"It's the chlorine
in the water, it gives me some sort of rash under my swimming suit,"
Amy said.
"Only under the
swimming suit, cause the rest of her skin is so tough," Alex
said.
Amy laughed and I laughed
with them but I wasn't feeling too well about Amy's relationship with
her parents. It had seemed to be fine. Everything was great until she
befriended me. I wondered if I had that effect on people. If my
failing relationship with my mother was somehow contagious. I mean
Amy and Alex's relationship with their parents wasn't perfect in the
first place but they had somehow achieved some sort of ballance.
"Let's go back to
our reading," Amy said.
"No thank you,"
Alex answered, "I'm sure you're either going to get yourselves
sick or totally burned out with no chance of recovery."
"No way, organic
chemistry is so much fun," Amy answered.
Alex rolled his eyes and
left without saying anything else. He somehow had a point. Amy seemed
so happy with her reading, she really enjoyed it and I sort of envied
her for that. As we continued through our reading I was bored to
death. I couldn't help but yawning and yawing again as I struggled to
keep my eyes opened and drinking tea wasn't really helping much to
keep me awake. I sat up and straightened myself. I hated it. And that
was my own fault. Despite trying hard all through high-school and
reading extra books, nothing had really prepared me for this. The
book I was reading was way over my head. It was filled with unknown
concept. If I had been introduce to electromagnetism more gradually
that might have helped but it seemed to be a gap between my current
knowledge and what I was expecting from myself. Still I knew that the
only way to learn was to get through it. You can't possibly learn
anything by avoiding it.
