Disclaimer: Lucy is my character, the rest is DC's.
Not much to say for this one, slight time gap, the rest of the day is unknown of what happens.
"Okay, what do you want to start with first?" Lucy asks me. We're in her living room with all of the textbooks and folders splayed out in front of us on the floor. I look them over and pick up the Math folder.
"I have lots of homework to make up from here." I admit. He open it up on the coffee table and take out the first assignment. As I get started, Lucy goes to the kitchen.
"I'll make some snacks." she offers.
"Don't you have a cook to do that?" I ask without looking up. " Your family is rich like Bruce, right?"
"Yes, but I get my own snacks after school." Lucy replies from the kitchen. I hear the fridge open and then a few cupboard. I start speeding through problems.
"So, you said your dad would pick us up. Why didn't he?" I ask again.
"He said he would. But apparently he had another meeting and sent my nanny, Ms. Nuatcherdux, instead." Lucy says, slightly annoyed.
"And, your mom?" I pry. Lucy comes back over with two plates each with a sandwich, chips, a pickle, and a glass of milk.
"On a business trip, to Asia." She answers, setting the plates down. "Bon a petit."
"Can you look this over? I'm almost done." I say after taking a bite out of my pickle. Lucy skims over the page, going over every step in the equations.
"Jason, these are right." Lucy states, astonished, "I was away for ten minutes and you got this assignment done, correctly." She bites into her sandwich. "Huh."
"What do you mean, 'huh'?" I ask.
"How do you have bad grades, if you know what you're doing?" She asks me. I shrug.
"I don't get my homework done on time, as you can see." I state, motioning to the floor strewn with papers. "And I don't get enough sleep at night. That's why I sleep during work time."
"Oh, so you only have late homework to turn in. No studying needed?" Lucy asks.
"Exactly." I agree. Lucy thinks for a moment, eating a few chips in the process.
"Well, I think we should start with the assignments that should have been turned in a long time ago and work back from there. Sound good?" Lucy decides. I nod and start shuffling through the papers.
"Okay, this one. . . this one. . . definitely this one. . ." I mumble to no one in particular as I sort every other paper in front of me. "I think these are the ten latest and these," I say, heaving the second stack of papers onto the coffee table, "are the top twenty in the middle."
"I'm guessing these left," Lucy gestures to the pile left on the blue carpet.
"-are from last week." we finish together.
"Jinx!" I yell first, "You own me a soda." I say, proud. She gets up without hesitation.
"I'll be right back. You start on the Top Ten Latest while I get the 'soda' as you call it." Lucy teases. 'So cheeky.'
Eleven assignments later, I get stuck. Lucy comes over from her English project because she sees me stare at one paper for at least three minutes.
"Stuck on something?" She asks looking at the paper.
"Yeah, this is an art project. We were picking a painting to do it on in class. I picked a painting, but I have to look at it to finish the project." I explain.
"Which picture did you decide on?" Lucy asks.
"The one called Starry Night." I answer.
"We have that one!" Lucy tells me.
"Really? Can I see it?" I reply.
"Yeah. It's in the library." Lucy grabs my hand and pulls me towards the hallway.
"Wait," I stop her, "I might have other things I'll need to research for, so. . ." Lucy catches on and picks up the smaller stack of papers.
"So let's move there." She says, setting her plate on top of the papers. I mimic her and follow her through the house.
I couldn't have it where Jason isn't smart. He is. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Yes, Lucy is a sweet heart if you haven't noticed. Bad boy/Sweet heart cliche. It happens even to Jason.
