an exception, her lip gloss always glows but is never too much, how does she do it?? To top it up she has her school white shirt, skirt, tie, sleeveless cardigan and her blazer over it unbuttoned, someone define class!
"We have 10 days till tests, one correct answer doesn't ace your tests" Toke says, dampening the mood as usual. She continues
"It's not even about you failing, it's about MY reputation. Almost all the senior school teachers know about me tutoring you so if you flunk, I have failed"
Ouch that hurt
"I'll try my best" I mutter
"Your best?" She scoffs "your best is not a standard, you have to ace these tests, you WILL ace these tests"
Her voice comes out low and scary when she talks. For a moment I don't realize she's referring to me. Toke might mean well, but she really has a weird way of showing her love. I appreciate all the time she spends teaching me and for the first time, even though for a few seconds, she made me feel good about myself. Like I actually have some brain power
"That'll be all for today, if you have any questions studying during the weekend pretend you don't have my number and keep the question till Monday, T for thanks" she gets up dusting imaginary dust from her skirt. She picks her books
"You can only succeed if you give yourself the permission" she exits the library without waiting for a reply

"Goallllll" a part of the arena erupts in loud cheers for their team
When the bell was rang for extra curricular activities we were told to move to the football field if we didn't have any other engagements. Since the coach said we were starting officially on Monday I decided to go with the rest of the crowd. The SS2 students just scored an opening goal against the SS3 students, I am definitely rooting for my class but these SS2 students are really good! Their dumb class girls are busy hooting and screaming and their high pitched shrieks are really getting on my nerves.
