CHAPTER 3

Months came and it's kinda normal to me. Nothing new and anything else happened. After that incident, the three of us and Alexa left, but this brother of his continues to show elegance in class.

"Mr. Tan and Mr. Dela Torre. I want you both to come with me later in Deans Office. And also while I'm hoping for them for Magna Cum laude and Summa Cum laude. I hope all of you run as Cum laude." Our prof said and look at the both of us.

"Yes ma'am." We all promise.

"Ofcourse, for sure I'm the Summa cum laude here."

He proudly promised by my side.

"Tss."

"Who's Summa Cum laude are you talking to, Ma'am Santiago?" I said while looking to my prof.

They all turned to me so prof also smiled.

"Isn't it obvious? Of course it's you."

"NO FUCKING WAY!" Rant by alexander.

"No fucking way ?!" Ma'am asked.

"Yes fucking way ma'am. I deserve it."

"No! I deserve it." He said once again in front of him.

"Grrrr ..." we stared at each other until we felt that someone was begging us.

"It's up to you who will be the summa or magna. As long as you all have awards." After ma'am said I just sat in annoyance.

"Jayden .."

"Hmmm ?" I look at her.

"You're both cute ayieee .."

"Tss.. disgusting. For sure i'm more big than his HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA." I laughed with laughter. Not all macho are huge like him. His thing is small HAHAHHAHAHA.

"Can you share to us why are you laughing Mr. Tan?" Damn. I am in class.

"Heh. loser." He whispered.

"Well. I'm quite a bit curious about your question. Can you repeat it again ma'am?" I smile. I can do it i swear HAHA.

"Ohh .. okay. There are 50 bikes, each with a tank that holds enough gas to go 100 km. Using these 50 bikes, what is the maximum distance that you can go?" She asked.

"350 km." I answered quickly. I looked at alexander but he just smiled at me. Tsk. As if you know the answer HAHA.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes.. You might initially think of just making a simple multiplication of the number of bikes and capacities. But remember each has 100 km capacity and they are all in the same place. You could set all 50 bikes off but they'd all only travel 100 km.Now, one solution would be to move all bikes 50 km.Then empty half the bikes' fuel tanks into the other to fill them up.Keep doing this until you have 1 bike with a full tank to finish the trek. Of course, you'll have the odd bike stranded when dividing odd numbers. This way you'll get the last bike of the 50 to have traveled 350 km in total. " When I said that, I sat down.

"Woah. That's nice. Just don't laugh in the middle of the class Mr. Tan so we won't be surprised. I thought you're not listening to me."

"Oh sorry. It won't happen again."

"Tss. NERDY.."

"Tsk. Stupid." I said.

He thinks so badly that I have to avoided him. I might get hit in no time eh haha.

"No matter what is it you're still are really smart." Rea said to me.

"Of course not." I promise rea.

"Eh. Jayden you are ao humble. Later on to the mall."

"Yeah."

"So another question for you guys."

"I'm gonna voluteer." Alexander promised. Here we ho again. Alexander acting like a brainy.

"If you had an infinite supply of water and a 5 liter and 3 liter bucket, how would you measure exactly 4 liters? The buckets do not have any intermediate markings."

"..you can answer now Mr. Dela torre." The arrogant Alexander stood up.

"A lot of wasted water. As you can see You may already know the answer or have worked it out, but we are obliged to give you an answer. Fill the 5 liter bucket first. Then using that bucket fill the 3 liter bucket, being careful not to spill any. This leaves 2 liters in the 5 liter bucket. Now chuck away the water in the 3 liter bucket and refill with the remaining 2 liters from the bigger bucket. Once again, fill the 5 liter bucket and then use this fill the second 3 liter bucket. This will leave you with 4 liters in the 5 liter bucket. Simple! " He said and sat down.

"He's right. I don't need to explain because he did it already. The riddles i am asking is to know how your brains really working. That two answered my question. I hope some of you answer me this time."

"What are you now." He smiled.

"Alexander i'm still human." I proudly said to him.

I like to tease him always.. He's like a dragon when he is mad.

"Get ready for me later." He madly said.

"All right, I'm already mentally ill." I said.

"Class dismissed." My prof said.

"Lessgo."

"Yeah.."

Well her riddles is all about engineering task. If you can't answer that question. Why are you an engineer? We are here to learn. I mean we choose this course to succeed our goals, so try to make more serious in it.

"By the way jayden can you still talk to alexa?"

"Nope. But sometimes I can talk to her in IG."

"I see."

"Wassup ..." Jason said.

"Hey / Monkey!" Rea and I said at the same time.

The three of us laughed and walked away. As we walked there were others smiling and there were also greetings. Not to brag but I am really known here because i am running for Magna Cum laude and hehe I am always Ateneo's defense at another University even though I am only in my second year that teachers always say here.

That's why Alexander talked to about us because of that. He wants my position as hell.

"Where are we gonna go?"

"Mall." Rea promised and yeah she annoyed to Jason.

Hahahaha they're always like that. The two are always at loggerheads.

"Jayden." Exactly when I said that I turned around.

"Alexa."

"Can I come this time?"

"Well, maybe your older brother will hit Jayden again." Rea frown.

"No .. I promise." She smiled.

"Okay." I smile.

I know.. From now on.. my story will be more meaningful.

I don't even want to think I know something strange is coming.

Whether it is good or bad, it will come and go for me.
