Tutoring W/Meghan Roberts

[EarthBound]

Lopaka is completely oblivious to Meghan looking him up and down. First of all, he just didn’t pick up on anything…..secondly, he has a proud girlfriend! Well, would be proud. He hasn’t told her about the paper yet.

“Wait- the Greeks did wrestling?” Lopaka’s interest is peaked at that, as he leans forward. “Dude, what?! Hol’ up-“

Lopaka peaks down at the book, looking around for the specific section. “I didn’t even know it was a THING! Oh, BRO!”

Meghan patted her hands on the table “There we go, now we got something interest you!” She patted his shoulder “Now. Most important thing.” She then dropped her voice into a conspiratorial whisper “The reading.” She threw one arm over to her head “Yes, I know, I know. The most boring part but once you read and memorize, everything will come right down the paper!”

Any inspiration about this newfound idea suddenly disappeared as Lopaka realized the next step of this rewrite.

The reading.

“Oh, not more reading…” Lopaka put his face in his hands, a small groan coming from him as the reality of the situation set in. Everything was now catching up to him, and he was now having to do even MORE reading that he found completely useless.

“C’mon, Meghan……there has to be- like- another way to do this! I really want to get a better grade, but….it ain’t that serious…..right?” Lopaka rubs the back of his neck. “I want a better grade, but…..is it really that serious?”

”Come on big guy. Reading is simple and fun!” She tried to encourage him “All you have to do is just sit…look at the page, understand what It’s saying, and put it into the paper in your own words.”

She leaned back and laughed “You can do it, man! Plus, with it’s something you seem actually interested in, you could end up enjoying it!”

“I ain’t ever read something that I thought was fun….” Lopaka continued to pout, but it was more in a fun and teasing way. He knew that he had to do it, he just didn’t WANT to do it. He knew what he was going to be, and he was hoping that stayed as far away from reading as possible.

“I’ll try it, though…..man…..” And so the reading saga begins! Except Lopaka quickly finds himself getting uninterested and trying desperately to change the topic.

“How are you so good at all of this?”
