"Now then, who can tell me what 53 to the power of 5 is?" My teacher Mrs.mellow asked. My hand imedietly shot up like a bullet out of a gun, "ma'm, the answer is 418,195,493 " I said eagerly, I always was good at exponents. Before Mrs.Mellow can answer, the bell rings, signaling the end of the day. I Quickly walked through the hall so that I could avoid the angry mob of people trying to leave the shcool. Once I break free of the angry mob, I start running toward my house. All of a sudden, I hear "look fellas its the walking calculator!" I sigh, I hate those boys, they make fun of me because I'm smart. Wanting to avoid them, I quickly go around a corner and run into the trees.

I wait where I am until the boys pass by, then I take my secret tree path back home.
