Jack Sato
Turning to address Arden now, he smiled in thanks. "You're the best, Arden. I'll be sure to give you what I have some other time. I doubt you missed anything with how studious you are, but better safe than sorry." It was rare that Jack every got anything down that Arden didn't. In fact, even with how much attention Jack paid to his studies, Arden always seemed to one-up him. It wasn't surprising with how she always had her nose in a book, but Jack considered her an intellectual rival of sorts. An unattainable goal. That was just one of a few reasons why he liked having her around.
Now addressing everyone, he shrugs. "I don't mind if you want to come to my house today. There's room for sure." He wrapped his arm around Raziya's waist again, no longer needing to kick or prod anyone, and started walking out the room. "I'm done with school for the day anyway. Forget this... And if you're making food, Alex, you better be sharing with the rest of the class." Turning to face Raziya, he shook his head. "No clams, though. Not after the last incident. Never again after that..." He shivered in recollection of the great seafood date of 2014. An incident he never wanted to relive. So many clams... so... many... clams...
"A-Anyway, I'm going home now. Come with me now or forever wait outside my door with your puppy eyes begging to get in." And with that said, he left without the main group. They could catch up with him and Raziya if they wanted to hang out. It wasn't to be mean that he did this, but to actually get them moving.
