That looks like pretty heavy reading.

[Not that she'd know, she is a crap reader.]

[He looks up and grins a little sheepishly.] Well, it's not supposed to be. It's all high school level math, science, and reading. Just, I never went to high school and I didn't finish middle school, so... it's kinda reading like a foreign language to me.

Then we have something in common, you and me. I didn't manage to pick up much in school eventhough I went.

Yeah? You seem like the type to enjoy knowing stuff. My little brother's like that.

I figured now that I'm gonna be in one place for a while, I can try to get my GED. Get a real job. Not that hustling pool isn't fun and rewarding. [He smiles.]

If you need help...I'm not the best to ask. But I can recommend tutors.

[Takes the cup appreciatively and smiles at the offer.] I'll take all the help I can get. I'm just on the introduction section and I already feel like I'm in over my head.

I can help with literature, that's about it. Though with anything biblical, I turn to Guriel and Ben. And I know Ben's good with computers and math and stuff.

She leaned back on the bar, just watching him for a short while.

"What is it that you are reading so intently?"

"It's a study guide for a test," he answered without looking up. He reached for his beer, reading over the words that kinda, sorta made sense.

I am so sorry, I got so sick and just got around to being sort of better

"I see, what type of test may this be?" She wiped down the counter, then refreshed the peanuts as well. Moving to stand in front of him a moment later.

"Can I get you anything?"
