Who: Bridget and Nate
What: Nate is going to help Bridget out with her lack of Science skills.
When: Tuesday Evening
Where:The Library
Rating:SFW

There was something calming about the Library that Nate really liked. He couldn't put his finger on it, but it always seemed to calm him down to go and sit in between the books and just be alone for a while. Somehow he was always able to think things through better in the Library than anywhere else. And it didn't hurt that the chances of him spotting Dafne was higher than most places. She didn't seem to be there this time, however, so he found himself a quiet spot and got to work on his homework for the night.

After working for a good bit of time, he decided it was time for a little break to stretch his limbs. He got up from the table he'd been sitting at and headed over to a bookshelf, picking a book at random and leafing through it. Unfortunately it was a book that involved a lot more Warlocky things than he felt capable of handling, so he placed it back in its place with a barely concealed shudder. Deciding this bookshelf wasn't his speed, he turned and spotted Bridget sitting at a table on her own, working on her own homework and not looking overjoyed to be doing so.

After a brief moment of thought, he walked over to her. "It looks like you aren't having the best luck with that," he mentioned casually. He felt stupid for interrupting her when she was clearly hard at work, but didn't Evie say that one of the things a Head Boy did was help out other students with their work?

Bridget really liked studying; it calmed her down and gave her a chance to block out everything else and really get into thinking. Normally she would be thrilled to have a good seat at the Library but this Higher Sciences stuff was really messing her up! Usually she just plowed right through her homework, had a bit of tea in the town and then went to clean up her and Pen's room before bed but tonight was about serious focus. If she didn't get this stuff done she'd be almost a week behind and Professor Rowan already hated her as it was. Bridget sighed and put her face to her papers, arms stretched out in front of her. She was close to dozing off for a moment when she heard someone come up behind her.

”It looks like you aren't having the best luck with that,”.

Bridget snorted and rolled her head over and saw Nate behind her. Though she suspected a hint of a smile on his face she was happy to see him. Casually propping her head up on her hand, Bridget let out a small laugh and playfully winced. “I would say that luck has nothing to do with my relationship with Science this year.”

Ah, now there was something he could help with! "Science is a fickle master," he said with a smile, motioning to a chair next to her for permission to sit. "But I generally have an okay handle on it." It was one of his best subjects, but there wasn't any reason to brag. "What seems to be the problem? Maybe I can help." He slid into the chair and looked over at the redhead. Eveline would be so proud of him, he'd lucked into a situation that he wouldn't have any problems taking care of. It was possible that the Headmistress hadn't made a mistake of epic proportions in oppointing him Head Boy.

"If you want,that is. Feel free to tell me to bug off." He added as an afterthought.

“Help is always welcome,” she said as she pushed her books aside to make room for him. If Nate really wanted to help her struggle through the evil that was Science she wouldn't turn him down. As he joined her, Bridget pulled out her course syllabus and handed it to him with a faint smile on her face.

“Well, right now it's a lot of cellular stuff. Mitosis and stuff like that. Did you know that there are like six or seven phases? We're supposed to make diagrams. Diagrams!”

Her voice quivered a bit and she slumped back into her hand, eyes closed. “Please help me.”

She really seemed to be at a loss as to what to do. Try as he might, he couldn't keep a smile from creeping onto his face as she slumped back. "Is that the assignment? To make diagrams of a cell in mitosis?" He asked, covering his mouth with his hand to hide his smile. He didn't want her to think he was laughing at her. "That doesn't sound too hard, you just need to list the eight phases." He raised his eyebrows on the word 'eight'. "Is this a drawn diagram, or a three-dimension model?" He asked as he looked over her syllabus.

Nathan reached out and patted her arm fondly as he flipped the page. "Don't worry, we can work this out," he said. "You might even understand it by the time we've finished."
