[Jude can only let out a deep sigh for a moment. And here he thought it was pretty difficult for someone to actually be held back.]

So... Great. We're not going to graduate together. [He doesn't want to blame her, but, well...] I thought I told you to study, like... over and over again.

I've even helped you study, or is that the only time you ever do it?

[She skips forward a bit and spins around so that she's no longer facing him. She links her hands together behind her back. They're shaking.]

Hehe, sorry...

I know, I messed up. What a disappointment, right? [She shakes her head and looks down, still not looking back at him.]

He said he should've known that...It would be hard for me to succeed at a normal school. [Wipes her eyes with her sleeve.]

I let him down and he thinks it's his fault.
