“Ughh!!” Lila plops down at the cafeteria table, dropping her face into her hands.
“Oh what now, drama queen?” Solar snarls at her.
“Solar!” Nova gives her brother a slight push before turning back to Lila. “But really, what’s wrong?”
“You know biology?” Lila drags her head up, her hands pulling her face down in a funny way. Evermore, sitting on her right, nods patiently. “I got a D.” Solar snorts.
“A D? No kidding! Is the pretty little Princess going to fail a class?” Solar gasps and leans back, throwing a hand over his forehead to emphasize his taunting. Lila glares at him.
“Oh shut up! Just because you can’t pass a class doesn’t mean we all have to stoop to your level!” Lila sighs before continuing. “It’s just, biology was supposed to be my class, you know?! It wasn’t supposed to be this hard!!” Eve gives her an empathetic glance, but really with its range of expression it’s hard to tell.
“What were you expecting? You haven’t been paying attention all year.” Aonani interrupts as she brings over her lunch and sits down next to Solar. “Hey, are Solar and I the only ones planning on eating?”
“You can’t expect to do well in a class you’re not participating in,” Nova says reasonably. “And no, you’re not. Come on you two, we should go get lunch,”
“I thought I knew it already!” Lila throws her hands up before pushing away from the table and standing up. Eve stands up beside her, towering over the others. “I know biology!!”
“It’s still important to take notes. I take notes in astronomy.” Nova comments as they make their way to the line.
“There’s no way to memorize every star in the sky.” Lila huffs, crossing her arms.
“You can’t memorize everything about every body either. Face it, it’s important to pay attention.” Nova pats Lila’s shoulder as they grab trays. “The good news is that it’s only first quarter, and you still have plenty of time to bring your grades up.”
“I guess…” Lila sighs as they start to scoop things onto their trays. They walk back to their table without talking more about it.
“Hey,” Aonani says once they’re back. “I could share my notes with you to help you catch up?”
“Please,” Lila exclaims, thankful to have help.
“Cool, we could meet up after school Friday for a study session?”
“That sounds perfect, thank you!!” Lila pulls out her phone to jot down the date. “Want me to drive you to my house? I’ve got some brownies to get rid of,”
“In that case, could Eve and I come too?” Nova says, grinning across at Evermore.
