**_Something that happened irl!_**

All six of us turn to sir after we finished watching a clip from Shark Tank.

"So, today, you all will be trying to convince Mr Raven," Mr Pendo gestures to the TA that’s usually here for one of the special kids, Leo, "To buy your product. You will be creating a product out of the STEM kits I have brought with us today." All of our eyes trail to the two STEM kits at the front of the class. "You can make whatever you want out of them, and sell your business for however much you want and the percentage of your business is your choice."

We all get started after he finished explaining the details.

The classroom was an IT room and it had a row right in the middle of it which kind of split the classroom in two in a way.

On one side it was me and the two girls, Mia and Rory. And on the other side was Max and Ranjit.

Me and the girls brainstormed ideas and the Ranjit heard us and decided to try copy every one.

_"Let’s make a scooter!" I suggest._

_ "Let’s make a scooter," Ranjit copies._

_ "A pogo stick!"_

_ "A pogo stick."_

_ "I am going to murder you-"_

_ "I’m not doing anything!"_

That basically summed up a lot.

One of the many times he tried to peek over the computers, I threw one of the blue plastic screw at him.

He complained to sir who wasn’t listening at all. I snicker when he gets ignored.

One time, Ranjit came over to our side to try see what we were doing. When I noticed him, I got up and I was prepared to chase him around the classroom.

He raised his arms in fake surrender, "Okay, okay. I’m sorry. I won’t do it again."

He did in fact do it again. Five more times.

Now I’m presenting the bike we had made. Okay, that’s a lie. Mia and Rory made it. But I did just as much work, I sorted out the technical stuff. Like percentages, money, research, I was the spokesperson of the group. So was Ranjit. Except he wasn’t in the group. He was heckling me with sarcastic comments.

I had a pole in my hand(don’t ask why) and I lifted it up. "WATCH WHAT I DO TO YOU-!"

"SIR SHE’S THREATENING ME!"

Mr Pendo exhales heavily. "Ranjit, shut up. Zayla, ignore him and continue."

So I did.

And it seems like Ranjit knew that I laugh really easily especially when I’m nervous or put on the spot so now he’s resorted to showing me that stupid grin of his and muttering little comments under his breath which make me laugh.

"I ask for, £50,000 for 15% of the company."

Mia’s eyes widen at the price. "What are you doing?" she mouthed.

I give her a look that says: Trust me.

So she does.

It’s the boy’s turn now.

While Ranjit is presenting his scooter idea(which he totally stole from us by the way) and I’ve decided to get pay back.

"Do you plan on using ropes on the handlebars for the real thing? You plan on giving someone rope burn?" I scoff.

Ranjit falters.

"Zayla," sir says with a strict tone.

I roll my eyes and sigh. "Fine, fine. I’m just saying though," I mutter, shrugging.

The boys finish. "We ask for £15,000 for 50%."

Wow. These guys have zero idea how to do business.

Five minutes later, Mr Raven announces the winners. "The winners are.. Zayla’s team!"

Mia and Rory cheer and celebrate, I simply smirk at Ranjit. "Even while copying us and asking for a lot less money, you still lost."

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." He rolls his eyes but I swear I could see a ghost of a smile on his face.
