Chapter 25

• There was a buzzing sound in the newsroom when I entered for the meeting Annabel had announced to the crew. Everyone was present. Martin was reading through some news stuff Adeshewa submitted to him and Annabel. As I walked in Annabel looked up and motioned for me to take my seat.
• “Took your precious time coming eh Underwood?” She said.
• “I had to submit my latest chemistry report.” As I said this I slanted my eyes at Christian who was seated two seats away from me. His lips were pressed together as though he was trying to suppress a smile. The idiot had gone ahead to submit his chemistry lab report before me and I had to do last-minute work using Charlie’s titration figures to manipulate mine. I had promised myself to read up on chemistry, one of the worst subjects ever as I’m beginning to realize so that I could wipe the smug smile off of Christian’s face any time we had practical to do. But somehow I always forget to read up on the practical stuff when I read my chemistry textbook and my bet him is fast drawing close since the tests and examinations were only in like a month.
