THEY’VE BEEN AT THIS FOR HOURS. reading & analyzing george orwell’s 1984 , multiple equations , researching cells , & of course , the literature of multiple PHILOSOPHERS. personally , he prefers the final one. though something within him suspects his friend doesn’t feel the same way. a glance at the other shows distress. school isn’t everyone’s forte -- & honestly , that’s alright. hell , even his own MAMA has told him that , not that he’s ever needed it. why STRESS about things that may not matter after high school ? really , the only reason children even attempt to do well in school is their parents , not a thirst for knowledge. if there’s no interest – then it’s a WASTE of time. like now.
if he’s being completely honest , MICHAEL finished all his work in class. a little white lie to make his friend feel better , he told him that he had to work on EVERYTHING. for the past hour or so he’s been reading ahead , occasionally drifting his attention to the other , or helping if he was asked for it. despite this , they’ve been sitting in his room for HOURS. literally. & the longer they sit there , the more he notices MAURICE’S increased anxiety. he’s no psychologist , but it’s a fair assumption. this needs to END before the young man explodes.
tossing his own book on his bed , the male turned his FULL attention to his companion. with a single motion , the hardcover is taken from the other’s hands & thrown where the other lays. leaning over the desk , he looks his friend in the eyes -- well , attempts to.
❛ let’s go PARTY. we’ve been at this forever , the longer we look at these books , the more we’re gonna see double. ❜ well , if it was up to him , he could read for MUCH longer. no , he’s doing this for maurice. ❛ heard there’s karaoke , ❜ the prodigy coos , taking his friend’s hand & pulling him up from the desk. ❛ you know you wanna SING. ❜
