You Got What I Need (Chase)

Feb. 11, 2025

Jace liked school. Really, he did, but he kind of had a hard time with the studying part. He liked school because he enjoyed getting to know new people, pulling pranks and messing around. He normally did all right on his assignments on stuff, but he also had a tendency to get distracted and not do his work until the last minute. So it kind of stressed him out, when he thought about it. Which was why he tried not to think about it. Which caused a problem when he didn't turn in his assignments. He had a major assignment coming up in Defense Against the Dark Arts, one that he totally forgot about until the professor mentioned it a few seconds before they got out of class. Crap. 

Jace stood up, trying to think of who he could go to for help about this, when he saw a familiar face. Chase! They'd been in the same year and house at Ilvermorny and Chase was one of those people who used to help Jace a lot with his homework. They hadn't really talked a lot this year, but Jace could really use his help now, not that he'd really ask for it. He approached his old friend. "Hey Chase! How are you doing? I never see you now that we're not in the same house anymore," he chuckled.

"I know right?" Chase rubbed his head awkwardly and laughed slightly. "Ever since I was sorted into Ravenclaw here." He then gave a small smile. He remembered all the times he used to help Jace and it was something he kind of missed. Maybe he could start doing study groups and tutoring? The more he thought about it, the more excited he was to tell the idea to Jace so that he could help him like he used to.

"You know, maybe I could start tutoring you, or a study group? It'd be a great idea in order to see each other more--and for me to be able to help you!"[/color] He gave a huge grin and perked up with a huge grin. He seemed almost to have his arms crossed behind his back slightly, rocking on his heels and toes, needing to fidget a little every once in a while.

Jace rolled his eyes, grimacing a little when Chase agreed about them not seeing one another since he got placed in Ravenclaw. "It's the worst. I mean, I know we probably have some of the same classes, but I just don't see you anymore." Jace used to feel like they both helped one another. He convinced Chase to have fun every once in a while and Chase helped him with his work. Now neither of them were doing either thing. 

Then Chase mentioned tutoring Jace or starting a study group. Jace laughed, realizing that apparently Chase saw through him right away. Either that or he just missed spending time with Jace. "Sounds like a good idea to me!" He chuckled, "Though the more people attend, the less breaks we can take, and I know our breaks were your favorite part," Jace teased. He figured Chase hadn't hated it before when he convinced him to take breaks, but the thing was, Jace couldn't sit down indefinitely. Breaks were necessary when it came to him. "You always know how to explain things so I understand better," Jace muttered with a little chuckle.

"I know right? It's like...everything's shook up. I never see anyone anymore. I don't even see my twin brother Blake all that much." He had a faint frown. He'd hoped that his twin would be in the same house he was but it seemed even Hogwarts couldn't make that miracle work out at all. He gave a faint sigh with his smile. At least he could reconnect with folks between classes but it wasn't the same.

"Maybe make it a three-person study group if we can find my twin Blake, eh?" He winked. "Or maybe if I can find one other person even if it isn't Blake, yeah? Someone that's struggling with possibly same subjects?" He tapped his chin. "That's cause I know it sucks when one doesn't understand something. I was certainly on the receiving end of that a few times at Ilvermorny."

Jace shook his head along with his friend, "I know. Don't really like that part of it, but this castle is awesome. There's so much to do and see here. Not sure I can learn everything about this place in one year," Jace admitted, the challenge making his eyes glint with excitement. He didn't know if he could learn everything, but that wasn't stopping him from trying. He loved this place and was investigating it every chance, which probably had something to do with his slightly lowering grades ...

He nodded at Chase's suggestion, "That sounds good to me! It's nice not being the only one that needs help," he answered with a smirk. Then he shrugged, "Finding someone else would probably work too. I'll leave that up to you, since you probably have some people in mind or something." Maybe he didn't, but then again, it might be easier for Chase to find people to help than for Jace to find others who were struggling a bit.
