He didn't really think that calculus would be that hard, at least not for him. Maybe for some people that were just taking the class because they thought that they could get away with doing nothing in it. He hated those people, especially when they begged him to give them answers to problems. He never did that since those people were usually the lazy ones who just didn't want to figure a problem out. Now, he'd tell people if they were right or not if they asked him but that was about it. Ok, so sometimes he would tell one of his close friends an answer after he knew that they had put a good effort into it but that happened very rarely. After all, Jordan was as good at math as he was and most of his other friends were too. Sometimes he'd tutor Anthony but that was because the kid had been home schooled and the stuff that he had to do he knew that some people in his class couldn't do. Sure Anthony was only a sophomore but he was rather attached to him. Of course, a lot of that had to do with Mike and he wasn't going to go there.
"The work probably isn't that hard it's just that you actually have to work at it. Then again, math is easy for me so maybe you better not believe that." He said and then laughed slightly before hearing that he might not have been the one to save her life if Jordan was along. She was right and after all, Jordan probably knew a lot more about cars then he did. But, he most likely hadn't been carrying around windshield washing fluid with him. "You're right about that but he wouldn't have minded fixing your car either. By the way, I'll give you a hind on how to tell us apart. Jordan is about an inch taller than I am." He said before smiling at her, he always was the short one. His brother was taller then him by about an inch and so was Jordan. But, he was taller than Anthony by a whole two inches although Anthony was two years younger than him. So did that really count?
"I'm sure that there's a way for you to do that. Like those people who are allergic to the sun don't go outside or if they do it isn't for very long." He said and knew that he'd go nuts if he was one of those people. He wouldn't be able to go out for his early morning jogs or afternoon naps on the beach. His parents would probably have to lock him in his room and bar the windows if they didn't want him going outside. "Parking lots are cool, until the seagulls come and start to sit on your car." He said and then thought back to the time that there'd been about five of them on his truck and he'd had to chase them away. After that he'd had to take his truck through the car wash for obvious reasons. "Ok, so you would rather go somewhere else. Well, how would you feel about going off to the beach with me? I haven't been there in a couple of days. I was thinking about bringing my puppy with but since you're going he can stay home if you want." He said knowing that he'd probably take his puppy out to the beach with him tomorrow if he went. After all, Brownie was a rather good swimmer for just being a few months old.

Cameron wasn't lazy in Math, she did all of her assignments by herself. She never looked at other peoples papers, if she needed help, she would ask the teacher. When she was in Colorado, she and her friends would tutor each other. "Math isn't that hard, probably because there is never an answer that could be right or wrong, it has to be right or wrong." You barely came upon a question where you had to think of your own answer. But she hated those questions. But, most of the time, there would only be one of them.
She might like Jordan when she meets him, but if he had fixed her car, she wouldn't have met Brenden, and she like him. "Well, even if he did fix my car, I wouldn't have met you." She shrugged. When she found out how she could tell them apart, she couldn't help but smile, an inch, that's all she had to tell them apart was an inch. "I'm sure there is something else that could help me tell you guys apart." In that case, she could only tell them apart when they were standing next to each other, it would be embarrassing calling Jordan, Brenden.
Even though she didn't love outside, she couldn't think of living life without going outside, it would be torture. She shook her head. "That wouldn't be very fun." That was true, you couldn't go to the park, or the beach, one of her favorite places to go. Seagulls weren't very fun, they were annoying. "I don't birds very much." Especially ducks and geese, they were evil. When you gave them food, and you ran out, they pecked you a little too much. Then he offered to go to the beach, it sounded fun, and she like puppies. "Of course, I would love to go to the beach. With you and your puppy."

She was right about that, usually there only was one answer and there was no guessing on if an answer was right or not. Since if you were not sure you could just plug the number into the problem and see if it worked out or not. The subject that he probably had the most trouble in was English since there was a ton of rules you had to remember and the sentences were almost the same but there was subtle little things that you had to look for which made the answer wrong. He didn't mind writing it just was when you had to tell what the sentence was and things like that. But, luckily for him he had friends who were a lot better at English and they explained things a lot better than the teacher did most of the time. Not to mention, he could call them up anytime and ask for help. He was certain that the teacher wouldn't appreciate him calling them up at midnight because he had a question.
"Yes, but you see I probably would have been with Jordan so technically you would have met me. I just wouldn't have saved you, Jordan would have." He said knowing that when Jordan was off of work there were only a few rare times when the two of them were not with the other one. Like when he just wanted to be left alone to relax but even then that would only last for a little while and he'd be calling Jordan up to ask him if he wanted to go somewhere. "I suppose that there is other ways but that is the only one that I an think of offhand." He said and knew that there was one other way but she probably wasn't going to figure that out. Since the lass ring that was on a simple chain that he never took off was almost always hidden away from the worlds eyes. Right now it was in his pocket since he'd been messing with the lawn mower and hadn't wanted the chain to get caught on something and break.
He smiled when he heard that she didn't like birds very much. She'd get along very well with Jordan. Even though he was just afraid of birds while she didn't like then. "I don't like them that much either. They're too loud and annoying not to mention some of them are rather aggressive. Like the goose at the golf course while stole my golf ball and wouldn't give it back." He said and thought back to that day, the ball had landed in the brush since he wasn't the best at golf and then the goose had taken it on him. Then when he'd been looking for it he found the goose laying next to a pond with a nest of golf balls underneath it. There'd been about twenty different colored ones around the bird. He wondered if they had gotten it off of the course yet since he wasn't about to go back there until they did.
"Ok then, well I have to stop and my house and get him then. So, are you just going to follow me or do you know where the beach is?" He asked as he dug his keys out of his pocket. It didn't matter to him but if she didn't know where it was she could just follow him since he didn't want her to get lost.

