"The key is to know that there are four types of pathogenic microorganisms" I explain skimming the first flashcard in my hands
"Four, got it..." Sally nods
"Help me here, parasites..." Charles whispers
"Fungi" Ned continues
"Uh, viruses..." Cindy's next
"Oh! oh! bacteria!" Abe finishes
"See? It's just four, not that bad, huh?" I smile, sandwiched in the middle of all of them while we walk to the bleachers outside
MJ stops in her tracks and rolls her eyes "Guys, that's just one question of the sixty in total only for Science shit"
Charles slaps his hands in his legs "And my self-confidence just dropped"
MJ snorts walking again "Good"
We slower our pace once outside in the field. Today is a somewhat sunny day which makes everyone in Midtown stride outside to enjoy the day. Everyone slump in the different levels of the bleachers while they take out their respective lunches. Ned sits beside me offering me some Doritos from one of his ziplock bags. My eyes are glued in the white flashcards, 34 more to fill.
"Tannie, where's Peter?" Cindy's voice catches my attention and everyone else's too
"Uh, he's with Tiny... talking about an upcoming project"
"He's not gonna bail out of us again, right?" Charles mumbles focused on his food
"No, he's not" I shake my head and hand the already filled flashcards to MJ
"I heard you went to MIT this summer" Abe mentions
So the break went by with full anecdotes of how MIT teaches, how the classrooms are, teachers and even curricular matters. It was a nice distraction for me, reliving those moments was quite relaxing although Ned, well... I guess Peter told him what happened or at least part of it because he was sticking by my side more than he always is. He offers me water, food, he asks me if I need some air and before I can even say no he starts moving his hands to fan me. Not that it bothers me but... feels weird.
"Ned..." I mutter
"What? you feelin' bad? I can te-"
I stop in the middle of the crowded hall and squeeze his shoulder "I'm ok... I was going to ask you if you had a spare pencil because I forgot mine..."
He sighs smiling at me "Sure! yeah, I'll give it to you when we settle in"
"What did Peter told you?" I whisper eyeing if no one is eavesdropping on us
"Nothing"
"Oh, ok... then I suppose you like babysitting me?"
He twists his mouth "...He told me that you went through a bad time this past Saturday"
"Did he tell you what happened?"
he hesitates and then leans to side "...That you killed some bad people..." he exclaims in a whisper
I stare at his soft eyes, he's trying to be as tactful as possible "I did"
'But you're strong, little bean'
"...but I'm ok. Yesterday I was meditating alone. It helped me a lot"
"He also told me you got shot... and I'm quoting here 'the wound was this size' " he gestures with his finger and I only shush him pushing down his hands
