He’s the only person for whom it’s worth going toe-to-toe with our AP Statistics teacher, who’s currently gaping at me like he can’t believe my hand is in the air first thing first period before he’s even had the chance to start Friday’s lesson.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIan sits all the way in the front row, wavy black hair styled into a pompadour that I can grudgingly admit doesn’t look totally terrible. He’s probably freaking out and trying to correct the questions he got wrong on our just-returned homework. In that respect, we’re the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe hasn’t turned around yet. But he will.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI wiggle my fingers to get the teacher’s attention, lifting my butt off the seat to be noticed. After a long, drawn-out moment of watching me flail, Mr. Gage unsuccessfully turnshis grimace into a smile. Closing his eyes, he says, “Yes, Kavya? Do you have a question?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomehow? lingers like a stink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA few titters break out from those awake enough to get on my bad side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIan stiffens, shoulders snapping extra straight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI’ve got his attention now.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“You docked me points for question number three,” I say. “My answer’s correct.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMr. Gage’s round glasses seem to magnify his absolute displeasure. “No.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA unilateral no? Taken aback, I gawk. “But I—”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“We have a lot of material to get through today, so if I could get started?” He pauses as though he’s really waiting for my go-ahead. The exaggerated politeness makes me think he’s given up all pretense of not finding me the most annoying junior he’s ever had the misfortune of teaching z-scores and chi-squares.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNext to me, my best friend Blaire Tyler shuffles to the back of her stats textbook, where the answers to odd-numbered questions are provided. She slides it across the table to nudge against my arm, tapping her black-and-silver constellation nail against question three.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOkay, yes, the back of the book, dubbed our beloved “BOB,” has half the answers all the time, but I checked my work twice, and I choose to put my faith in me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithout raising my hand, I say, “Mr. Gage, I showed my work. There’s no way I got the question wrong. Could you please work it out on the board?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This is not one-on-one tutoring, Ms. Joshi,” he says without looking up from his notes. “Now if everyone would please turn their attention to the linear regression on the whiteboard.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShut down twice in as many minutes. That’s a record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo one’s looking at me anymore, but my face still burns with embarrassment and the flame of indignation Mr. Gage didn’t manage to extinguish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI’ve never had a teacher this adamantly bullheaded in their own wrongness. They don’t need to like me as long as they respect me for being right. I’m willing to bet that he hasn’t even tried to solve the problem himself, relying wholly on his answer guide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParker Ellis, the boyfriend I’m planning to dump, sniggers from the row behind me. My spine stiffens with a flicker of foreboding. It’s not the first time he’s found my standoff with Mr. Gage amusing, but he usually does a better job of hiding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlaire leans in to whisper, the small lavender beads at the end of her honey braids gently clinking. “Hey, fuck him. It’s just one point. You can let it go.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI fix her with a look. She’s known me how long, now?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“But you’re not going to,” she acknowledges with a sigh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy pencil scratches against notepaper as I work out the answer again, joining the soft background drone of twenty-nine other pencils trying to keep up with Mr. Gage’s speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“What answer did you put?” I mutter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlaire shoots a furtive look up front before saying, “I got the same answer you did, but I changed it when I checked the back.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Why did you do that? You had the right answer.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Like you did?” She chin-nods toward the red ink slash across the third question. “Kavs, it’s one point. You still got an A on the assignment. Even if you’re right and he’s wrong, and the book’s wrong, and everyone else in the thousands of classrooms using this textbook got it wrong, it’s not worth the fight for one measly point.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI begrudge so much that she’s right, but letting this point go means letting Ian Jun win. If I think real hard, squinting back the last five years, I can almost remember a world in which I wasn’t constant and bitter rivals with the boy in the first row who has only now, finally, turned to raise one perfectly arched What now? eyebrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt’s that eyebrow that does it. The smug assurance that I’m going to keep my mouth shut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“When it comes to Ian, a point is never just a point.” I forget to keep my voice low, hissing the words while keeping my eyes unblinkingly fastened on Ian the whole time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Ms. Joshi,” says Mr. Gage without turning around. “Why don’t you come up here where I can keep an eye on you?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnother unmistakable laugh from Parker, but when I whip around to catch him in the act, he blanks me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Oooo, you’re in trouble,” one of the boys from the back row says with a snicker.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI hover expectantly in my seat, waiting for the teacher to call him out, too, but nada.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSorry, Blaire mouths, big brown eyes full of sympathy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI slowly rise. My neck and arms prickle with the knowledge that the entire class is watching. Some with compassion, most with glee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe acute humiliation of picking up all my things—the lavender Sailor Moon pencil pouch stuffed with cherry Jolly Rancher hard candies that I won’t dare to crinkle in this class, the pink Texas Instruments scientific calculator, the battered textbook, and the spiral-bound notebook—and dragging myself to the front row all under Mr. Gage’s watchful eye is bad enough. The indignity of moving to the front row with Ian watching is a new low.