Ricky's week started as usual.
On Monday morning at breakfast time, while he was trying to read his book on computer games, he had to listen to his sisters' talk about boys.
"Steve is really good-looking," said Jade.
"Good-looking? No, Hassa is good-looking..." said Sonia. "No way!"
"And Ryan," said Sonia, "and Tyler and Sam."
"Sam has lovely hair," agreed Jade. "And Tyler wears cool clothes." "Yeah, and Ryan is a good dancer," added Sonia.
"You should learn to dance, Ricky," said Jade. "Then you might get a girlfriend." Ricky blushed(脸红).
On Tuesday, Ricky spent the whole evening in his room working at his computer. He had his own website. On Tuesdays his class always had Maths homework and Ricky always helped his schoolmates with their problems.
Ricky was always a hero on Wednesdays. His friends went up to him and thanked him for his help with their homework.
"Hey, Ricky, you are brilliant," said Josh. "You are another Einstein!" said Alex.
Teachers liked Ricky too, especially the Maths and Science ones. Whenever they asked questions, Ricky always seemed to know the answers.
Friday was a cold day. But everyone was happy as the weekend started.
Ricky turned up the collar(衣领) of his jacket. It was only five o'clock, but it was already getting dark.
He was walking home on his own. It was strange. Ricky was popular with the boys in his class, but he wasn't close friends with any of them.
