Chapter b58 /b

“You’re joking…right? There’s no way you’re serious…are you?i” /i

I put my pencil down and looked Casey directly in the eyes.

i“/iI’m not. I’ve been working on it for a few iyears/ii; /iiI’ve /iifinally /icreated ithe /iiperfect /iformbinationi./ii” /i

Casey could hardly believe his ears.

“For a few years?? You mean to tell me iyou’ve /ibeen iworking /ion ithis /iisince /iimiddle /iischool/ii?!/ii” /i

Middle sch…Oh yeah, I supposed that is what I’ll have to say.

“Yeah, iI /iiguess /isoi./i”

Casey stared at me in total disbelief, just this morning he’d thought this young girl–was just some

legacy kid riding off her parents‘ hype, turns out she may have surpassed even them.

i“/iira/ii, /iiyou’d /iitell /iime /iiif /iiyou /iiwere /iian /iialien/i…iright/ii?/ii” /i

WHAT!

I let out a loud and hystericalugh. Though it was understandable why he would think that, it

didn’t make his words any less hrious. Not wanting to freak Casey out anymore, I decided to give him an exnation about my research.

“I’m not an ialien /iiCasey/ii…/iiI /iipromise/ii. /iiBefore /iimy /iimom /iidied/ii, /iishe /iimade /iia /ilot iof /iigroundbreaking /iimedicinal /idiscoveries, iunfortunately /iishe /iidied /iibefore /iishe /iicould /iifinish /iiit and /iiput /iiit all /iitogether/i. iOnce /iiI /iistarted /istudying iher /iwork, iI /iiwas /iiable /ito iput /iia /iilot /iof ithe /iipieces /iitogether/ii./ii” /i

That wasn’t a lie, I had used a lot of my mother’s research to help advance my medicinal forms

thus being able to create a lot the medications I made in my previous life.

Casey nodded his head, epting my answer.

i“/iThat makes sense. Your imom /iwas amazing.i” /i

I smiled proudly; indeed, she truly was.

i“/iiSo /iare iyou/ii./ii” /i

His words caught me off guard, Casey blushed slightly as he looked to the left avoiding eye contact.

i“/iiJust /iisaying/ii, /iiyou’d /iihave /ito be a total genius to ieven /iunderstand these iequations /iand an even bigger ifreak /ito advance them. iThat’s /iipretty /iamazing iRouleau/ii./ii” /i

I blushed and smiled as I continued my work. Casey stayed in theb with me until I was finished, he even began to help.

i“/iiI /iishould /istart paying more attention, ithis /icould help ime /iias /iwell.i” /i

He said as we began to clean up. By the time we got finished, the sun had already gone down. Casey offered to walk me back to my apartment.

“You really don’t have to do ithis /iiCasey/i.”

“It’s cool, iI /ilive in theplex tooi, /iI’m a ifew /iifloors /iiup/ii./ii” /i

As we entered my apartment, a sweet and spicy aroma hit both our noses. Gloria came put of the kitchen with a slightly angry expression on her face.

“iHey /iyoung idy/ii! /iiWhere /iihave /iiyou /ibeeni? /iisses /iiwere /iiover /iihours /iiago/ii!/ii” /i

I couldn’t help butugh, I was scowled by my roommate for beingte. Watching her pout made both me and Caseyugh. Gloria beganughing too, popping my shoulder, she tried to get serious

again.

i“/iiSeriously /iira/ii, /iiI /iiwas /iireally /iiworried /iiabout /iiyou/i. iIt /iidawned /iion /iimy /iiI /iidon’t /iihave /iiyour /iinumber/ii./ii” /i

I apologized to Gloria for scaring her and thanked her for being so thoughtful. I exined to her I

went to ab for some work. Afterwards, she thanked Casey for walking me home and offered him to

join us for dinner. For the first time in a long time, it felt like I was having dinner with family.

After dinner, Casey updated Gloria on what I was working on. She could hardly believe it.

“So, wait! You icreated /iia /iicure/ii!/ii” /i

“More or less.”

Both Gloria and Casey looked at me like I had three heads. Finally, Gloria spoke,

“Sheesh! I knew iyou /iwere iamazing /iira/i, but iyou’re /ion a whole different leveli!/i” fn8f1e ?? ??? ???? ?? ???? ???? ???????s, ????s? ??s?? find?novel/fn8f1e

After we winded down, I walked Casey to the door, suddenly he pulled outside.

“I need a favor rai,/ii” /i

Favor?

“What is it?”

Casey blushed and then looked through our window.

i“/iHelp me ask Gloria out.”

Okay…didn’t expect that. Trying to figure out the right words, I scratched my head. Finally, I settled on a simple…

i“/iI’ll see iwhat /iI ican /iido/ii./i”

That was enough for Casey, he hugged me tightly and headed home. Laughing I made my way back into my apartment and finished helping Gloria clean up.
