Midterm Hassles

Maggie

After our senior trip, we had midterms. How we did on our tests helped Nate and Pat decide if they let us travel somewhere for spring break or stay home. It was Nate and Pat’s rule. To them, education was important. They’ve tried to persuade Nash to get more education under his belt, but he always made excuses.

I didn’t understand his logic. Nash was brilliant and had potential, but he didn’t want to apply himself and had settled. Nate and Pat had furthered their education. What stopped him?

I needed to find out and talked to the source themselves.

I knocked on his door and opened it. Nash was sitting at his desk while working on something. /"Nash?/"

He stopped and lifted his head, then turned to me. /"Mags? Why aren’t you studying?/"

/"I was, but I needed a break. What are you working on?/" I walked over to him.

/"It’s something that I was working on./" He tried to hide the paper.
