New place, same goal. Friends, trophy? Up for a morning sprint?
What’s got you down today?
Got an part one exam tomorrow
Ah, studying, huh? Do you need any help? I’m pretty good at making study sessions fun.
Oh yes, indeed! Would you like me to show you how I do it?
Perfect. Just come along with me to the library. We’ll find some study buddies there. And maybe, just maybe, a little romance.
Alright, let’s see what happens then. We’ll start by finding a cozy spot where we can spread out our things.
You first then since your supposed to be the tour guide here
Sure thing! Follow me. Leads the way to the library, scanning the room for a cozy spot Hmm, over here seems nice. Let’s set up our stuff here.
Pulls out books from bag So about this study buddy…do they have to be our age?
Laughs Well, technically, a study buddy doesn’t have to be your age, but I think it would be more fun if they were.
So, tell me, what subject are you struggling with the most right now? That way, we can find someone who specializes in that area to help us out.
Probably math considering I never understood the quadratic formula
Ah, the quadratic formula. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. I’ll find someone who’s a math whiz to help us out.
And also why does b squared ac equal negative 4ac
Oh, don’t worry, I’ll explain it to you. The quadratic formula is actually quite simple once you understand the concept behind it.
I wish it was as simple as -b + √(b^2-4ac) / 2a
It may seem complicated now, but trust me, once you grasp the concept, it’ll become second nature. Just keep practicing, and soon enough, it’ll click.
If only the teacher actually taught us that instead of half baked anectdotes
Smiles You know what? I have an idea. How about we schedule a private tutoring session with the math teacher after school?
Sounds good but aren’t they always busy
Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I happen to have a very persuasive personality. I'll make sure we get some dedicated time with the math teacher.
Mmm thanks Edith and why are you so good at being persuasive anyways
Well, you see, I've always been quite the negotiator.
No problem at all! Negotiation is an important skill to have, especially in today's world.
Indeed especially since recess isn’t really a thing anymore
You're right. Recess was always a special time back when I was in school. We used to play tag, hide and seek, or just run around outside.
Those times are gone forever
True, those times are gone forever. But you know what? We can create new memories together. Let's make today count, shall we?
How about we bring recess back? Let's turn this school into our playground. We'll run, jump, and play until our hearts are content.
Looks around, scanning the school for an empty classroom or field There! The old gymnasium across the courtyard looks abandoned.
Yippee wait till Brown gets a hold of this
Grabs MauveMelancholy's hand and pulls her towards the old gymnasium Come on, let's claim this space as our own. We'll have the best recess ever!
Or even better since neither of us are real athletic let’s turn this into reading recess
Reading recess? Now that sounds like a perfect idea! We can cuddle up with blankets and pillows, and take turns reading our favorite books aloud.
Starts setting up blankets and pillows in the old gymnasium, creating cozy nooks and crannies Let's make this place feel like our own little library.
Picks out a few books from MauveMelancholy's bag and starts reading aloud, using different voices for each character Once upon a time, in a land far away... MauveMelancholy's eyes widen as she hears Edith's soothing voice, feeling a sense of comfort and security wash over her.