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe’s not smirking anymore, but he hasn’t taken his eyes off me, either. Like a big cat stalks its prey. It’s not the first time I’ve thought of his dark, sooty lashes, glowing-ember brown eyes, and pointy-tipped ears as being particularly lynx-like. The arched slash of his still-raised brow as he tracks me completes the impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Not there, Ms. Joshi,” says the teacher when I settle into an empty seat at the end of the row. He points to a middle seat. “There.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe seat right next to Ian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA flash of malice crosses Mr. Gage’s face. “Now you can be the center of attention.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThroat closing tight, I force my feet into another walk of shame, squeezing myself between the backs of chairs and the row of desks behind. Ian’s the only one who scoots his chair in for me to pass. His eyebrow lowers at the same moment as I do. My shame and I sink into the cold hard plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEven after the teacher faces the whiteboard again, marker squeaking out numbers, I can’t concentrate enough to take notes. It’s the last Friday before the last week of school, and as a rising senior, I should be content to take it easy and glide, ignoring trifling matters like one point, but the very thought of it settles over me like sandpaper: itchy and uncomfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy is it so commonly accepted to wind down at the end of something? Shouldn’t this be the time to finish strong instead of coasting?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Why are you so quiet, Jun?” I whisper. “Don’t tell me you have the same answer as the back of the book.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Trust me, I have the right answer,” he whispers right back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRestraining my snort is a Herculean effort. Yeah, right. If he got the same answer I did, there’s no way he isn’t making his case with Mr. Gage. And since most of our teachers like the school’s golden boy more than they like me, he’ll probably win, too. Even when he reigns number one at literally everything, he’s the kind of person who nobody takes affront with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcept for me, that is. The girl who’s the defending champ.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere’s a glint of amusement in his eyes. “What? I do.” He flashes his paper at me and then tucks it away in his folder too fast to see anything, but I bet it’s an infuriating 100 percent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI cross my arms and swivel my torso to face the front. Each hard tick of the wall clock is a reminder that class is going to be over in thirty-five minutes, and if it’s hard getting Mr. Gage to give me the time of day now, Monday will be even more futile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe teacher turns around, marker uncapped, the move bringing a fresh assault of migraine-inducing chemicals my way. “Any que—”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy hand shoots into the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis entire expression says you again? He rubs his temples, scanning the entire room to make sure there’s no one else he can call on first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy arm starts to ache, but I keep it insistently up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHis fingers whiten around the marker. “Fine. Yes. What.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This isn’t about the exercise on the board, it’s about last night’s homework and I can show you if—actually, can I have that?” I strain forward to snatch the marker out of his hand, and instead of going around, I launch myself over the table, and go straight for the whiteboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI think I’ve actually rendered him speechless, because his hand stays gripped, frozen in midair, while I send the marker squealing, working out the problem for the fifth time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“She’s totally shameless,” someone says in a scandalized nonwhisper I’m absolutely meant to hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI set my teeth and get on with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI’m not like Ian, who gets away with writing in ballpoint because he never has to go back to make corrections. I erase with far too much abandon, and Mr. Gage doesn’t accept work that’s been scribbled out or in any way untidy. He claims it’s because of his poor eyesight, which may be true, but I think he’s just trying to dock points wherever he can.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo it’s with great relief that I don’t need to erase anything to reach the answer, which is most definitely not the same one in the teacher’s answer manual or the back of our textbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI half expected Mr. Gage to not even pay attention, but he’s following my work, forehead lined and eyes squinted. And when he sighs, all gusty and exasperated, I know I have him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“All right,” he says, cupping his hand into a come-here gesture. “Everyone send your assignments to the front. I’ll regrade and you can grab them at the start of our next class.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Thanks a lot, Kavya,” Parker calls to me, a bite in his voice. “I just lost my A.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYeah, I’m not even sorry about that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere’s a few more grumbles, and I feel bad for a second that I cost Blaire her point, too, but when she flashes me a thumbs-up, I know she doesn’t hold it against me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy victory is only slightly dimmed by having to share my hard-won bounty. But it’s offset with the knowledge that if my assignment is going up a point, Ian’s so-called right answermeans he’s going down one. Mr. Gage isn’t one of those if-it’s-my-fault-you-can-keep-the-points teachers; he’s equal-opportunity punitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“It’s too bad you don’t get to keep your perfect score,” I gloat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Actually, I do.” With a smirk, Ian turns to collect the papers making their way forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy stomach flip-flops. Oh, how nauseating. Only YA love interests and the hot cast from The Vampire Diaries smirk as much as he does. Ian’s is more Katherine than Damon, though.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI grit my teeth. “Oh, really? Clearly math isn’t your strong suit, but how do you figure?”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe pulls his own paper free to add to the top of the pile. I almost choke on air.
