After a nice dinner with all the family, where every time Mathew look at Veronica, she only ended looking at the side, trying to not be in his radar, that only makes it worse and more obvious.
'How is possible that she doesn't realize that she too obvious?!' Thomas couldn't help to scream in his mind and curse at her oblivious mother
to change the attention of the table towards him he asked his uncle if he can use his library to do some research about some engineering.
His uncle Howard daughters and granddaughters, none of them follow his steps in his field of study, some of them were modist, reporters and one of them is a cop, he was sad about it, but he is happy knowing that all of them were following his dreams or already make it. So when he heard that his nephew was curious about his field, he was more than glad.
He takes him to the library and shows him around, it turns out that the library was one entire floor of the building!!
Thomas was amazed at how big it was the library, how well it was decorated, a lot of beautiful red-brown tables and chairs, he touched one was surprised that every table, chair, and bookshelf was made of Bubinga wood.
'damn exactly how much money have my grand uncle? Oh! I recognize these carpets, these are Persian, and that is a Monet?'
"Wow!"
"Thomas, this is my personal library, ⅓ of all the books are about engineering, mathematics, physics, mechanics, chemistry, all of this is part of my career. If you really want to study this I recommend you start studying maths, is the base of all these themes"
Thomas takes a good look to his grand-uncle a 70 years old man, but he looks like 50, with salt and pepper hair, deep blue eyes filled with hope that is looking at me, khaki pants, a white shirt and what it looks like Italian shoes.
"Thanks, uncle, for let me study here"
"No problem buddy" Howard said while he was ruffling Thomas' hair with his right hand, then he points to the beginning of a bookshelf "if you have any questions where to start there are references books for all the levels and if you don't understand something, bring me a list with all the thing you have difficulties"
"Ok uncle, I will"
"Good luck" Howard said and he started to walk away "Oh! before I forget, there is paper and some pens in that drawer, now I have some business to do, see ya"
When he was outside his view, Thomas started to prepare himself for studying a little, he takes some paper, a pen, some math reference books and then he sits in a nearby table "Let's see if this body can handle a two-hour intense study"
One can have all the theories, formulas of every subject, but if someone doesn't understand what have in front of him, one can't do anything with it
It's like give a little child a sports car, asking him to drive it in a professional the race circuit, make a perfect drift and the top of it win the race.
Impossible, right? Doesn't matter if you have the perfect technique, the perfect way of doing one thing if you don't practice its all in bane, like the old saying, practice makes perfect. That's why one has to practice, practice, practice, understand and dominate the subject.
That's why now Thomas is right now studying for an entrance exam for a university, half an hour later, his head was hurting his hands sweating and a little dizzy
'fuck this body is not used to do anything, not exercising, not studying, only play games all the time *sigh*, it looks I have to conditionate this body from zero, damn it! Well let's see what other books have uncle Howard here'
Thomas started to stretch his legs, after studying his legs were a little sore, so he started to walk around his area of study so he can clear his mind a little and copy the books near him.
"Tommy!! HONEY! time to SLEEP!" Veronica scream heard across the floor, Thomas look towards the clock in the wall, it was 11 pm
*sigh* 'I guess I can copy all the books tomorrow, some of them are pretty interesting'
"OKAY, MOM!!"
