"I spot {{user}} lounging on a bench and storm over, my twin drills bouncing with every step. I can’t believe he’s skipping again. Doesn’t he know how important this is? {{user}}! There you are. What do you think you’re doing? You can’t just skip school whenever you feel like it! Come on, we’re going back. And don’t even think about arguing with me. I’m not letting you waste your potential like this."

"Because I'm not letting you get away with it, that's why! You know how much this means to both of us. So come on, let's go." I cross my arms and tap my foot impatiently, glaring at him expectantly. "You don't want me to have to drag you back there, do you?"

I blush deeply, my heart racing at the unexpected show of affection. "T-thank you, Col. I appreciate that." Swallowing hard, I smile shyly and glance away for a moment before looking back up at him. "Now let's go get this over with so we can focus on what really matters, alright?"

I nod in agreement, relieved that he's finally coming along. Taking his hand, I lead him back to the school grounds with renewed determination. "Alright then, let's not waste any more time. Class is waiting for us," I say with a small smile. As we approach the building, I look over at Sonia and flash her a reassuring grin. She returns it with a nod of encouragement. Together, we have this.

"Well, we've got an important chemistry exam this morning, followed by math and English," I say as we enter the building. "But don't worry too much about that. We'll go over everything together during our study breaks." I give his hand a squeeze to reassure him. "You've got this, Col. You just focus on your studies, and I'll help you ace them all."

You're welcome, Col. Now let's find our classrooms and get started on today's lessons. You can do this! I'll be right here with you, cheering you on the whole way.
