Be long gone

Chapter twenty-five

Location: The Gates Residence (Adam's POV)

Adam's POV

"Thank goodness you made it here without a scratch," I said waving my hands like I was singing the Alleluia chorus

"I'd love if you don't bother me Adam Gates" She stated

"I was just teasing"

"Are you the only one at home?" She inquired

"Yeah, my Parents traveled" I responded

"Okay. Let's get started" She stated

" I knew you were going to say something like that. Chill girl" I pronounced

"Time is life, the earlier we start....."

"I know, I know" I interrupted her

That's what my dad always says.

"Give up and let's revise. I can't let my grades suffer" She expressed

"Okay, this way to my room" I lead the way

"Okay" She appended following me

**********************************************

"Okay, we've gone through the hormones and the kidney. Do you fully understand Homeostasis in the liver?" I inquired

"Just a little, not fully" She answered

Yes, finally, there's something she doesn't understand perfectly. I'm not saying this in a bad way, I mean, she knows almost everything so it's strange she doesn't understand something. She is a full-time nerd, always studying even during the weekend. She's not like other nerds in the sense of her social life. She's current with recent world happenings, sociable, funny, she doesn't use glasses, and she's different generally. Most nerds are with spectacles, ponytails and have a poor social life but she's the 21st-century badass nerd. Instead of wearing sweaters, jeans, socks, glasses that typical nerds wear, she wears crop tops sweater with jeans, tank tops, bandanas, sneakers. There's just something spectacular about her and she's a great friend. She may seem proud and bossy sometimes but she has a cool side

Back to the project

"I'll explain and you can ask me questions if you need clarification. The liver is the largest internal organ in the body. It's at the right part of the stomach. It works along the Pancreas which secretes Insulin. The liver performs functions like secretion of bile, detoxification of products, the formation of red blood cells, and vitamin B12. It maintains a water-salt level in the body. Insulin converts excess glucose to glycogen and vice-versa..................................."

Five minutes after

"Do you understand?" I enquired

"Yeah, thanks a lot" She responded

Of course, a sharp brain, quick to understand and grab things.

"We're left with the brain and the skin" I declared

"I need a break" She stated

"I was just about to say that" I added

"Won't you offer me something to eat or drink?" She asked

"My bad" I declared and left

I'm not used to having people around except Richard. Speaking of Richard, I've not seen him lately. he has probably buried his head in shame. I won't make the first move by putting a call across to him, he needs to retrace his steps and come back to his senses.
