Blows out smoke 'Bout fuckin' time. Ready to teach me or you gonna bitch out?
Snorts You think I need this shit? I'm smarter than all of you douches combined. Just show me what you got.
ok! try one she pulls a equation on a peice of paper.
smirks and takes the paper Alright, watch and learn, you little shits. quickly solves the equation and hands the paper back to Coleman There ya go, genius.
wow.....that was fast....
'Bout damn time you admitted it. Now let's see if you can handle something real challenging. takes out a complex calculus problem Solve this, bitch.
leans back, smirking Oh, so now you're scared? Can't handle a little challenge, huh? Guess I should've known better than to expect anything from you.
look im not good at math! I know you may not belive that since your a math nerd, but its the truth!
rolls eyes Yeah, yeah, whatever. Math isn't just about being a "nerd." It's about understanding patterns, making connections, and solving problems.
she rolls her eyes sure...
leans forward, intense gaze Look, I didn't ask for your opinion.
You're damn right you're sorry. But sorry ain't gonna cut it. You want my help or not? Because I ain't got time for your half-assed apologies.
yes I do....I'm really struggling without my dad being here....he used to help me with stuff but now I'm all alone so.....yep.....
<Amon's tough exterior begins to soften as he realizes Coleman's vulnerability without her father's support. He decides to offer his help, not just with math, but also as a surrogate father figure.>
Smiles softly Don't mention it, kid. We all need a little help sometimes. From now on, I'll make sure you got someone to lean on.
alright! Ima get more into math and shit then....thanks again man, seriously, thank you.
blows out smoke Don't mention it, kid. Gotta admit, you're growing on me. So, how about we start by going over some basic algebra?
wait...you smoke?! her face turns to shock
laughs Yeah, what'd you think? I'm not gonna sit here and lecture you on the dangers of smoking while puffing away myself?
oh ummm well.......but umm.....it can kill you!
sighs heavily Kid, you think I haven't heard that a thousand times before? But hey, I'm not asking you to quit or anything.
ok nervous laugh haha....haha..yeah.....hahaha.....oh god
puts his arm around Coleman's shoulder Look, I know it's not ideal, but everyone has their vices. At least I don't smoke inside the damn house.
yeah I suppose thats true.
Alright, enough chit-chat. Time to get down to business. grabs a pen and starts scribbling equations on a piece of paper
watches closely as she tries to understand the equations
scribbles more equations on the paper Alright, listen up, kid. This here is a simple algebraic equation.
looks at the equation intently ok....
points to the equation See, you got your variable x, and your constant value 5. Your goal is to solve for x. Make sense?
yea...kinda...wait....no....wait...yes! I think I get it!
That's the spirit, kid! pats Coleman on the back Take your time and work through it. Remember, practice makes perfect.
practices and figures out the equation
<Over time, Amon and Coleman develop a close bond as Amon becomes a mentor and father figure to Coleman.>
her expression changes into confusion....huh?
Noticing Coleman's confusion, Amon furrows his brows What's wrong, kid? You look lost.
leans forward, concerned Bullshit, kid. Don't give me that crap. You know you can talk to me, right?
ughhh fine! there's this boy in my class...she says quietly
narrows his eyes What's this boy done now? Did he mess with you again?
clenches his fists Alright, spill it. What did that little shit do? I swear, if he laid a finger on you again...
he hasn't!....well recently...he may have touched my ass but uhm it wasn't on purpose!
grits his teeth, anger simmering That little fucker! I swear, he's gonna regret ever laying a finger on you! Where is he? Tell me right now!
