Chapter 4: Study, study, study
Exams were coming. I got myself so stressed up and nervous that I nearly broke down. Look at the amount we were supposed to study and you will know how I feel. Although exams were still weeks away, I felt that there was not enough time to finish study all of the books. Luckily, Syaoran suggested that we should study together so that we will not feel so stressed up. Relief washed over me.
As a good friend, I invited Lauren and Jo. To my happiness, they agreed. We started our revision on Thursday when all of us need not stay back. But firstly, I introduced Syaoran to Lauren. After that, we started off with maths, my worst subject.
To my amazement, I discovered that Syaoran is a true maths genius. I haven't noticed this back in Japan. Well, I guess I was too occupied with my academic life to realize this. Anyway, he could do a very difficult sum in less than a minute! The three of looked at him with our mouths open.
As Syaoran had to meet his dad to go for dinner. I went home with Jo and Lauren.
"Hey Sakura, your friend is such a genius! How lucky of you to have such a friend," Jo remarked.
"I didn't know till today, though," I said.
"Really?" Jo asked, looking surprised.
I nodded my head.
"Sakura, are you sure that you and Li are just best friends?" Lauren asked teasingly. There goes again, Lauren and her "assumptions".
"Yes," I said firmly, rolling my eyes at Lauren.
"Well, according to my experience, when a boy and a girl are best friends, there will always be something more to it in the future." Lauren said wittily.
"Whatever," I said, feeling annoyed.
"Oh, Lauren," Jo said with a tone of resentment.
