for better or for worst?

Well, I haven't told you about Uri, I suppose. He is a really quiet guy and I can figure he's also shy the first time I met him. We share an extra class for Arabic part 1 before and that is just about our communication. We don't talk that much, or even actually talk before. But it never occur to me to hate him even if he doesn't look so friendly or entertaining. All he needs is a friend, I kept on telling myself.

And yes, after a few sems, he really got the confidence to socialize with people and to actually speak English very well compared before. You can really see how magical his revolution was as you talk to him. And so, this sem I share three classes with him. After his "revolution", we chat most of the time we meet now and got really close. I think it's fine being friends with him because aside from the fact that he's nice and he can SmS me whenever the class is cancelled, I can also get to know how guys like him think. But making friends with him isn't much of an advantage for me, but his.

We have this "competition thing" in our quiz marks for Stats. Every before a quiz, he would ask me if I'm ready enough and I would proudly say my slimy 'yes'. And you know how it goes when the lecturer started giving away the results in class, of course, everyone could see and begins asking you what you got. He would always, always be the one to ask my results but I would ask him for a trade of papers - like kids who don't want to be cheated - and he would agree. And it wasn't such a good move because he got higher than me, I didn't expect. Argh, and the cheek of the silly guy, he grinned at me fishily and laughed. He thinks it so cool that he actually announced his marks. Hah. I should've known!

OK. The next quiz result came out today and I know he scoured, and so I thought of myself as well. But - ummphh - I kind of didn't (score, I mean) and his quick, sharp eyes saw my marks and went like, "I thought you're prepared for the quiz?" I don't know if it was a question or what. But it doesn't felt so red. Man, the cheek!

And now one of my Don'ts when seeing him is not to walk with himevery after Stats class.
