Alex Rider

Chapter 6

Alex got out with k-unit still laughing like there is no tomorrow. Alex took his bags and waited for wolf to open the door. "So which one is my room?"

"The the the one beside the room that is directly in front of the top of the stairs. On the left hand side." Fox said while laughing and gasping for air. Alex walked up and after unpacking, he came back down with his laptop bag, a stack of thick books and pencil case. He placed the things he brought down at the table. He walked to k-unit and in a few seconds, all of them are on the ground groaning in pain. Alex smiled as that shut them up for now. Alex then help them all up. "I can't believe a lady just asked you out!" Wolf said. "Shut up wolf." Alex said as he playfully punched wolf, which kinda hurts. Alex walked to the table and sat down. He took out his laptop and opened it. K-unit stared at him questioningly as he opened one of his books and started doing the questions. "What are you doing?" Wolf asked as they crowd behind him, looking at the book. It's filled with equations and formulas and complicated stuff that should not even be understood by a 13 year old. "Homework." Alex replied while still writing. Soon half the page was filled with words and his workings. "Can I see the cover?" Eagle said having a feeling that it's not what secondary school students are learning. Alex stopped writing and he closed the book for them to see the cover. Their jaws dropped to the floor and if it can fall any further, it would. The book is used in university. Why is he using university textbook? "My teacher thinks I am too smart and I got bumped up. And the process repeated until I was bumped into university and I can't go any higher so I am doing degrees."

"So how do u know this guy named Tom?"

"Oh. That? While being bumped into year 10, I was in his class. He, Sarah, Katie and James-also known as the Insane 4- are the only ones that doesn't really care about my age. The other girls in the class? They only like me for my looks and my knowledge. The other boys hate me like shit."

"Oh! So does the university girls like you as well?"

"Don't remind me about it."
