fight until the end

I am so into that idea.  Let’s go.

Thank goodness.

Hey, it’s just a fact.  But you’re welcome.

[He grins at Jackson, before checking the time on his phone. He sighs.] I can’t believe I’m saying this -- but you want to skip class and get tacos?

Right.  Because you’re smarter than everyone there.

Yeah, I guess. Thank you.

Because you’re smarter than everyone there, including the professor?

No. I was thinking more along the lines of “most of this just seems like common sense, so why do I actually need this class.”

It being almost over is kind of a bright side.

There you go!

…I guess I should listen to you more.  I can’t believe it took me eighteen years to figure that one out.

That makes two of us.

What did I learn again?

That you should listen to me more.

Congratulations to you!

Look at the bright side: at least you learned something from this experience.

You were right.  You win.  Happy?

Very, actually!

I told you the class was a bad idea.

[Jackson laughs.]  That’s why you’re the genius of the group.  It’s my free period, but I am ready to be done with class today.

Hardly. [He laughs, shaking his head.] And, you know, I don’t actually disagree with you. I’m kind of over classes today.

[Jackson slides into the seat across from Danny and grins.]  What are ya working on?

English homework. I wanted to get it out of the way before I end up swamped with assignments. [He finishes up the correction on his homework, before setting the notebook down and looking up at Jackson.]
