[It's gotten easier, recently, to see friendly offers as just that instead of pity or charity. Easier, but not as easy as it should be, probably, and Adam always has to make an effort, has to remind himself that Gansey almost certainly really does just want company, rather than feeling sorry for poor scholarship student Adam who has to study all the time and doesn't eat enough.
That's not how it is. He knows that. He just has a hard time remembering sometimes.]
As long as I can study over there. I really need to finish this calculus homework.
He's not here. He didn't tell me where, so I thought he was with you. Given the obvious inaccuracy of that statement, I'm assuming it's something I don't like. My guess would be street racing.
[ Once upon a time, Ronan being gone at night would have been a source of panic. Things are a good deal better now.
But it still doesn't make sleeping any easier. ]
You can study. Do we have something due for Calculus or are you getting ahead?
[ He says, while hastily trying to remember if he'd completed anything.
It's the homework due next Tuesday. I won't have time to finish it this weekend, I've got work.
[And maybe Cabeswater stuff, but either way he can't count on having any time to finish his actual homework. Adam always has to fit things in when he can manage it, and if that means sometimes missing out on sleep - well, at least he's used to it.]
If you haven't done yours yet, we could work on it together. Anyway, I guess I'm coming over.
[He knows the answer to that. None of the residents of Monmouth get any decent amount of sleep, but then, neither does he. They've all got their reasons.]
Well, keep not sleeping for a few minutes and I'll see you soon.
[ It never works if he has to try. Adam knows this, so he has no problem with being pitiful about it. It’s not really a complaint now that he knows he’ll have company. He will also stop distracting his friend by texting, and go to leave the door open for him. ]

I haven't even looked at it, but I'm not sleeping anyway.
I'll see you soon.
