Orion shook his head, "Not at all."

"Yes, you were!" Sebastian caught him red-handed, while Xanthea playfully pinched his cheek, "And you, have you always been this cheeky?"

"What can I say? There isn't any other way to put it!"

Xanthea teased, "Is there a chance it was 'I performed ballet for the principal'?"

Sebastian looked puzzled, "But I can't ballet."

"It's not about whether you can dance or not." Xanthea furrowed her brows, "Just write it down!."

Xanthea snapped the workbook closed, "I think your English needs a bit more work. Let's start with something simpler, how about math?"

Sebastian nodded eagerly, "Oh, I love math, always scoring top marks!"

"Good." Xanthea smiled, relieved, "Let's solve a subtraction problem. 75 minus 16, set it up column-style. If 5 minus 6 doesn't work, what should you do?"

Sebastian scratched his head, looking confused.

Xanthea started to explain, "You need to borrow 1 from the 7, and that’s what we called ‘subtraction with borrowing’. You must have heard of it, right?"