Her worst subject had to be Social Studies. It was too much guessing. Half the time, the answer was in the book, but the question was too confusing. English wasn't very easy either, she didn't like to figure out the differences between nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and other stuff like that. There was always a word that could be two or three, and it was too hard for her. She smiled at Brenden. So, she would have met them both, but Jordan would have saved her life, and Brenden still wouldn't have been a life saver. But it didn't matter anyways, because it had already happened. "I guess it doesn't really matter though, because you already fixed my car. It's not like you could go back and time, and bring him with you." She shrugged.
After seeing them both, she could probably think of other ways to tell them apart. There had to be something else, but until she could find a different way, she had to be careful of who she was calling Brenden. She hated birds. When she was little, her mom took her to the pond, and she was chased around for about ten minutes by a goose, her mom thought it was hilarious. Cameron, didn't think about in the same way. "I don't know about the birds here, but in Colorado, they are evil. They bite really hard too. But, your golfing story, makes me think they are mean here too. I don't know though." You barely saw geese in Colorado, you had to know where to go. Denver wasn't a place with bird, but there was a lot in the mountains, if you were lower, where the streams stopped, or slowed down.
She was getting really excited about going to the beach, she liked the lakes here, especially when the sun started to set. The reflection was really cool, not to mention beautiful. She always made sure she wore sandals, or any type of shoes, because the seashells hurt your feet when you stepped on them. She knew where the beach was, but she was going to follow him, she knew where it was, and she wanted to stop by her dorm to get her flip flops. "I'll meet you there, I'm going to get my flip flops, but where are we going meet?" There were a ton of different places at the beach, it was big, and if she didn't know where to find Brenden, it could take forever for them to find each other. Well, maybe not forever, the beach wasn't that big, but still, she wanted to know where to go.

He knew that it probably was a good thing that she hadn't met Jordan since he most likely was very hyper at the moment and he would have bounced up and down and probably acted like a five year old. Then he would have given her a bad first impression and he didn't know how things would have went after that. "Yeah, you are right besides, he's probably on a major sugar high at the moment and you don't want to see how he gets when he's like that. Although, you probably will sometime if you're around him long enough." He said and then smiled at her, he already liked this girl and he wouldn't mind if she decided to hang around with him a lot. It just meant that she'd probably realize that there was some things that he just held back from talking about. And considering that she had just moved here she wouldn't know about the one thing that he never talked about.
"I know they really hurt when they bite you, just be glad that you were not around here a couple of years ago when they had this really evil turkey at the petting zoo." He said and then pointed to the scar on his right arm near his elbow. "It decided that it was going to try and eat me, everybody else thinks that scar's from falling off of a bike. Well, everybody besides the people that were with me that day." He said and was very glad that Jordan hadn't moved here yet since if he had then he probably would have freaked out and refused to even go back to the petting zoo again. Even though they got a new turkey every year so the chances were that most of them wouldn't try and bite people. But, now that he thought of it a few other people had been attacked that same day and the next time he went back there that turkey had disappeared. "So yeah, they are mean here but not all of them are only a select few try and bite people." He said and decided that it probably was best to end that subject after all they were going to the beach and there was bound to be birds there.
Where could they meet? There was a ton of places at the beach. "Ok, do you know at the end of the beach where there's that pile of rocks? How about we meet there since if you're into sunsets you'd probably get to see a really nice one if we stay out there that long." He said and knew that he could stay out at the beach as long as he wanted since Jordan wouldn't be back for awhile yet. Even then he'd call him up and just tell him where he was and the changes were that he would end up coming out there. He knew that he would have to tell him that there was somebody else out at the beach with him and not to wear the same exact thing that he was so that they wouldn't confuse her. Since he knew that on a few occasions they had ended up wearing the same exact thing.
