2023 February:
JANE'S POV:
"Again, what am I supposed to do with this?" I asked looking at the equation from my notebook then at my phone screen where Walker was holding back his laugh.

"First you multiply then you add until it remains only the variable and the known after the equal sign and then you find the solution" Walker explained like it was the simplest thing in the world, I was not stupid even if my brain was too dumb for math, literature was more of my kind.

"Right..." I muttered blinking as I examined carefully the equation before me.
"I'm stupid, Walker. This is hopeless" I added sighing and putting my chin on my notebook only thinking of the satisfaction Mrs Gresley will have when she's gonna give me a huge D at the equations test paper.

"No, you're not. Come on jeans. You learned the lines faster than anyone from the set. Few equations can't be that bad" Walker encouraged me, but those lines were more simple and I knew my dad's books word by word so for sure it was easy-peasy for me.

"I'm not giving up on you, jeans" Walker continued as I smiled to myself before titling my chin up and looking into the phone screen at him. "Fine" I groaned.

I started the equation, first I multiplied which took three rows of my page then I added which was not so hard because addition was the easiest thing in math. Finally it remained only the variable and the known term after the equal sign. I had to divide to find out the X.

"Ready?" Walker asked noticing that I was
done with my work. I nodded a bit insecure: "Is the solution... 9?" I asked with my hopes up.
"That's correct. Good job, jeans" he smiled clapping his hands making me open my mouth wide, I was sooo surprised to see that I got the right answer.

"ARE YOU SERIOUS???!" I exclaimed a bit louder jumping off my chair and starting to dance victoriously making Walker laugh watching me through our facetime.

"Can't wait to see Mrs Gresley's face when I'll take an A at her stupid test!" I spoke with a satisfied grin. I was determined to prove to that old woman what I was capable of and that a math test didn't scare me, even if it actually did.

So that was what I had been doing all week until friday, everyday I would come back from school, do my routine, do my homework and try to find extra time to do equations because when something got in my head nobody was able to stop me. I kept thinking about Walker and he was so nice to teach me, he was really a good friend, I was very lucky to meet him on set and become friends even if at first we didn't really get along, in which I mean me due to our incident from an year ago, but everything turned out to be good. I started to call him dumb bumbler because to be honest it suited him perfectly, he was way too clumsy sometimes and made all of us laugh. And because I got him a nickname, of course he had to nickname me aswell. Jeans... seriously? Like man I don't know where you got that idea but it sucks very much. When I asked him, he said it rhymes with my name, beg your pardon? "Jeans" is nothing like "JANE". But I got pass that, it became funny so we started to use our nicknames more than often (Walker more frequently than me).

It was Friday and the test was knocking on the door, I was so anxious that I couldn't eat anything in the morning, mom wandering what was wrong with me but decided to let it go.

Good luck, jeans.
You'll nail it!🤞🏻✌🏻

Thanks. Hope so:))

I was smiling at my phone when my brothers decided to make the morning even worse.

"Why are you smiling like that?" Harley asked raising an eyebrow and trying to reach my phone but I was faster to put it back into my pocket and close the zipper.

"Not your business" I smirked getting up from my chair and saying goodbye to my family.

"Good luck today, honey!" my mom said from the kitchen, I smiled and waved before closing the front door behind me.
Let's do this...

TIME SKIP TO NEXT WEDNESDAY:
It was my third period for today and you can guess what class I had, math. And furthermore Mrs Gresley said that she will be bringing our test papers today... wonderful...

"I must say some of you surprised me in a quite good way" the teacher spoke taking out the tests from her purse and starting to give them out to us. As soon as my test paper landed on my desk I didn't know what to do, scream, cry or both at the same time, I was speechless for a second until Emma tapped my shoulder from behind.

"Jane? You okay?" she asked concerned of how I looked. I turned around to meet her eyes with the brightest smile I've ever had in my entire life.

"I... got... an A+!" I exclaimed in a whisper, Emma's eyes wide opened and her face lit up with such proudness.

"Aahhhh!" she giggled and clapped her hands but payed attention for Mrs Gresley to not notice us.

"I believe it's because of... your tutor..." Emma whispered with a smirk forming at the corner of her lips, I rolled my eyes before turning back to face the board. Yet she may have been right, I owned Walker a huge thank you.

When the bell rang I grabbed my stuff and ran in the hallway to my locker while opening my phone.

WALKERRRRRR

Jeans??
Something wrong?

Guess what just happened 😁😁😁

WHAT????

Mrs Gresley brought our test papers and I got an A+!!!😭😭

REALLY???? SO HAPPY FOR YOU.
But I knew that you'll nail it jeans😌

Well... kinda had help though.

Yeah?😏

You are a very good teacher, Mr Scobell.
(don't let that compliment get to your mind)

You are not such a bad student yourself, Miss Riordan.😏

Stop using that emoji😒

😏😏😏

While I was talking to Walker after closing my locker and walking down the hallway I didn't pay very much attention due to my eyes being glued to the phone, I bumped into something... no someone... and my phone fell to the floor.

"Hey! Watch where you're going!" I hear a male voice snapping at me as I take my phone, thank God it hadn't broken. Looking up I'm meet with a pair of brown eyes and black dark curls of long hair that reaches the shoulders.

"Jane..?" Mike said surprised with wide eyes scanning my face trying to believe if he really saw me. Yes, that Mike whom I've been friends with since childhood and I've got a crush (still do) like a crazy little girl.

"I thought you died" he said as his friends from the school lacrosse team burst out into laughter as well as himself. I sighed deeply walking away from the scene but still hearing them laughing, put the hood of my sweatshirt to hide my brown hair as I entered the library then I checked my phone to see notifications from dumb bumbler.
