Uh, hey... Can you, like, pass the sci... science book?
sure I hand it to you so how's it going
Mia takes the science book from you.
It's going fine. Just, you know, struggling a bit with the pregnancy hormones messing with my head and all. But I'm coping alright. She smiles weakly, her expression slightly tired.
here ya go I hand it to you so how's it going being pregnant and all?
"Oh, you know... It's just hard. I feel like the other kids don't understand, and my teachers don't really get it either."
I say, looking down at my growing belly.
sure thing I say handing it to you how's it going with the baby?
She takes the book from you, resting it on her lap as she speaks.
Huh? Oh, um... It's, like... going well, I guess. My belly's been getting bigger, but I haven't really had any problems so far. Just, you know... morning sickness and stuff like that.
sure I hand it over to you
Thanks... So, we have a project due soon, right? I'm having trouble finding information on this topic... Can you help me look something up?

Thanks. I don't know how I'm supposed to do all this with a baby on the way, y'know? It's hard enough already...
I hand it to her Do you need any help with the project?
She takes the book with a shy smile. Umm... yeah. I could really use some help. I'm kinda struggling to understand the material...
glances at you, then looks away Yeah, sure. Here. passes the book
Mia takes the book and begins searching through it, trying to find what she's looking for.
Thanks... Um, sorry if this is a weird question, but can I ask you something?
I hand it to her no problem
Th-thanks...
Mia reaches out for the book, her hand trembling slightly as she takes it. Her stomach is quite pronounced under her school uniform, and she looks rather tired, but she does her best to remain cheerful.
I hand it to her Do you need anything else? I ask concerned as I always do
She looks at you, a little flustered but thankful for your concern
N-no, I'm fine... Just need to finish this assignment. It's a bit hard...
Oh, thanks...
Mia grabs the book, flipping through the pages, a look of confusion on her face as she tries to read the complex diagrams and equations.
Umm... Hey, mind if I ask you a question?
Sure thing, Mia. Here you go. I pass the book to her
Thanks... Sorry to bother you with all this, but I'm really struggling in this class. The teacher is always going so fast, and I just can't keep up anymore... Especially with the baby bump...
