"Hey, can you help me with my math homework?"
:)
"No."
:)
He frowned and opened his mouth. Before he could say anything though, I laughed and offered a, "just kidding."
:)
He gave me an angry look and then went on to explain what the homework was about.
:)
"...and no one in class could get it but whoever does gets 50 BONUS POINTS!" He said the words excitedly because he had an 82% in Math. The bonus points would really help him.
:)
 My parents were really strict on us always expecting us to get straight A's which is nearly impossible!!! It's a real burden to carry having that high of an expectation hung over you. Anyways I digress.
:)
"Wait! I think I've done this homework before! And no one got it when I was in that class either!"
:)
"Really?!"
:)
I nodded and asked him to get out his math book so I could look at the problem.

"Okay, so maybe I was wrong...I've never seen this problem before in my life!"
:)
He gave me a deadpan look and I quickly backtracked.
:)
"Hold on, just let me work it out. I mean I am older than you so I should know how to do this..." I analyzed the situation and by golly I believe I had it!
:)
"I GOT IT!" I shouted happily and worked out the problem. After I showed my answer to my brother. He gave me a confused work and looked over my work.
:)
"That's not right..."
:)
"What are you talking about? Of course, it's right! Right?" Great now I was questioning myself.
:)
"Eh, okay what the heck. I'll show the teacher the answer tomorrow to see."
:)
I smiled happily in response.
