“I don’t know how you’re so good at this,” Davis commented as Caleb explained a math concept to him.  For the other man, it seemed so easy, but Davis almost felt like Caleb was speaking another language.  At least he was better than Davis’s professor, who wasn’t much of a teacher (or maybe Davis just wasn’t much of a student, at least in math).  “I don’t know if I’ll ever understand this stuff,” Davis sighed, running his fingers through his hair and adjusting his glasses.  Looking at his new friend, Davis commented, “I wish I had your brain.  Even the science stuff seemed easy enough for you to grasp once I explained everything a couple of times.”  They had already gone over Caleb’s science work, and now it was time for Caleb to help Davis.  But they’d been going at it for awhile now, and Davis was reaching his limit for how long he could study for.

"For the last time, Marls, no way!" Opal exclaimed with a smile as they shook their head, adjusting the ear bud in their ear and holding the phone closer to their lips when the din of the subway station threatened to drown out their voice, "There is no way in heaven or hell that I'm going to sit through an entire night of third-wheeling you and Jake. I know you're dying for me to get to know him better, but if Unique's out, so'm I." 

The brunette looked up as the subway arrived and they stepped up to join a car, standing near the doors when the doors opened. "Listen, I'll be home in half an hour, okay? Have fun getting ready for your date," Opal said as they hung up the phone. They were about to put it back in their pocket and unplug their headphones when the subway jerked unexpectedly, knocking the young adult back against the person behind them. 

Olivia glanced around the room, watching it slowly start to empty at the end of the party. Thankfully. She was done playing nice with people that were only here because they had similar bank account sizes to her family. Tipping back her wine glass, she realized it was empty, then realized she probably didn't need anymore. She was already swaying on her feet a little, and by the sneaking glances Christina was giving her, she was probably starting to act a little stupid. Turning her head towards her 'girlfriend', Liv smirked. "Bedtime now, huh baby?"
