Jasper sighs, looking at the problem before him over and over again, hoping that the more he reads it the more it'll make sense. Yet, everything about converses of Pythagorean Theorems sends his brain spinning.

Who in their right mind made math a necessary thing to learn?

None of this makes sense.

Comedians earn a lot of money. I can just drop out and become one...

Wait, or maybe a mime.

A mass of golden fur runs past Jasper to look out the window, standing excitedly on the sill with its tail wagging. Her bark bounces off each wall and travels through the houses entirety, somehow not gaining the attention of their neighbor.

He sighs again, giving one more glance to the problem before heading over to join his dog.

What are you looking at?

Outside, Willa wonders around her garden in a bright yellow sun dress, seeming completely carefree smelling all the marigolds and lilacs. She picks a few and lays them in a brown basket hanging on her arm but let's the bright red rose come up under her nose.

Woah.

Long chestnut brown hair falls down either shoulder, complimenting the creamy white complexion of her freckled skin. A small button nose, soft pink lips lifted up into a smile, and...her eyes.

They're—

She squints, looking up and meeting gazes with Jasper. Her foot immediately slips after attempting to escape, sending her falling backwards out of sight. Seconds pass by before she gets back up, runs through the garden to her back door and heads inside with the basket of flowers.

Besides a bruised tail bone and deflated ego, I'm fine.

Nothing.

No, nothing like it doesn't matter.

mhm sure

I'm not that clumsy.

i don't know if I believe that 😂

Believe what you want. I'm actually pretty good at balancing.

you'd probably fail the drunk walking a straight line test sober

How would you know?

just a guess

He pauses, wondering if the elephant in the room should be brought up or not. Though, it's not much of his business but curiosity wracks through Jaspers entirety.

so uh...i guess you aren't a hobbit allergic to the sun

And you're still a stalker. What were you doing being all creepy in your window for anyways?

procrastinating

On math?

no...

Neighbor Girl is typing...

*raises an eyebrow*

ok fine, half lie

i also went to see what Kona was barking at

Who?

my dog

Why'd you name her after a slushy cone truck?

she was abandoned behind a kona ice truck at a carnival like three years ago

i heard her whimpering so I went back there to check it out and there she was

i showed my foster mom at the time and she let me keep her

What kind of dog is she?

a golden retriever foxhound mix

Aweeee, I always wanted a golden retriever.

yeah, because of her breed mix she has a brown eye and one blue one

Jasper waits on a reply, tapping each finger in rhythm across his desk.

Really??

yeah, she's beautiful..

🥀

What was Jasper so curious about?

Has anyone ever seen a Golden Retriever Foxhound Mix?

Did you ever see or own a dog with two different colored eyes?
