Jason shut the door behind him and sat in the offered chair as directed, he dropped his backpack on the floor between his feet. He smiled faintly and picked up the water bottle with a quiet thanks, twisting the cap open and shut out of nerves. "I, uh, wanted to apologize for skipping your class so much this semester. And, I'm sorry I've avoided talking to you ever since you got paired with my mom."
Jason paused and set the bottle back on the table, "I'd like to make up for it, and do better."
