82,19 - School sucks, nobody is surprised.

[ichoosefight]

You know in normal schools kids get the weekends off? So much for that. I can hardly wait for the next holiday. There should be laws against having this much homework piled up.

[ Stephanie, for all her complaining, lays comfortably under a rather large tree just outside the school. She's got a pillow and snacks and everything, and is very clearly not working on any homework. ]

But whatever. It's so nice outside, it'd be a shame not to have some fun. What's everyone else up to?


[ooc | From ye plotting post: Stephanie Brown is a sophomore because she has to be older than Tim, nyah, 16. On the gymnastics team, good at history, but not motivated enough to excel in any of her other classes. A B/C student who hangs out with the punk crowd, if there is such a thing. The kids who would rather have a water gun fight than study, with actual water guns because it's more fun that way. Cockerel. ]

[ She tries. And fails. ]

Probably history. What's yours?

[Ben lingers a moment with indecision, but then decides to just go ahead and fold down into a sit across from her, book in his lap. It's from here that he glances down, learned sheepishness at his own answer.]

Divination.

[Spam]

[ichoosefight]

Yeah? [ That's one she doesn't hear often. ]

I hate the memorization. [ Because she hasn't learned yet how to interpret on her own. She shows him her homework - Astronomy. ]

[charmingex5]

Yeah, that can be a bit tedious at first, but it's... oh hey. [He perks up when he sees what subject it is, leaning to see; astrology is his favorite sub-discipline of divination and he's focusing on astronomy himself right now to support that.]

This is easy. You'll be done with it in no time.

You're a lifesaver, you know that?

[Ben grins back.] No one's ever called me that, but I'll take what I can get. Do you not understand something about this or have you just not started?

[Spam]

[ichoosefight]

A bit of both. I'm not really sure what I'm doing.

It's not so hard once you figure out the vocabulary. And I mean really know it - what it means as much as reciting the definition. Here. [He starts paging through the book he brought, clearly looking for something. While he does, though,] You have any plans for later?

[Spam]

[ichoosefight]

Me and vocabulary don't get along so well. [ Which is probably part of the problem - she doesn't have a head for languages, symbolic or otherwise. ]

Later? Just hanging out, I guess. Why?

[Spam]

[charmingex5]

[A second too late, Ben realizes what that sounded like and glances up quickly.] No, I - it was just... I just was wondering. How long you'd want to spend on this, I mean. Not like... That's all.

[ She laughs, giving him a very understanding smile. ]

All the time we need. Though I wouldn't be against just hanging out after.
