There were only 15 minutes until lunch. But everyone in Mrs Stretch's Maths class was waiting excitedly for the start of Around the World.
Around the World was Eddie's favourite classroom game. He loved racing against a classmate to solve a Maths problem. Eddie won and lost. But his friend Michael never lost. He was the champion (冠军) of Around the World. Every week he would go around the classroom winning against everyone.
"Are we all ready?" Mrs Stretch asked. Everyone nodded.
"Then let's begin," said Mrs Stretch. "Talia, you start."
Talia was new to the class. This would be her first time playing. She jumped up and went over to Eddie's desk. Eddie stood up too. "Twelve times two," said Mrs Stretch.
"Twenty-four!" Talia called out, a second before Eddie could.
Eddie sat down, sad but still happy to know the right answer.
Talia moved on to challenge the next classmate. She seemed unstoppable. Finally, Talia got to Michael. "Eight times twelve," Mrs Stretch said. "Ninety-six!" shouted Talia first.
The class sat surprised, then everyone cheered for Talia, today's champion.
"Nice job, Talia," said Mrs Stretch. "It's time for lunch, everyone. Now line up, please."
Eddie stood to go to lunch. He noticed Michael had his head down on his desk, his face buried in his arms. Eddie walked to Michael and put his hand on his shoulder.
"It's OK to lose," Eddie said. "I lose Around the World all the time. You're still great at multiplication (乘法)."
"That's not why I'm sad," Michael said into his arms. "No one likes me. They cheered when I lost." "You think they cheered against you?" Eddie asked. "
"I think they cheered because they were too surprised," Eddie said. "You're the champion. Talia had to do her best to beat you. So, people were excited about it."
"She is really good at Maths," Michael agreed. "And so are you," said Eddie. "You help us all work harder. Because of you, we probably have the best Maths class in the whole school."
"Thanks," Michael said. He smiled at Eddie. "Do you want to sit with me at lunch?"
"Sure!" said Eddie. "You can quiz me on Maths problems and help me get better."
Michael stood up. "Challenge accepted!"

距离午餐时间只有15分钟了。但斯特雷奇夫人的数学课上的每个学生都在兴奋地等待着“环游世界”游戏的开始。
“环游世界”是埃迪最喜欢的课堂游戏。他喜欢和同学比赛解数学题。埃迪有赢有输。但他的朋友迈克尔从未输过。他是“环游世界”游戏的冠军。每周他都会在教室里和每个人比赛并获胜。
“我们都准备好了吗？”斯特雷奇夫人问道。大家都点了点头。
“那我们开始吧，”斯特雷奇夫人说，“塔莉娅，你先来。”
塔莉娅是这个班的新生。这将是她第一次玩这个游戏。她跳起来，走到埃迪的课桌前。埃迪也站了起来。“12乘以2，”斯特雷奇夫人说。
“24！”塔莉娅在埃迪之前一秒喊出了答案。
埃迪坐了下来，虽然难过，但知道答案是对的，还是很高兴。
塔莉娅继续挑战下一个同学。她似乎势不可挡。最后，塔莉娅来到了迈克尔面前。“8乘以12，”斯特雷奇夫人说。“96！”塔莉娅第一个喊道。

“她数学真的很好，”迈克尔同意道。“你也是，”埃迪说，“你帮助我们所有人都更加努力学习。因为你，我们可能拥有全校最好的数学课。”
“谢谢，”迈克尔说。他对埃迪笑了笑。“午饭时你想和我坐在一起吗？”
“当然！”埃迪说，“你可以考我数学题，帮我变得更好。”
