My Bothersome Life
Chapter 36 - Reconciling with Alex
We ended up not talking to each other the next day as well. I hung out with Shelly and Ellen while Alex hung out with only Luke and Allan. It was like our small class of six people were split into two groups.
We didn't stay inside our room except for sleeping, because we knew we would run into each other. But strangely, near the end of Sunday, I saw Shelly and Alex together talking about something seriously.
I got ready to sleep early tonight so that I could wake up early tomorrow for class. I couldn't wait to get rid of Alex, even though I had to be with Luke afterwards.
However, once I was about to head towards my bed, Alex stood in front of me blocking my pathway very awkwardly.
"Do you have something to say to me?" I asked annoyed.
"I apologize for my misunderstanding of the situation. I thought that you were the one that had the idea of going to the second district, but Michelle told me earlier today that it was her idea to go and that she couldn't tolerate all the blame going towards you anymore." Alex said while bowing his head.
"I also apologize for saying bad stuff about your family and your friend," I replied back to his genuine apology. Both Shelly and I had the idea to go to the second district equally, so it was still half my fault, but I didn't want to ruin this nice moment so I also apologized as well.
It was clear now we had repaired our relationship. We weren't that close to each other in the first place, meaning that we had many assumptions about each other in the past two weeks.
But, I was glad we were able to make up before this whole partner switching thing ended because it would be awkward to keep on avoiding each other.
********************
It was Monday today.
The teacher announced that I would be paired up with Luke again, while Ellen and Shelly exchanged partners with each other.
There was an exam tomorrow determining how I would live for the next few years in middle school. I saw Luke already unpacking his stuff, while I placed my stuff on top of the straw bed. Sigh. If I could, I didn't want to live like this anymore.
"Should we head towards the library?" I asked Luke.
Luke looked genuinely surprised by my question as he thought I didn't like his intense study sessions. Well, it was true I didn't like studying with Luke, but it brought good results. And I was tired of sleeping on a straw bed for the past month.
So we went to the library study room together and we spent over forty eight hours just cramming all the materials that I had to catch up to from the past month.
By the time it was morning, I felt that we could at least avoid getting minus points with losing a night's worth of sleep.
So when I finished all my exams, I was looking forward to the results unlike the previous times.
When the results came out, everyone looked utterly surprised except for Luke and I. Well that was rude!
The monitor displayed:
Helena and Alex: 100 000 points
Michelle and Allan: 90 000 points
"Rika didn't get any minus points this time!" Alex said while looking astonished.
"As expected of Luke!" Daniel praised Luke after he unfroze himself from the shock.
"..." Allan, Ellen and Shelly looked back at me wordlessly.
Was this really that surprising? You know we usually got a bit more than this amount of points in elementary school so you shouldn't get surprised!
