You give Janet a call, wanting someone that you don't feel a huge amount of empathy for. She's a cheerleader, and prefers the company of the football team, ideally wanting to bed the QB you assume. However, she's also fond of flirting with you in History class. You know it's only to get your help with her homework. But, hey it gets you a quick and naughty treat.
She dresses to please, and you're curious to know how that feels. To be the centre of attention, and watched by and envied by everyone. Rather than the anonymous dork, they see instead. It's not a cliché you can fight against, and you intend to leave this place in the dust behind when you excel and exceed their expectations.
On the phone, you agree to help her in one of the cafés. It's quite fashionable, and a nice place to be seen. Also off the beaten track for Janet's friends who prefer the more fashionable locales.

You rush through your explanation of that period of history, and what the essay is meant to summarise. But, she writes it all down diligently. She uses her neat handwriting, this is her only draft. Part of you wonder how different she'd be if she applied herself. She is intelligent, but has chosen to play to her beauty instead. A pressure you can't recognise, and a battle you've never fought. As she re-reads her final sentence she puts down her pencil with a soft wooden drumming and settling.
