The next school year Tobi and I were not
in many classes together. That's okay with
me, I thought. Tobi and I never do anything
together anymore anyway. In fact, the only
time I ever saw Tobi was when our families
gathered for picnics or birthdays. We still
had fun, but it wasn't the same as it used
to be.
Sometimes I felt as if a part of me was
missing, but most of the time I continued
doing the things I always did. I liked
school—particularly math. Some students
thought math was just impossible, but
I didn't. I could figure out most math
problems as easily as some people can
kick a soccer ball!
