"So. Many. Numbers. How on earth does anyone expect us to remember any of this stuff?...".
I  studied the problem on the board while adjusting my glasses for a clearer view.
"I mean! I can barely even remember what I had for diner last night..."
I punched a few buttons on the calculator and scribbled on a piece of paper next to me.
"Literally, I would rather run a 5k on glass in the desert, in the SUMMER than do this!"
I erased the few mistakes I had made and carefully corrected them. Pleased with my work, I smiled and raised my hand.
Mrs. Park scanned the room and smiled when she saw me raising my hand.
"Collin".
The whole class groaned and some people even made a few rude comments not worth repeating.
"Is the answer 48.5? Excuse me, 47.5?" I asked. Although, it wasn't much of a question. I always got the knew I was right.
"Yes, right as usual! come on guys, you can't keep letting Collin do all the heavy work. Start answering some questions!" Mrs. parks exclaimed.
I turned to Rae who was mindlessly devouring her left over potato chips in algebra class.
"I just don't understand, she started with a mouthful." She swallowed and continued. "How someone can be this good at math, are you even real?".  I chuckled.
"Rae, some people just get it and others don't. It's not that big of a deal. I'm just naturally smart and you're naturally...".
"Beyonce" she finished.
I smiled.
"There ya go." I patted her on the back. I turned to pack up my things getting ready for my next class.
"Some people are also naturally freaks".
I rolled my eyes knowing exactly who I was going to face when I turn around.
"Well, good afternoon to you too Bri." I said sarcastically while raising my eyebrows and giving a slight nod. Bri. Stands for Bratty, rude and irritating. Bri and her whole squad were surrounding Rae and I, as they do every morning.
"Some people are also skanky pigs who should probably start thinking about shaving under there." Said Rae sassily while making a disgusted face and pointing to Bri's underarms. Bri gasped and quickly pulled her sleeves farther down.
"How dare you? Rae. What kind of name is Rae anyway? God you are both so annoying. Didn't you know there is a no freak policy at our school."
"Haha Bri you are so funny. Your insults smell worse than you. Come back when you want to be original and stop acting like we're in middle school, okay? Okay! Toodles!".
Rae grabbed me by the arm and led me out of the classroom.
