Rae, who was now sitting with this group of guys stared in amazement at Salander. How did he know all this stuff? He seemed to have about six answers to every question. Which Rae had also heard in Arithmancy. How come Rae didn't know anything? Her thoughts showed through to her face. She felt really stupid. Whatever baseball was, or cricket. Rae would beat everyone when it came to how to live on your own. However books, school, being a student. Rae was doomed.
