[ hmm... not sure xD maybe it's history and they have to do a project about one of the historical disasters, like pompeii or something. kai has no clue o3o ]

(Ohhh, what about like a cultural project? I had to do that in one of my classes as a freshman. We could do like... ancient Greece xD)

[ suree. ]

"Well, research would be a good start," Rory said. An anomaly among teenagers, he actually liked using books when he did his research. They were more reliable than the internet, and he liked the feel of paper under his fingers.

[ omg, i was about to go to bed when i realized i hadn't even replied to these yet. ahh! after this i go to bed Cx ]

"Good idea." He whispered, pulling out a mac from his messenger bag and flipping it open. It wasn't twenty minutes later when he slapped it shut with a sigh, rubbed his eyes, and looked straight at the boy across from him who was reading. "Let's just agree on something. We both really hate this project, but we need to get it done as soon as possible. That way this torture can end for the both of us. So, I propose that we pick a smaller topic to do our research about, so that it's basically impossible not to get it done within the time frame and not do a good job."

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Rory glanced up and frowned. "What smaller topic do you suggest? This is a very broad subject."

Gabriel made a long noise and slammed his face down onto the table. "I don't know, I hate this class. I hardly pay attention anyway. Just pick something and let's try to get it done so we don't have to be punished over it." He sighed unhappily. "Why did she have to put me in a group where I'd have to work?"

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Rory raised his eyebrows at him. "So you're one of those kids."

[thehobbit9007]

"Perhaps. No, I am. I don't mean to be. It's not like I set out to be a failure. I just... Don't see the point, I guess." He trailed off with a frown. "But seeing as I'm in this situation with no out, I guess we'll have to do the best we can and call it done. It's better to gain some points than none at all."

[ should we skip somewhere? ]

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Rory leaned forward. "Look, I'm not going to drag you through this. You're either going to work, or I'm going to make sure you get the grade you deserve. Understand?" His cheeks turned red as he spoke, but he sounded confident.

Eyebrows raising, he pursed his lips and tapped idly at his chin with a finger. "...I see. Very well. Deal." Sitting up straight, he extended his hand with a slight smirk on his lips. "We'll see what the outcome is on presentation day."
