Chapter 007 Kevin“Kevin, what does the Pythagorean theorem state?” Mr. Choi asked me “The Pythagorean theorem states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other squares.” I answered. I look around to find like ten girls staring at me, including Hyorin. I smiled back and sat down. “Good. Now, I will be handing you back the pre tests you took on the first day of school. Some scores were very impressive and some were very poor. Depending on your test scores I will be telling you whether you're in 10th grade math or the AP classes.” Mr Choi said. He went around the room to give the tests back. I look around the room, I saw many shocked faces. Mr Choi came to me. “Congratulations Kevin, you got the highest score of this class.” He said smiling at me. He handed me my test. I got a 98%. I felt really happy. I look back at the teacher who was in the front of the room by now.  “Ok if you passed you are officially in the AP class. To remind you passing is 80% of up.” He exclaimed. I look back to Hyorin and she looked very happy. The teacher handed our schedule for the kids going to AP math. All the students left after the bell rang. The teacher pulled me back. “Kevin, I recommend you to go to Namsan Math Competition.” You may pick one other person to do the competition with you.” He told me. “You will be going against the best math student in my other class. He got the same grade you did.” “Yes, sir.” I said. I spot Hyorin at her locker. I walked over to her and talked to her. “So…..you happy about your score?” I asked “Yeah….I could have done better though. Anyways congratulations for getting the highest score of the class!” She said smiling at me. She was just right there in front of me. I wanted to hug her but I held back.  “Oh, thanks!” I replied. The bell rang. We went to our own separate classes.    The school day was over. Hyorin and I were getting all our stuff from our lockers. “You know, you're very smart.” She said.  “Thanks! You are too!” I said smiling “I mean like…..um….uh…..would you like to tutor me? In like math or something?” She said quietly with looking up at me. “Oh..sure...um we can start when you want to okay?” I replied. Then all of a sudden, Myungsoo comes up to Hyorin. “Annyeonghaseyo Hyorin! How did you do on your pretest?” He asked “Oh um…..good I guess. I’m having Kevin tutor me since he got a high grade.” She replies. “Ah jinja?” He said facing me. “Hey pretty boy, what did you get?” “It doesn’t matter what I got.” I told him. “Come on Hyorin, let’s go! I’ll drive you.” I said smiling. “Yah! I can tutor Hyorin too! Right?” Myungsoo said “Oh….um.” I hear Hyorin say in a small voice. “Stop it!” I said. I held Hyorin’s shoulders and said “You can pick who you want to tutor you okay?” I smiled at her and let go. I turned around and kept walking. “Um….I’ll see you later Myungsoo.” I heard her. She came running toward me and we went home.    “So um…..” She said. “Yes?” I answered “Um….actually, nevermind.” She replied “Do you need anything? Want a snack or something? If you want we could go get some food.” I said. I looked at her, her expression seemed worried. I tried to comfort her but I don’t think it worked. “Here, i’ll let you be alone for a while. If you need anything, i’ll be in the kitc~” I got cut off. She grabbed my hand. “No.” She said.
