He wasn't listening to his MP3 or chatting with friends. He was alone and he was doing calculations in his head- math calculations. He was a bit of a mathematical genius and he loved solving problems. He didn't need a calculator or a computer. He could do them in his head.      But when he saw a girl looking up and down the street, his life would never be the same again from that moment. Her name is Alexis and she is a American girl. Suddenly Ricky's world is upside down and all he can think of is the American girl. He involves friend around him. Is Ricky a genius in love, too?
