Ch-4 Alice Excels in Everything Except One!

After that day, Thomas, sort of changed! He became very…polite! But one person of our gang had a very, very big crush on Alice. You must be wondering who? His name is … Donald! Yep, that's right. Donald of all the boys! And even Alice knew it and she also had a crush on Donald! They used to go out together saying 'To take a walk in the moonlight' even though it was afternoon.

One day we had nothing to do and our mothers' allowed us to go and have ice-creams in the nearby shop. While on the way Willy asked Thomas 'Why have you become so polite when Alice is around?' Thomas replied 'Because she saved my dog and I owe her one'

Then while we were eating our ice-creams Alice suggested 'We could play a quiz!' 'No thanks' said Ronald. 'We WILL play a quiz' said Donald. Then everybody turned their head because they all knew what was coming. The sound which they were expecting came and everybody looked back again. 'Ok, I guess, we'll play the quiz' 'Whose going to conduct it?' asked Anna. 'I will' said Alice.

Then again we came back to Blue Sun Apartments and started playing the quiz. The team was me, Philip, Donald and Anna and we called ourselves "The Geniuses" Nice name right? The opponent team was Thomas, Ronald, Dick and Willy and they called themselves "The Black Thunders". 'First question, who is the Greek God of Magic?' Donald and I were the first ones to raise our hands. 'Donald, please say the answer' Donald said 'Hecate', 'Correct, 10 points to The Geniuses' said Alice. 'Next question, do zebras have black stripes or white stripes?' Thomas said 'Black!' 'The answer is undefined' said Alice.

'Let us make a deal' said Anna 'We give you 10 points, now you try and beat us' After a while… 'Now the score is 100 to 10' said Alice. 'And you started with ten' giggled Anna.

'Now may I ask you a few questions Alice?' said Will and Alice accepted saying 'Fire away'. Will threw all types of questions about technology but Alice answered them all, then Thomas said 'Can you dance as well as Anna?' even though Anna didn't know how to dance. Alice said 'If you come to my house I'll show you' but I said 'Ok, point proven' But Ronald asked her more and more questions about what she can do but she could do it all! Then he put a question 'Can you run as fast as me?' 'Let's see' said Alice. And we went to the playground.

'On your mark… get set… GO!' said Anna and the race began. Alice was running as fast she could but could not keep up with everybody else (we also participated except Anna who had hurt her leg) and Alice lost. 'I found it! I found out what Alice is not good at!' yelled Ronald. 'Big deal' said Alice.
