"That'll work. See you at three." Nathan smiled to himself, closing his eyes. This crush of his wasn't a good thing but he couldn't just make it go away. He was screwed

Brant left it at that. He stood up from his desk at home and headed into the kitchen to make a snack for three. "Alright…" He trailed off to himself, the rest of the sentence going to his thoughts.

Nathan laid down on his couch, watching a movie, and eating popcorn. When it got close to three, he grabbed his bag and hopped in his car. He stopped at Jack in the Box and ordered three burgers and three large curly fries and a milkshake. He hadn't eaten anything other than the popcorn all day. He pulled up to the lake and climbed out with his bag and food.

Brent was sitting with his back against a tree, scrolling through things on his phone when he saw Nathan. "Over here!" He yelled, waving a hand in the air. There were a few papers around him and a thick textbook.

Nathan made his way over to him and sat down. He pulled out his first burger and bit into it. "So what are we going over?" He asked with a mouth full of food.

"Well, the test is with something in physics that I don't know because I don't take it. So, we'll go over some of that then you can ask me anything else." Brent nodded, pointing to a page in the book.

(lol)
Nathan nodded, finishing off the first burger before starting to eat some fries. He sipped his milkshake as he read over the page. "I'm going to be honest, this doesn't make any sense. Is it too late to drop out?"

Brent hummed, biting his lip a bit. "Well, what motivates you?" He asked with a tilt of his head, sighing a bit.

"Not this." Nathan mumbled as he moved away from the book

He laughed in response and moved the book back. "Well obviously, like what do you like?"

Nathan shrugged his shoulders. "Play video games, fuck around. I don't know." He shrugged again

"Alright, what video games? Note that I am a nerd and don't know anything but undertale from my best friend."

Nathan shrugged again. "Call of Duty and stuff like that."

"… For some reason I was expecting that. Alright, uhh shit what's in call of duty, that's a shooting game right?" Brent tried to think than just shook his head. "insert super smart relation to video games and physics here."

Nathan narrowed his eyes. "Don't ruin video games for me." He shoved more fries in his mouth

Brent looked Nathan straight in the eyes. "It's better to get it ruined now before you become an adult and everything comes crashing down on you and destroying your hopes and dreams."

"Who hurt you?" Nathan laid a hand on his shoulder.

"Math." He sighed, pointing to the papers. "I don't want to be a physics teacher. I barely passed my own physics class."

"Then why are you teaching physics?!" Nathan shook his head at him. He offered him some of his fries

"It was the only teaching positon open." Brant shrugged. "And gods know I could use the money from working at a school like this."

Nathan nodded his head quietly. He drew his knees to his chest

"Alright, let's get off this subject." Brent coughed. "So any questions?"

"About what? The work? I'm still confused." Nathan chuckled.

Brent sighed and explained it in simpler terms.

"Okay. I might pass then. Or at least get higher than a fifty." Nathan grinned at him
