Text Cut: Salllll

Textbook. That was rather handy. Unfortunately, it was also rather large and troublesome.

Friends were also rather handy. Especially friends that had textbooks. Sal was definitely one of those friends ~~now~~.

Ellie leaned over slightly to ~~copy~~ look off of Salander's parchment. And she followed his example.

Text Cut: Math. That.

Sometime, while doing all that ~~obnoxious~~ math, Ellie took to biting her lip. Unsurprisingly, too. But, she stopped once she was finished and pushed her parchment over to Salander. "Like that?" Sure, Hadley could probably tell her just as well. But Hadley was being a grumpy gills today.

Ooooh, Sal got zero? Yes, Hadley, what did that mean?

In fact, what did any of this mean, really? Tell us that.
