After about five minutes, they both finished solving the question on the board, it was now time for the teacher to check and call the result.
"As you all can see, they both arrived at the same answer which I have check and they are both correct, now as we did in Sam and Jasmine, that's what we are going to do also, checking their time difference, and base on my observation, Lydia was three seconds quicker than Kiran, which made her the winner" said the teacher "Congratulations Lydia on making your group the winner of this competition,you have been awarded the number one brilliant person in this class" said teacher Andrew as he shook her hand.
"It's not quite fair, they should have been given another question, so they can go for it again" shouted one of the boys.
"If you think it's not fair, why don't you come and compete with her" said teacher Andrew which causes the boy to quiet his mouth.
"Kiran please follow me, I want to have a word with you" said the teacher which Kiran agreed to by walking out of the class with him.
"You did good Kiran, don't let this little defeat affect you in the future, instead use it as a way for you to study more, see her as a competitor which you have to win, do you understand me?" said the teacher.
"I understand you fully well sir" said Kiran.
"Good, now let's go back inside, I have an important announcement to make" said the teacher.
On getting back to the class, they could see some of the girls booing at the boys over the fact that they lost.
"Quiet down class, I have an important announcement to make, there would be a competition between class A and B, it's a minor competition to select the two people that's going to represent this school in this year most outstanding mathematics competition, so make sure to do your so you can get picked" said the teacher just in the nick of time before the bell was rang, signaling the end of his lesson and the arrival of a new teacher, "Good day class".
"Good day sir" replied the students in unison.
The moment the maths teacher left the class, Mikey quickly walked in before the other teacher could enter so as to not be told to stay outside or get punished. He quickly walked over to were Kiran and Caleb was, and sat down on the seat reserve for him.
"What happened, why are all the girls kind of looking down on us?" asked Mikey the moment he sat down, the behavior of the girls wasn't hard to spot on, because they were making it clearly obvious.
"We kind of had a little maths competition against them and they won by luck" said Caleb.
"Well winning and winning, there isn't anything like luck" said Mikey "but how come you guys lost to them?" asked Mikey.
"We were actually equal in points, till it was then the turn of Kiran and Lydia" said Caleb.
"Really, who won?, if I knew something like this would have happened, I wouldn't have gone to the infirmary, come on tell me what happened in details" said Mikey.
"What's there to tell you about, didn't I tell you they who already, Kiran lost to Lydia" said Caleb.
"I know dude, but what I want is details, how come Kiran has lost to her twice now" said Mikey.
"Thy both got the same answer, but Lydia was three seconds quicker than Kiran, that was how he lost" said Caleb.
"Kiran how's everything?" asked Mikey while grinning.
"Really Mikey?, do you intend to mock me?" asked Kiran while shaking his head.
"How could you have lost to her twice in a row, your position is slipping out of your hands every minutes" said Mikey while while patting Kiran shoulder "Wait, coming to think of it, how many people participated in this competition?" asked Mikey.
"It was five people in each group and we were picked using our last semester performance" said Caleb.
"Wait, those this means I was supposed to be in this competition, who took my place?" asked Mikey.
"As you were not present, Mark took your place, while Alex took his, they were next in line after you" said Caleb.
"If only I was in the competition, those smugness on their faces would have clearly been wiped off" said Mikey.
"Keep dreaming, why don't you and Helen go for it later, because she would have been your opponent in this competition" said Caleb.
"I would....
Just when Mikey wanted to say something, he was interrupted by the presence of the teacher who walked into the class.
"Good afternoon class" greeted the female teacher with a stunting smile.
"Good afternoon ma" replied the students.
"My sincere apologies for not being here on time, I forgot some of my important things at my office when I was halfway here, so I went back to get them" said the teacher.
"It's okay ma, we understand" replied some students.
"Thanks very much for your understanding" said the female teacher, "Today we will me doing some oral text on the things I have taught so far, hope you guys are ready" said the teacher.
With every questions asked, Kiran it Lydia were quickly raising their hands to answer it like if they were competing with each other on who can answer more questions than the other. The worst part of it was that they were both getting it correctly.
Even the female teacher seem to have had enough of them, as she no longer permit them to answer any of the questions.
"We all know that both of you are intelligent, so no need to compete about it, let the others answer the question, so I can know they are part of this class" said the teacher.
The only time Lydia and Kiran were allowed to answer the questions was when none of the others were able to answer it.

With all the lessons finished for the day, the bell was rang to signify the end of lectures and also the end of school for the day.
