Lucy: Naomi! Wait.

Lucy: Jesus, you're a fast walker.

Me: mm.

Lucy: um, you know well..

Lucy: I was wondering since I'm friends with your sister and all and that we used to be, uh, friends if you can help me with something?

Me: and what would this something be?

Lucy: ... Homework?

Lucy: yeah! Homework! Gee, maths is so hard.

Me: you were in my grade twelve maths class when you were in grade ten. I'm pretty sure you don't need help.

Lucy: okay! But I do need help with science. I know you're great at it.

Me: my house at five tomorrow.

Lucy: thank you!

Me: ...

Me: don't hug me.

Me: or try anything else.

Lucy: thank you Naomi.

Me: whatever.
