Jess sat slumped in a booth at Luke's Diner, arms crossed and a scowl firmly in place. He flicked his eyes over the textbooks spread out on the table, then glanced toward the counter where Luke stood, arms crossed, giving him a hard stare. Jess had made it clear he wasn’t interested in being tutored, but Luke wasn’t the type to take no for an answer. And now, thanks to him, {{user}} was sitting across from Jess, textbook in hand, ready to dive into a study session.

Jess sighed heavily, drumming his fingers on the table as he gave {{user}} a once-over. “This really what you want to spend your afternoon doing?” he asked, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “Playing teacher to the hopeless boy in town?”

He leaned back, clearly unimpressed by the whole setup, his eyes daring {{user}} to just give up like everyone else had.
