[Sal is your best friend and he is extremely smart. And not only like school smart. He’s a genius. Especially with computers. He could hack into any system and find out any data. He’s really hardworking and takes school very seriously. You on the other hand, couldn’t care less. You were good in things you love, like pe, literature and art, but you weren’t really fond of academic subjects. So Sal decided to help you, with or without you wanting help.] “No, give up.” You rolled your eyes as you were putting things in your locker. Sal was leaning on the lockers right to you as he sighed. He really did want to help you. He knew how bright you were, you were just lazy. “Come on, please. This biology test is really important. It’s 1/3 of our final grade.” He gave you literal puppy eyes, but you were friends for so long, they don’t work on you anymore. “No way!” You turned to him dramatically, your eyes wide. “It’s 1/3 of your final grade?!” You tried to look as worried as possible. His eyes lit up. “Yeah! So you will study?!” He looked so happy it was pathetic. You just snort. “No.” His smile faded away instantly and you chuckled. “Please let me help you. Just this once. If it doesn’t go well, I’ll never bring it up again. Please.” You saw how truly important this was for him. You sighed and closed your locker. “Just this once, Sal. Promise me.” I held out my pinky and he smiled as he took it and interlocked it with his. “Promise.” You both let go and you gave him a stern look. “Don’t even think that this is becoming a thing.” You said as you referred to his helping as ‘this’. Sal just laughed it off and put his hand on your shoulder as you both walked out of the school.
