Maths
Tiara had never understood maths (or as they called it on this side of the Atlantic 'math').
And she wasn't used to not understanding things.
Another she wasn't used to: Jimmie Zara being better than her at anything (apart from things like basketball but like they even counted).
But when it came to maths Jimmie was definitely better than her. It was a shock to just about everyone but Jimmie Zara turned out to be brilliant at maths: so good in fact that his teacher had asked him to tutor other students.
That was how Tiara ended up here, in a small maths classroom, after school when she should have been rehearsing for the drama club's next musical, listening to Jimmie Zara explaining linear sequences in a smug way, as if he was relishing the fact that he was telling Tiara Gould what to do (which he probably was).
"So, do you understand it now?" Jimmie asked.
Tiara stared at the seemingly random collection of numbers on the page in front of her. She felt she understood quantum physics better but she wasn't going to let Jimmie know that. "Um, yeah," she lied.
"Great!" Jimmie exclaimed smugly. "Not so know it all now, are we?" Tiara wondered if she had taken the wrong approach. "So, I guess you can do exercise 4 now, right?"
"Um, right," Tiara agreed. She bent over the textbook and pretended to be intent on solving the maths problems, although she knew she had more chance of solving world hunger.
From the corner of her eye she could see Jimmie staring at her earnestly. Oh, God, she thought, he's checking me out.
Now she understood why Jimmie had been so keen to tutor her.
