A/N: um... this may or may not be a cute and wholesome chapter
* * * *
Y/N, Brad, George, and Reece have decided to hang out at Blake's house seeing as it's the weekend. They're currently staying at the pool area whilst sat the bar. Blake allowed Brad to make drinks, because Brad was bored and wanted something to do.

"G, what's your answer on the math homework for number 22?" Reece asks before taking a sip of his mojito. "Fuck, this is good." he mutters under his breath.
"Err... here. I don't know if it's correct, though." George says as he hands Reece his math notebook before cracking his knuckles and sitting up straight. "Damn, this whole homework thing hurts my neck and my back."

"Damn, G." Reece says as he sees his answers. He immediately copies them and gives the notebook back to George as soon as he's finished.
"B, what's your answer in the chemistry homework?" Y/N asks him.
"Here you go." Blake says as he hands her his notebook.

Y/N mutters a small 'thank you' and copies his work.
"Wow. This is real friendship." Brad chuckles as he observes the four.
"We do this sometimes. We get together on the weekend and do our homework at each other's houses. We only do it when the homework's piling up." George explains.
"Oh. I see." Brad says, "I wish I could experience that."
"Experience what, babe?" Y/N asks.
"Y'know receiving homework and being able to work with some friends. I haven't done that in my entire life." Brad sighs as he continues to make drinks.
The four of them look at Brad and frown. They've never met someone who has never been to school before. They think things like that only happen in movies.
"Anyway, here are the drinks your parents wanted, Blake." Brad smiles a bit and hands the drinks to Blake.
"Yeah, I'll give it to them now." Blake says as he grabs the drinks and gives it to his parents.

"Blake's been gone for like, 20 minutes now. Where on earth did he go?" Reece asks his friends, but they all shrug.
"Maybe he went to the sauna room to relax." Brad suggests.
"Nah. He doesn't like the sauna that much. Plus, he didn't swim. He goes to the sauna room after swimming or working out." George says. "Maybe he went to the cinema room."
"Yeah, maybe. We're going to watch a film there, remember?" Y/N tells the three.
"Oh yeah. But it usually takes him 5 minutes to fix it up or something." Reece says.
"Well, wherever he is, he'll be fine. He has guards literally outside his house. He wouldn't go anywhere else. He would text us in the group chat if he went out and he didn't." Y/N says.
"I guess you're right." Reece shrugs and lets go of the situation.
"Hey everyone! Sorry I just got back. I've a surprise for Brad." Blake grins.
"You do? What is it?" Brad smiles.
"Well, my parents really liked the drink you made and since you technically don't work for your super rich uncle anymore, I suggested that you should work here. At first they said no, because they don't know you that well enough to trust you. I argued with them about that and I may have told them that you haven't been to school yet. So..." Blake pauses to look at his friends' faces.
"Well? We're waiting." Reece says impatiently.
"Yeah. So...?" George adds.
"...My parents will sponsor your schooling AND they'll let you work here in return so that you have money to provide for your family. They'll probably only need you for parties. They really loved the drinks you made for them." Blake smiles.
"Oh. My. God. Thank you so much!" Brad cries in joy and doesn't hesitate to give Blake a hug. Blake hugs back and beams. They pull away and Brad wipes his tears and he sits down for a bit to take in the news he just heard.
Y/N looks at Blake and beams. She stands up and gives him a hug, "You've made him really happy and seeing him happy, makes me happy too. Thank you for helping him."
Blake hugs back and smiles, "Hey, he's one of us now. He deserves it, anyway. After all the shit he's been through? He deserves to experience the good stuff."
They pull away from the hug and smile at each other.
There are always things that we take for granted. Sometimes, we don't realize that those things are what other people don't have. We take education for granted, but sometimes we forget that there are children all over the world who don't have the privilege to study; just like Brad.
