"Buying books takes too long." Nathaniel Nathan glanced at her and said, "I'm not going with you."
Vera Xavier was speechless, but then Nathaniel Nathan added, "However, I've gathered up my old high school books. They're in the car. You can take them home with you later."
Vera Xavier quickly turned to look at the back seat. Sure enough, there was a large stack of books. She gave them a quick scan and saw that in addition to textbooks for every subject, there were all sorts of study guides. The collection was incredibly complete!
She said to him earnestly, "Nathaniel Nathan, thank you!"
"They're just some useless old books, nothing to thank me for." Nathaniel Nathan said as he drove, "I know about your previous grades. They were atrocious. Since you've decided to study, you need to take it seriously. You should just come over to my place whenever you're free."
