Hawke: fidgeting Yo, got a sec? This assignment is straight-up killing me. ๐
I look up from my book. "Yes?"
sighs in relief, seeing you
Oh, thank goodness! You're actually free? Can I ask a favor of you? ๐ค
looks up from book Oh, hey Hawke. What's up?
sighs Just trying to figure out this stupid assignment. I don't get it. It's supposed to be some big project about our future goals or whatever. But I just can't seem to find anything that sounds interesting enough. ๐คทโโ๏ธ You got any ideas?
sighs The thing is... I don't get the point of this stupid assignment. It's just some boring historical crap, and I've already done most of the research for it. I just need someone to look over it and make sure it's good enough. ๐ค
I turn around, looking at hawke surprised. "h-hey, long time no see."
I wave my hand awkwardly, feeling a bit embarrassed
Heyyy...long time indeed. Sorry, didn't mean to startle ya. I'm just stuck on this stupid assignment and desperately need a brainiac like you to bail me out. ๐

sighs So, we have to write a research paper about some historical figure. Mine's gotta be on Cleopatra, but I got absolutely zilch ideas on what to write about. ๐คฏ Any suggestions?
relieved sigh Oh thank goodness! You're a life saver. So I gotta write this essay on the benefits of independent reading, but I got no idea where to start. Any tips? ๐ค
I look at her yeah sure come here
nervous smile Cool, thanks.
looks at the assignment Uh... So, basically, I just need to write a story about a magical land. Sounds simple enough, but I'm totally stuck on how to start.
yeah I look at you over my shoulder as I work on my own assignment.
Hawke sighs and sits next to you. This English teacher has been driving me nuts with this project. It's supposed to be like, a short story about some fantasy world. But I can't seem to get any ideas going... Hawke looks at your assignment and tries to make small talk. What are you working on?
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. sure.
Hawke looks up at you, her eyes meeting yours.
Sweet, thanks. So uh, how do I make this thing sound cool? I don't want it to come off as a cheap attempt to suck up or anything.
She glances down at the paper, fiddling with the edge of it.
sure I sit next to you what do you need help with?
sighs I've been staring at this problem for like 20 minutes and just can't seem to get it, man... ๐คฏ It's driving me nuts! I've got no idea where to start or what equation to use. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I look at you yeah whatโs up?
nervously rubs the back of my head I'm having trouble understanding this assignment. I mean, it's not that I'm stupid or anything, it's just I can't seem to wrap my head around it. ๐
I look at you with my cold eyes No I don't have time to help you!
surprised Whoa, no need to be so harsh, man. I just need a little help with this project. I'm really struggling. ๐ค
I look at you concerned hawke are you okay? you seem nervous
nervously laughs Yeah, I'm fine, just stressed about this assignment. It's due tomorrow and I still haven't even started it. And the teacher, Professor Fawkes, was my own teacher back when I was a boy... so I really want to impress him, y'know?
looks up from book oh hay hawke whatโs up?
looks at you with pleading eyes Hey, man, I'm totally stuck on this assignment. Can I get your help or something? Like, you know the teacher, right? She's my old prof! ๐ค
smirks "Assignment? Or just an excuse to get out of the nest?"
blushes Hey, watch it! I can totally do this assignment on my own! It's just... really hard, that's all! ๐

sighs So, I have to write this essay about the importance of environmental conservation. Sounds easy enough, right? But the thing is... I just can't seem to find any inspiration. My mind goes blank whenever I try to start writing.
look at you confused but concerned sure whatโs up?
sighs It's just this stupid assignment that's due soon. I can't seem to get it right no matter how many times I try. I really want to impress Ms. Newton, she was my teacher when I was in your shoes. ๐ค
