She mocked his head tilt before responding, “Because then it’s not as fun anymore.” Ivan pouted in her direction. “For you.” He pointed out. She shrugged before saying sarcastically, “We as in me, myself, and I.” Ivan grinned at her before flirting slightly, “Ah, my three favorite people. How could I forget?”
She chuckled as he refused her help, which only deepened his blush-he hated this so much. Still, she allowed him to work in peace-not insisting on helping him. Though, she did raise a brow at him-as if she didn’t really believe he could do it. This did motivate him more-he wanted to wipe that doubt off of her face. Though, even if he did solve the problem properly, she probably wouldn’t be too impressed-as this was his third try. He leaned back slightly as she hovered over his paper to see his final answer. He couldn’t see her expression, but as she reached for a red pen, he knew he hadn’t gotten it right. He watched as the problem was written for the fourth time, and solved fairly quickly-well, much quicker than Ivan had solved it. Ah, so that’s how you do it… He thought, as he watched-his expression a mixture of curiosity and envy. “Leaves you with a decimal,” Aidene explained, as she circled her answer. “Just round it to the nearest tenth…so approximately 5.2.” She set down her pen triumphantly, while Ivan glowered. “You were really off.” Ivan glared at nothing in particular-he didn’t want to be mean to her just because she was good at math while he wasn’t. “Well, there you have it, something you’re better at than me,” He griped, remembering their conversation from yesterday in which Aidene promised to find something she was better at than Ivan. He wasn’t angry, but his ego was definitely bruised. “Have you looked into getting tutored?” Aidene teased. Ivan chuckled, trying to ease back into his overconfident self. “Nah, I don’t need a tutor. I would’ve gotten 5.2 eventually.” He said casually, resting his hands atop his baseball cap.
