Chapter 35 – Kit

January 25th, 2017

Riker had finished the French flashcards and moved on to coloring my geography maps for me. He was sprawled out on my bed surrounded by colored pencils and various maps. His inner child was showing again, because I don’t think I’ve ever seen him more concentrated on a piece of schoolwork than he was with that coloring. I kind of felt guilty about that.

“You know you really don’t have to stay. You’ve already done enough work to make up for the hour you took away from me.” It was my work. It was my problem to sort out how to get it all done, not his.

“I said I would help all night if that’s what it took for you to finish everything, so I’m staying.”

“Riker, seriously, you can go if you want. You hate doing schoolwork.”

“Seriously Kit, I’m going to stay. Now, what can I do next?”

I sighed and gave him my chemistry lab report to proofread while I moved onto my history paper. It wasn’t long before he had discovered three glaringly bad mistakes and had to work me through fixing them. It was nine pm when we had finally worked through all the chemistry issues and he dragged me out of the room again, this time to eat something, because somehow, we had both forgotten to eat dinner up until that point.

Then we were back in my room working on the history paper again.

I sighed heavily thinking about how much more work I still had to do. “I’m not going to finish all this. I’m twenty pages short and its due first thing in the morning and I still have that photography project to finish.” It wasn’t like I had procrastinated on any of this. It was just that I had been working a lot of shifts recently, and half these assignments had been handed out in the last couple of days. Everything had been under control, and then it hadn’t been anymore. I really, really didn’t like when I didn’t have my life under control.

“You’ll be fine, you’ve got plenty of time,” Riker said.

I scoffed. “By your standards, maybe.”

He smirked playfully and said, “Well lucky for you, I’m still here to help.”

He took my books and set to work on finding relevant examples and quotes for me to use while I carefully crafted my main points. He had cleared all the other work and notes off my bed and was laid out on it. The stack of books was on one side of him and I was sitting cross-legged next to him. His head was just barely touching my thigh as he read and marked pages of the books. Eventually he had, magically as far as I was concerned, gone through all the books and was now reading off material to me whenever I needed it. I would tell him what I was trying to get across in whatever section of the paper I was in and he would instantly pull a book back out from the stack and flip to the perfect example out of all the ones he had marked.
