A deep sigh escaped the blonde-haired girl's rosy lips. "I know I told you this before..." Her voice sounded sad and a little bit disappointed. "But...I don't like to pry into a person's secrets. I rather patiently wait until the person is ready to share that personal information with me." 

She took a deep breath and continued. "Harley...I will patiently wait until you feel completely prepared to tell me about it...which I have a feeling it is related to the phone call you received earlier and with the "spider"...you just killed."

With every one of those learning aids, the studious girl explained each one of the steps of the scientific method to her friend. 

The blue-eyed girl would take turns between tutoring her friend and doing the Chemistry homework. Once she finished writing her paper, she checked it to make sure the assignment was properly done and send it to be printed.

"Nice tricks, Lena!", shouted Jason just a few steps away from the skatepark. "Come on girl show me what you got!", he continued in a half-teasing and half-proud tone. 

He felt proud of how good Helena had gotten at skateboarding during the past few months, gone was the little girl wearing a helmet, knee pads, and all kind of protective gear. With a nostalgic smile on his face, he remembered the image of Helena when she just started skateboarding.
