Ember watched as everyone finished their pancakes and went on their own way. Just as he was about to wash his plate and probably the rest, Nathaniel was already doing the task. There wasn't even a way for Ember to step in and help since Nathaniel was running around like a cheetah on crack. He resigned himself to feeling guilty. Amani went through so much trouble to make the pancakes and Ember hadn't been very helpful. He just stood there, searching for something to clean... The table! Ember could totally help by cleaning the table off. He searched through the cabinets until he found the sanitizer spray. Ember grabbed some paper towels and quickly, definitely not as fast as Nathaniel, started to clean off the table.

Ember looked up from his self-inflicted chore as Amani said she was leaving. "See ya. Thanks for the pancakes." He said with a smile before he returned to cleaning off the table. The table didn't really take that long to clean and Ember was left wondering how to fill his time. His room! He could totally go check out his room. Ember scurried towards the stairs and, after getting lost so many times that'd he be embarrassed to admit it, Ember found his room. Like a dream, the walls of his room were covered in bookcase. "Books, books~ The wonderful words~ The more you read, the smarter you get~" Which was totally a lie. Ember's report was filled with mostly D's besides his one C and that rare A. The C was mostly from English because Ember absolutely loved literature. If his class had been filled with only books, he probably could ace the class. However, there was just something about gerunds he couldn't understand. The A was from his drama class and it made his mom pretty proud. Ember and education just didn't go well together. He definitely wasn't college material.
