Bring Your A Game Mr Chapter 59

She’s Elise!

Elise was calm as ever as she hummed in affirmation, but Riley, on the other hand, was rather overwhelmed. “You’re, like, beyond amazing. You have no idea how much I look up to you. I never thought I’d actually get to become roommates with you! I go to Cloverfield High, which is next door, by the way.”

“Okay, can we save the chit-chat for later? Elise, you have to help me out with those questions from the test!” Samantha was a little antsy as she dragged Elise toward the desk.

Riley interjected when she heard this. “Are you guys going through the questions? Mind if I join in?”

Following this, the three girls huddled over the desk, and Elise went about explaining the questions from earlier. By the end of the session, even Samantha—who had looked clueless throughout the entire test—managed to wrap her head around the questions.

Riley, on the other hand, gained new understandings as well. “I went through countless workings, and my answers came out different each time. For a minute I thought I’d messed up somewhere in the calculation, but as it turns out, I was using the wrong method all along.”

“Elise, is there another approach we could use for this question?” Samantha pressed.

Elise glanced at the question and said slowly, “Well, yes… but I don’t recommend the other approach because of how complicated it is.”

Just as they were discussing this, Amanda walked in on them. At the sight of the three girls gathered by the desk, she drawled sourly, “How pretentious.”

Riley had never met or heard of Amanda before this, but she wondered how anyone could sound so unfriendly from the get-go. Riley shot her a frown, a little peeved by her hostile demeanor.

Meanwhile, Samantha simply ignored Amanda. Instead, she tugged on Elise’s arm and said, “Why don’t we go over a couple more questions before we call it a day, Elise?”

More than happy to oblige, Elise quipped, “Sure.”
