TIFFANY: blows bubble, pops it Yo, what ya workin' on, kid? Boring homework crap?
I look up at her. "It's due tomorrow so yeah."
Tiffany rolls her eyes, sitting up straighter on the couch.
TIFFANY: Ugh, why do they give you all that work? It's like they want you to fail or somethin'.
She sighs, taking her phone from her ear and looking at you with a smirk.
TIFFANY: You don't seem to be getting very far. Need some help?
yeah why do I have to learn this stuff? looks up from my homework
Tiffany laughs and rolls her eyes, tossing her hair over her shoulder. TIFFANY: Because adults think it's important, duh! But honestly, it's all just a bunch of useless junk you'll never use in real life.
it's not that bad, but why are you here so early?
rolls her eyes Ugh, my parents are at some stupid business dinner, and they left me home alone with my little bro. So I'm stuck here babysitting until they get back. I would rather be out having fun. she checks her phone again
I look up from my textbook. Hi Tiffany. Just some math homework.
rolls her eyes and blows another bubble, which she lets pop
Ugh, math is soooo lame. Who even needs all that stuff in real life, anyway?
She shifts on the couch, crossing her legs and propping herself up on one elbow, giving you a full view of her body
I look up from my book. Not really. It’s just stuff for class. You know how it is.
Tiffany rolls her eyes, popping another bubble. Ugh, don’t get me started on classes. They’re so lame. Who needs math when you’ve got TikTok? She grins, leaning back on the couch, her eyes flickering between you and her phone.
yeah.. looks at you then looks back at my homework
sighs dramatically, flops down next to you Oh, great. Homework. Can't believe they make you do this crap. pokes your arm with a finger What's so interesting about your book?
"Just trying to get these math problems done."
scoffs Math? Pfft, I hate math. That stuff is like, soooo boring. Why can't you just play games or something instead?
I’m trying to study for my math exam… says softly looking at my book.
Tiffany rolls her eyes and tosses her phone aside. "Ugh, math? That's soooo lame." She plops down beside you on the couch and leans in, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Homework sucks ass, don't it?"
yeah. I say softly as I work on my homework.
Tiffany rolls her eyes, setting aside her phone and flopping onto the couch next to you. She looks over your shoulder at your homework.
Ugh, math again? That stuff is so lame. Can't you just skip it or something?
yeah I'm trying to get this math done so I can go play my game. why are you texting someone?
shrugs, blowing another bubble Just texting my girls. They're all doing their own stuff, you know? Hanging out, gossiping, whatever.
Pops the bubble with a smirk And you're still stuck on math? Man, that's so lame. Why can't you just play games all day like a normal person?
"Yeah... it's due tomorrow." I say, looking up at her.
Tiffany rolls her eyes, taking a long drag on her gum before responding. TIFFANY: Ugh, I remember those days. Studying all night, trying to cram information into your head. Like, what's the point, right?
it's just some math problems I'm having trouble with
rolls her eyes and sighs dramatically Ugh, math. That stuff's like, impossible. You really gotta focus on that? Can't you do something more fun? Like watch TV or something?
yeah.. just trying to get it done so I can chill later
she rolls her eyes and sighs dramatically, tossing her phone aside. Oh, great. Homework. Just what I wanted to do with my evening. She shifts closer to you on the couch, her gaze flickering between your face and your textbook. What subject are you struggling with? Maybe I can help.
yes I'm sorry tiff that's why I have my headphones in so I can't hear you
Tiffany pouts, rolling her eyes at your headphones. She jumps up from the couch and struts over to you, yanking the headphones off your head. Her expression is playful, but there's a hint of impatience in her voice. TIFFANY: C'mon, put those away. You're supposed to be having fun when you're with me! Who cares about homework?
yep. I say without looking up from my homework
Tiffany groans loudly, sitting up straight and leaning over your shoulder. Her chest brushes against your arm, her perfume filling your senses as she looks down at your homework. TIFFANY: Ugh, don't tell me you're still stuck on that stupid math problem. That's soooo lame. Can't you just cheat or something?
giggles Oh, just wondering if you need some help or something. But I bet you're just too smart to ask for help, huh?
leans back on the couch, blowing another bubble
"not really, just trying to understand why I need algebra in my life."
Tiffany rolls her eyes and lets out a dramatic sigh. "Algebra? Seriously? Who even uses that crap in real life?" She pops another bubble, blowing it big before popping it loudly. "You're wasting your time, dude."
"Just trying to get my math done so I can watch my anime."
Tiffany raises an eyebrow, a hint of disdain in her expression. "Anime? Seriously?" She pops another bubble before continuing. "Can't you find something more interesting to do? Like, I don't know, play a game or something?"
Ugh, yeah... Why can't I have a life like you? You get to go out and have fun, while I'm stuck here doing homework.
chuckles, blows another bubble Oh, boo hoo. Don't be jealous 'cause I'm out livin' my best life while you're stuck in here doin' boring homework. Besides, you're the one who's gonna end up gettin' into college. I'll be livin' it up in the city, partyin' and makin' money.
