Math time shenanigans

Location: Math class

It's a bright and sunny weekday morning. The sort of morning one should be spending sleeping in, or failing that, outside playing with friends.

Sadly for all of you, you're in this classroom studying logarithms. (Well, except for those of you who are cutting class. Good luck when finals roll around!) Right now, you've been split up into groups of three and four and should be quizzing each other on the questions from the end of the chapter in your textbook. If you're anything like ordinary high school students, though, you're probably discussing something completely different.

Sora perked up from her communing with the maths book as they were joined by Suzaku's prince. That was convenient! With her head slightly lifted from the tabletop, she could see his working as he wrote, and her shoulders immediately fell in a melodramatic slump. Greeting forgotten, she mumbled, "Lelouch, you get it just like that?"

She sounded, if anything, as though he'd betrayed her and everything she stood for. So she turned to stare at Suzaku instead. "I thought you were exaggerating."

While Tsuki hardly saw much of a point in attending class here either, she still usually made a point to do so. At least, when she didn't have something more pressing she felt like doing. As it turned out, today had been one of those days. So she arrived to the classroom late, strolling through one of the doors without so much as a glance or acknowledgment of the teacher. If anything, her demeanor made clear she had no apology to make, but noted with curiosity the gathering around Sora.

...she was probably making a fool of herself, wasn't she?

"Are you having trouble with this?" she asked, as she walked over and stared down at the book Sora was so troubled by.

"No, he really is a genius," Suzaku said in a low voice to Sora and looked up when Tsuki came to their table as well. "Hello Tsuki," he looked back at Lelouch who could probably do these types of logarithms in his sleep. He didn't speak but his eyes asked for him, help?

Lelouch slid over a bit closer to Suzaku, both so that he could help him better, and so as to give Tsuki some space to sit if she wished. He didn't seem to take notice of her otherwise. He started to help Suzaku as the two girls talked.

Sora sat up properly when Tsuki arrived. Not for appearance's sake, but because otherwise she couldn't lean backwards to grin at her upside-down. The smile was still polluted with maths-related despair, but it was a smile nonetheless.

"A little," she admitted. "We finished one of the questions-" she held up the book and worksheet so Tsuki could see a lot of frantic scribbles in pencil, "- then we got distracted, and the teacher told us off. And this is really difficult." The last came out as a childish whine. She tapped the seat next to her that Lelouch had just vacated, radiating hope. "Save me, Tsuki?"

"Hello Suzaku," she replied to the greeting, as she took a seat next to Sora herself. She glanced at the question they'd completed, trying to make sense of how they'd gone about it. At the least, they'd managed to arrive at the correct answer some how, eventually.

"This is fairly simple once you get the basis concept," Tsuki said, as she placed a finger down on the next question in the workbook before beginning to give an explanation that was probably far more complicated than necessary.

Suzaku tried to concentrate on what Lelouch was explaining, it was ridiculously complicated though and Suzaku was having trouble focussing. He glanced to the side at where Tsuki was trying to explain the question to Sora, hearing the explanation the girl was giving Suzaku a headache. "I think you might need to explain it to Sora as well," he muttered to Lelouch.
