[ no wonder he gets so many boners, the world is full of girls who are smarter and better than him. ]
It's not boring. [ because it's educational and she's actually quite stoked about this class, it's like, a bajillion college credits out of the way if she passes — and she's herself, she's going to pass — and how dare he insult it. chuck makes a face, and five years ago she woulda stuck her tongue out at him too. but excuse everyone, she is an adult now — self proclaimed. ]
Can you ask your brother? And if he did, can you ask him if I can have his book? I'll buy it off him.
[Yeah alright no, sorry not sorry that he's laughing at that. If he hasn't taken it, then it's a sure as hell bet that Yancy didn't either. Because Raleigh's more or less following in his footsteps exactly, much to mixed reactions from the rest of the Beckets. Sometimes pride, sometimes irritation, sometimes annoyance, sometimes laughter.]
Definitely not. What about Jaz? Did you ask her, she loves that kind of shit.
Last I heard she wanted to do Debate, and they're the same time slot. [ and debate seems a lot more jaz than advanced math does, because jazmine wants to be a lawyer (she doesn't say so much, but chuck can tell — people who didn't fancy lawyer careers didn't fucking marathon law and order).
but chuck shrugs. though maybe there's one other favor she can ask him, since he proved so useless with her other request. ]
[Jazmine would do debate. Raleigh has to resist the urge to roll his eyes and it doesn't even occur to him that it's weird that Chuck knows this fact about his sister before he does.]
[ they have two cars, but one's an old '54 chevy that's in a constant state of disrepair and is in need of some tender love and care right now, based on how the engine whined last night. so herc is using the audi van which effectively leaves her carless — but what are good neighbors worth if not the occasional car ride?
she'll even flirt for it if she has to. twirl her hair and smile dazzlingly. ]
[Smiling at him like that and twirling her hair is so unChucklike that he gives her a weird look for it, ignoring the little butterflies that start flying around his stomach because of it because he's got a hopeless crush on her after like thirty minutes.
He's messed up in the head because he likes the snappy, waspish Chuck better than the sweet one.]

Yeah. You bet. Noon work for you?

[ and now she starts walking, and is close enough to her house that she can veer off at an angel that would be weird for him to follow her at. ]
See you, Rahleigh.
