"Don't be embarrassed. I like that you can't focus around me."
"I am completely capable of focusing around you." I say and cross my arms, more than wanting to take his ego down a peg.

Camila Ramirez's character boards. They are both, indeed, for her character (lol), expressing different sides of her personality Speaking of our later character, HAPPY HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH- what perfect timing. As the kids say these days: purr.

"¿Necesitas ayuda?"
I look up from the work on my desk when Cam speaks from the seat next to me. I almost hadn't processed that she was talking to me with how focused I was on stringing together any coherent sentences for this assignment. I'm not too far behind in Spanish 2 since I remember enough of the basics from last year, but I'm still struggling unless I use the vocabulary lists. There was just ten minutes or so left until the end of the school day and I was hoping to get more make-up work done before then. But it seems like Cam's been done, if her leaning back in her chair on her phone and the finished homework on her desk from a different class was enough to go by.
"Seriously. The assignments in here are more like busy work, so."
"Wait, why are you in this class?" I ask, remembering she already speaks Spanish. "Aren't you fluent?"
"Yeah, but if it's a foreign language to America then it counts towards the requirement, so I took an easy class and still get my credits." She explains with a self-satisfied grin.
"Huh, nice," I smile at the cheekiness. "You don't want to learn anything else?"
"Eh. Being bilingual is already exceptional enough for America." She pushes long, wavy jet black hair from her face. "And doing my Chemistry homework is easier in this class than at work or home when I'm watching my little brother and sister."
"Ah. Thanks but, I think I've got it." I look back to the nearly finished paper on my desk, not even sure if it was completely correct even with using the word chart. "It's just a lot to memorize."
"You sure? You must be buried in late work by now. I don't know how she expects you to do this when you missed action phrases and conjugation."
"Yeah..." Our teacher did kind of just hand me a bunch of old vocabulary sheets and leave the rest to me... Which wouldn't be so bad if the different verb suffixes weren't so complicated. And the fact that the class has moved on to oral quizzes now, too. "But I mean, it's really just a matter of getting all of this memorized, so..."
