Study, study, study (open - library - tag Henry, Clementine or Sophia)  
Grace was not a fan of the multiplication tables.

They weren't hard just monotonous. Math sucked. So did math homework but if she didn't do it she wouldn't be allowed to watch TV or go hang out with Kamekona and play cards when Danno had work.

She heaved a sigh and refocused on her math paper, sort of, she periodically looked up and glanced around as though looking for rescue. Rescue from the nines tables.

Henry had his book with him. He was supposed to be studying for English, but he didn't want to. Besides, his book on fairy tales was in English. That counted, right?

He was walking by the table where the girl sat when he saw the multiplication table. His nose wrinkled. "Math. Gross."

"Agreed," but at least she only had a few more to do. "That looks like a cool book."

She gave the boy an assessing look, he was sort of familiar.

"Do you go to the school?"
Henry Millsbelievesthebook on January 10th, 2013 04:20 am (UTC)
He nodded. "Yeah. I'm in fifth grade. And thanks." Henry looked at his book with a fond smile. "It's my favourite book. Has a lot of cool stories in it."
dannolovesmedannolovesme on January 10th, 2013 04:26 am (UTC)
"What is it?" She liked to read, it was maybe her favorite thing.
Henry Millsbelievesthebook on January 10th, 2013 04:43 am (UTC)
Henry walked up to the table and put the book on the tabletop, then opened it. "It's a book of fairy tales. Only these are the real ones that happened to real people."
dannolovesmedannolovesme on January 10th, 2013 03:35 pm (UTC)
"Real fairytales?" Was that like how there was a mermaid here, but not at home.
Henry Millsbelievesthebook on January 10th, 2013 11:55 pm (UTC)
He nodded. "Yeah. You know all those stories about, like, Cinderella and Snow White and all of them? They're based off of real people from a different world."
dannolovesmedannolovesme on January 11th, 2013 04:40 am (UTC)
"Oh," that was so weird. But she believed him, because she was a child and it made sense.
Henry Millsbelievesthebook on January 11th, 2013 04:46 am (UTC)
He flipped through the pages until he came to a page with a picture on it. He pointed at them. "They're actually my grandparents. Snow White and Prince Charming."

And Henry looked incredibly proud to say so.
dannolovesmedannolovesme on January 11th, 2013 05:09 am (UTC)
She stared at him wide eyed, then at the picture, then at him again.

"You're Snow White's grandson." Wait... did that mean he was a prince?
Henry Millsbelievesthebook on January 11th, 2013 05:13 am (UTC)
It was nice to actually talk to people who didn't look at him like he was crazy or who told him he needed a psychiatrist. He nodded again. "I know it's sounds really weird, but it's true. I only found out like a year and a half ago when I found this book."
dannolovesmedannolovesme on January 11th, 2013 05:35 am (UTC)
"How come you didn't know?" That seemed like a good family story.

Sophia Peletier [TWD]: ; profile picranthewrongway on January 10th, 2013 04:11 am (UTC)
Sophia sighs heavily, putting her pencil down. She hates social studies. Her entire world is gone AND she's dead, so what's the point? She's never going back to her world.

She still doesn't understand why she even has to GO to school.
dannolovesmedannolovesme on January 10th, 2013 04:18 am (UTC)
Grace looked over at the sigh that echoed her own, there was another girl at the next table over.

"Math?"
Sophia Peletier [TWD]ranthewrongway on January 10th, 2013 04:19 am (UTC)
Sophia heaves a heavy sigh. "Math's next. This is social studies. I think it's just as dumb though."
dannolovesmedannolovesme on January 10th, 2013 04:20 am (UTC)
"Oh," Grace scrunched up her face. She sort of liked social studies. "Social studies isn't as bad as math..."
Sophia Peletier [TWD]ranthewrongway on January 10th, 2013 04:23 am (UTC)
"What kind of math?" Sophia asks. That definitely mattered.
dannolovesmedannolovesme on January 10th, 2013 04:32 am (UTC)
"Multiplication." She said the word like she was saying something totally disgusting.
Sophia Peletier [TWD]ranthewrongway on January 10th, 2013 04:40 am (UTC)
Sophia wrinkles her nose. "At least it's not fractions. I'm not very good at those."
dannolovesmedannolovesme on January 10th, 2013 03:34 pm (UTC)
"Fractions are okay, at least those I can see." Like half a pie, versus one eighth of a pie. Max had explained fractions to her.
Sophia Peletier [TWD]ranthewrongway on January 10th, 2013 07:08 pm (UTC)
The easy ones she gets. But multiplying and dividing them...nope.

"My name's Sophia," she says, realizing she never said.
dannolovesmedannolovesme on January 11th, 2013 04:38 am (UTC)
Grace hasn't gotten to that part.

"Grace. Do you go to the school?" The other girl must be in a different class.
Sophia Peletier [TWD]ranthewrongway on January 11th, 2013 02:40 pm (UTC)
Sophia nods. "I'm in fifth grade. I think I've seen you in the cafeteria sometimes," she realizes.
dannolovesmedannolovesme on January 12th, 2013 03:26 am (UTC)
"Probably, I'm in third grade." But there were that many kids in the village so maybe the age difference wouldn't matter.
Sophia Peletier [TWD]ranthewrongway on January 12th, 2013 06:03 pm (UTC)
"Do you know Clementine? She's from my world. I think she's in second grade though." But maybe they had recess together.
