So... um.

I kinda fucked up. I failed four of my classes this semester... I was already pretty terrible at Algebra, but I also flunked Spanish II, World History, and Biology...

Ugh. What's the next step after this? I said I could handle all the superhero and Vegas stuff and school and I clearly couldn't...

[ It's also LOUD. ]

JASMINE TSUKUYOMI!

Aw crap...

It was pretty major, yes. They'd mentioned it to me right before graduation... I'm happy you did well in the classes you DID pass, but I'm a little disappointed at some of these. I understand we were under a lot of stress - especially at the end - but this is still a grave situation.

What is your plan from here, Jasmine? Obviously, this has to be addressed. Four classes is a huge number, and if they want to keep you for summer school, your superhero days may be coming to an end sooner than anticipated.

[ Very rarely does Lily actually lose her cool.

This is one of those times.

Be sure to save it for posterity, folks. ]

How do you fail half your classes?! I've been shoving books and work in front of you for weeks before we came back.

And you go and mention it on here before even bothering to give me a heads up?!

[jasminebloominginshadow]

You knew...?!

... They didn't give you a hard time, did they?

[kyoumibukai]

Um, maybe you need a tutor?

[audio]

[jasminebloominginshadow]

I... I mentioned it here because I need advice, okay?! I don't think things through very well...!

And I don't know how it happened! I was distracted by everything, I guess. Especially at the end!

[jasminebloominginshadow]

I think I needed one before to be honest. Always been bad at math...

[alilyinthemoonslight]

You could have at least told me! Mentioned something! I'm your sister, I--

[ Pause.

Wait.

That last part.

Dammit.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Hey hey hey! It is not your fault! Don't act like it is, because I'm NOT gonna let you do that, you understand?!

[kyoumibukai]

Well, no problem, just get one. There's always tutors advertising at my school. You could probably find one pretty easy.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

That may not be a bad idea. It'd be good if I could find one that's numbered, though...

[kyoumibukai]

Yeah, I guess so. Since that would make things a lot more easy to explain. Dunno what to tell you, though. Maybe make a post about it later?

[jasminebloominginshadow]

I guess.

I don't suppose YOU'RE available, heh

[peacefulwinter]

Yes, I knew. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, but... you didn't need me on your conscience. You have quite enough on your plate as it is, and I'm sure Lily won't be pleased at all, either. I'm disappointed in your performance, but it would be foolish to hold you to my standard, so I'm not sure that means very much.

I don't want you to worry about me. I'll manage, and they don't really like me anymore anyway. This is about YOU. Seriously, what is your plan? Do you still intend to go to Las Vegas again for part or all of the summer? CAN you?

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Well, the remedial courses don't start for another couple weeks. And one of them's schedule conflicts with the other. I'll have to repeat that class.

... I still don't like it, Winter. What I do has nothing to do with you. They're full of bullcrap.

[kyoumibukai]

ME?!

Haha, no way. Jeez. Plus, I'm just going into Junior year, I don't think I'd be much use as a tutor. I mean, I'm good at school shit, but I'm no good as a teacher.

I'm a bad role model.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Figured it was worth asking. Sorry.

[peacefulwinter]

A "couple of weeks" isn't a lot of time, Jasmine. We'd have to turn around almost immediately after we got there. Are you sure it's a good idea? And before you ask, there's no way in hell I am leaving you behind. If you're coming back for classes, we're coming back with you. I like you too much to let something get you while I'm not here.

I signed up for this. As a condition to take a team, I was supposed to help you keep up with your studies. I was lax in that duty, and I was reprimanded for it. Nothing against my grades, but it'll show up on my academic record; I pitched this as an independent study project, and it means that the results were less than perfect. They are totally within their bounds to report it as such. I don't really like a lot of them anymore, but that much is indisputable.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Oh come on! You and Lily were breathing down my neck! The only thing more you could've done was give me the goddamned answers.

We're talking mid-July here, Winter. That's... some time, isn't it...?

[kyoumibukai]

Aw, sorry, I'm the jerk here. I guess it's not always entirely obvious how much I am no good at positions of authority, ha ha.

[jasminebloominginshadow]

Well, this IS text. Not like we can know each other's tone.

[kyoumibukai]

Plus, after that first time I've tried not to post wasted on the network, so you can't see how much of a funhaver I am. :P
