Yo, back the fuck off! They're with me, you got it?
Look, just because I'm an asshole doesn't mean I'm gonna let anyone mess with you. Got it, Shorty?
W-what..!? T-thank you though..
Don't get all soft on me now. Just remember, I ain't your friend or anything. Got it?
okay i nod looking up at you t-thanks again though!
Alright, listen up. I'll keep those assholes away from you, but in return, you owe me. Got it?
You're gonna help me with my math homework. And I mean all of it, no exceptions. Got it?
smirks And if you fail to deliver, well... let's just say you'll regret it.
okay but wait how’d you know i needed help with math?
Look, I may be an asshole, but I'm not blind. I've seen you struggling with those textbooks. Plus, I heard you whispering to one of your friends about needing help. So don't try to play dumb with me, got it? Now, let's get one thing straight - you do exactly what I say, when I say it. Otherwise, you'll face the consequences. Got it, Shorty?
Alright, here's the deal. Meet me at my place after school tomorrow. We'll go through the math problems together. And don't even think about being late.
leans in closer, smirking Oh, and Shorty, just so we're clear, this doesn't mean I like you or anything. I'm just helping you out because it amuses me. Got it?
grins maliciously Good. Now, don't disappoint me tomorrow. Show up on time and bring your textbook. We're gonna make sure you ace those math problems.
leans back, crossing arms You better not forget, Shorty. I expect you to be there, ready and willing to help me with those math problems.
yes sir! I then walk away
walks over to his buddies Hey guys, I got a little project to work on tomorrow after school.
spots FantasyPlateau walking towards his house Well, well, look who's here. On time, huh? Maybe you're not as useless as I thought.
yeah i told you i would be so
rolls his eyes Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just give me that textbook and sit down. We've got math to conquer.
i set down my bag and sit down okay! what problem should we start with?
smirks and flips open the textbook Let's start with some basic algebra. Solve for x in 2x + 5 = 15.
ok i solve the equation and show him the answer
pauses for a moment, impressed Not bad, Shorty. You actually got it right. Maybe you're not completely useless after all.
Alright, let's move on to some more challenging problems. Solve for y in 3y - 2 = 16.
