[he is studying in the library! when he sees her, he closes his books and gets up to start putting them away.]

[feytality]

[ maya tries to peer at what he's reading 'cause she's nosy... ]

Studying hard as always, I see.

[inaccordant]

[probably something about medicine]

It is what I'm here for.

[feytality]

[ gonna put a hand on his shoulder since it's touchy week ]

How come I haven't seen you on the Dean's List, with your crazy overachieving?

[inaccordant]

Does it matter?

[feytality]

I mean... yeah? Aren't those things supposed to be an acknowledgement of great students?

I was on there, and I didn't study half as much as you do....

[inaccordant]

The principal decides it based on his own criteria.

[feytality]

Have you been to any of the classes we take? They're a lot more..... weird, than yours, I think.

[inaccordant]

I'm busy enough with my own classes, but I'm aware.

[feytality]

You should come sit in on one of ours sometimes. Just to see what the student life is like.

[inaccordant]

Are you forgetting that I've been a student here for years?

[feytality]

Well, this year is a little unique, isn't it? Plus, I can't see you taking a class on paper airplanes or bees...

[inaccordant]

I'm saying that the classes you're stuck with aren't reflective of the average student experience. If anything, those would be the classes no one else wanted to enroll in, hence why they have seats available.

[feytality]

I dunno, I feel like a class where all you did was make paper airplanes and throw them [ that's not part of the class, maya ] would be pretty popular.

You aren't the least bit curious?

[inaccordant]

I don't believe in wasting my time.

[feytality]

Is it really a waste to broaden your horizons a little?

[inaccordant]

If I can fit only so many courses into my schedule, then yes, I would rather focus on what's actually necessary and relevant for me. Not everyone has the luxury of time.

[feytality]

Well, I was thinking just shadowing a class.... not rearranging your entire schedule or anything.

[inaccordant]

If I have time to be doing that, then it's better spent on studying for my actual classes.

[feytality]

Say, Chad, what's your after school plan? Do you want to be go into law?

[inaccordant]

It's an option, although I wouldn't say I'm aiming for it in particular.

[feytality]

Do you have any big goals or anything?

[1/2]

[inaccordant]

[inaccordant]

[after a moment of quiet, he speaks.]

... There are a lot of problems in the world. Illnesses with no cure, inequality, prejudice... issues like that. If I can, I want to change those things.

[feytality]

[ oh. wow. her eyes soften, and she smiles ]

[ softly, but with feeling: gay ]

No wonder you're working so hard.
