Alex sat at his desk. He tapped his pen on his notebook.
Resistance.
He knew all about resistance.
Since winning the Champions League, every team played differently against Arsenal. They sat deep. They defended in numbers. They resisted.
"Mr. Finch," the teacher asked. "How do you overcome air resistance?"
Alex looked up.
"Streamlining, Sir," Alex said. "You make yourself smaller. You remove the rough edges. You become efficient."
"Correct," Mr. Tesla smiled. "Aerodynamics."
The door burst open.
Mark stumbled into the room.
He was wearing a full body lycra suit. It was bright neon green. It covered him from his neck to his ankles. He looked like a giant, radioactive green bean.
"I AM STREAMLINED!" Mark yelled. "I AM SMOOTH! THE AIR CANNOT CATCH ME!"
The class erupted in laughter.
"Mark," Mr. Tesla sighed. "Why are you dressed like a vegetable?"
