Academy Mother
Chapter 11

'April'

Bones stood there looking across the room. Gaila was stretched out on the couch with her study material. Pavel was in his room though the door was open with his own material. These were common sights. Even Bones studying was very common.

What got him was that sitting at the other end of the table was Jim. He'd never seen her study all year.

Sure, she'd helped him, Gaila, Pavel, or the twins when they needed it but she'd never actually studied. So it was a novel concept.

"Why are you studying?" he questioned and they all looked at him. "I mean, you have the highest grades in the school though you've gotten the worst reputation as well… thanks to Uhura and your adrenaline junkie ways. So why are you studying. You're going to ace all of your exams."

"I just… I need to make sure I get good grades," she told him with a laugh. "Besides, I don't have the highest grades. I just have one of the highest grades."

"Yeah right, Jimmy-Girl. You are the smartest person currently attending the academy," he stated. She shook her head before going back to studying.

Sitting down beside her Bones began to study his own work. If she was going to study he decided he'd give her some time to study. He decided to order some of that old fashioned Pizza from down the street that Jim loved.

A meat lovers for the carnivores in the apartment and vegetarian for the twins and Jim who didn't eat many meat products if any.
