Talk is just talk, but Li Wei had no intention of getting involved with them in anything beyond friendship.
Cheerleaders like Samantha and Daphne were clearly just trying to use his name to boost their own status, which was obvious from the way Daphne had dumped Evan.
After his morning AP Calculus class ended, Li Wei and Michael headed to different classrooms.
In the United States, high school AP courses are electives. Michael was off to AP History, while Li Wei had chosen AP Macroeconomics.
The macroeconomics teacher was Mrs. Mossley, a very stern-looking elderly black woman, and she was clearly not happy about Li Wei transferring into her class.
"Listen," she said, looking at Li Wei. "You probably didn't study AP Economics at your high school back in your country. To get an A in one year—no, in most of a year—I seriously doubt you'll be able to keep up."
"In that case, feel free to quiz me on anything from the book," Li Wei said. "I think I might just be able to keep up."
