storytime: the math competition
Did anyone else’s school have a math competition when you get out of primary then another when you get out of middle school a final competency for high school. It’s just friendly competition, doesn’t affect anything else at all and like the best students would compete and be put into random teams of 4.
Well I had one and somehow I managed to land myself in the competition even though I’m like horrible at math, I barely made it last year or at least I thought I barely made it by it ended up being my highest grade on the report card and I have no idea how. So I got put on this team where I knew no one else and we started the competition. We were going through the questions and I wasn’t really doing much because they were doing good on their own- I did help out tho I’m not gonna be that person- so I was occasionally able to help and we were doing alright, a few questions wrong but no biggie. Until one question and they were solving it and all agreeing on the wrong equation, and so I butt in like “no you’ve got it all wrong, you’re doing it wrong guys” and they’re like “omg Sprinkle if you’re not gonna be helpful then just shut up, it’s 3 against one why are you even here?” What a bitch, I hate that girl with every cell in my body. So I was like “fine, if my help isn’t wanted, I guess I’ll sit down and do nothing.” They ended up being wrong and I was right and they lost the competition without me. Serves them right.