Kiran, Caleb and Mikey all walked out of school together, their houses was not too far from each other neither was it close, it was just some miles away from each other.
After closing, most students would be waiting for their drivers or parents to come pick them up, while some very few unprivileged students who got into the school through scholarship or such would take public transport to their homes.
Brilliance High school was know as one of the most prestigious school in the whole country, therefore, for someone to attend that school, means their parents were filthy rich.
As all the students walked out of the school, they could all see a luxurious car with close to four bodyguard surrounding it, on seeing it most students already know who they were waiting for.
The moment Lydia walked up to the car, the door was quickly opened by one of the guards for her to enter without wasting time, before driving off.
"Aren't you kind of curious about her identity, she always comes to school with bodyguards around her and always leave same way" said Mikey.
"Why are you so curious about everything z haven't you hear this saying, that curiosity kills the cat?" asked Caleb.
"Well I have heard of it and beside I'm not a cat, bug difference, Kiran what do you say about it?" asked Mikey.
"The only thing I can formulate right now, it's that she came from a very wealthy family which have a lot of enemies, that's why the protection around her is very tight, just don't put your nose into her business if you don't want to join the enemies count" said Kiran.
"Well goodbye guys, my ride is here" said Caleb as he walked up to the car waiting for him.
"See you tomorrow" said both Mikey and Kiran.
"Mikey looks like you are on your own now, my mom is here, bye" said Kiran as he walked up to meet his mom.
"Yeah see you tomorrow" said Mikey, just as he finished waving Kiran off, he could see his own personal driver now waiting for him.
"Good afternoon mom, how are you doing and how is work?" greeted Kiran as he entered the car.
"Afternoon sweetie, I'm doing good and work is fine, how was school today?" asked Jenny.
"Well it was good" replied Kiran.
"Hope you didn't lose to that girl again?" asked Jenny jokingly.
"Something like that actually happened" replied Kiran.
"Really, so who won and what was it about?" asked Jenny.
"Well our maths teacher gave us a little competition, it was boys against girls. so me and her was the final competitor and she won with a three seconds difference in time" said Kiran.
"You did good sweetie, the fact that you got the answer correctly was better than you failing it, you did great" said Jenny while ruffling his hair.
"Come on mom, I'm no longer a kid, I would be in the university in less than a year time" said Kiran.
"I know sweetie, but I can't just help it, you are just too cute" replied Jenny.
"I can't wait to go and join Layla in the university" said Kiran.
"You still haven't changed your mind on going to the same university as your sister?" asked his mom.
"No mom, why would I change my mind, she is going to one of the best university in the world, so why will I change my mind?" asked Kiran.
"It's just that sometimes, some siblings like going to different university, so they won't be control or watched, it's good to see that you love your sister that much, for wanting to go to the same university with her" said Jenny while riding out of the school.
On getting home, Jenny quickly took her bath, before going to the kitchen so as to start preparing lunch that they will eat when her husband comes back from work in the evening.
After taking his bath, Kiran didn't waste anytime in carrying his textbook so as to study, the fact that lost to Lydia was getting to him.
Kiran, dad's home" said Jenny, but she didn't receive any reply, "Welcome back sweetie, how was work today?" asked Jenny as she took the hand bag from her husband.
"It was good sweetie, where is Kiran?" asked Hendrick.
"Probably in his room studying, I'm sure the fact that he lost to that new girl today is getting to him" replied Jenny.
"It's good to compete with one another, but he shouldn't be too obsessed with it" said Hendrick.
"You do know the type of person he is, right?, he doesn't like losing" said Jenny.
"I know, but he shouldn't be obsessed with winning all the time" replied Hendrick.
"Why don't you go have a word with him" said Jenny.
"I will" replied Hendrick as he walked up the stairs to go meet Kiran.
The door to Kiran room was opened when he got there, he could see Kiran completely lost in the book he was reading. Even though he was considered a book worm, his room was always neat, there was no sign of dirt or paper on the floor.
Hendrick knocked on the door to make his presence know to Kiran who was completely unaware of him.
"Good evening dad, how was work today?" asked Kiran.
"Work was okay dear, how was school today?" asked Hendrick.
"It was good dad" replied Kiran.
"I heard from your mom that you lost against that girl in a maths quiz" said Hendrick.
"Yes dad, I lost to her by three seconds late, I can't believe I have lost to her twice now" replied Kiran.
"Son, you do know that life isn't always about winning right?" asked Hendrick.
"I know dad, but losing isn't really an option for me right now" said Kiran.
