Arabella's eyes moved to Lance as he finally showed up, setting his backpack down near her. She sat up, placing the book aside.
"So, we arent exactly playing football, but we are using the field to help us. I'm going to have you read the chapter first. Afterwards we are going to start in the center of the field. Each time you get an answer right, we move further towards my goal line. You get a question wrong and we get closer to your's. Each time you get closer to my goal line, you can make me do something: run suicides, do jumping jacks, etcetera. And I can make you do whatever I want you to do if you get a question wrong," she explained, hoping he would understand, but knowing when they got started he would understand. "I'll even let you have a periodic table in front of you as a cheat sheet." She said handing him the book so he could read through the chapter.

Lance groaned, he hated reading, especially when it came to reading textbooks. "What if we didn't, and say we did this and go like get ice cream," He said sitting down next to her. He listened to her explain the plan and he think he understood, he especially got the idea of a reward system, though he wasn't a fan of the rewards or punishment. "How about if I get one right, I get a kiss?" he asked teasingly.

Arabella looked at him, laughing a bit. "Hey, I'm trying to be a good friend and make sure that you don't fail," she said with a little wink, setting the book down on his lap.
She tilted her head, thinking over the whole 'kiss' thing. She pursed her lips before nodding.
"Fine. I'll kiss you if you get one right," she said, wondering if that would actually motivate him to learn the content. She knew she wouldn't let things go any further than a kiss.

Lance stared at the book letting out a defeated breath. "I just don't like reading," He said picking up the book and attempting to read the first chapter. "Oh I am already bbbooorrrreeedddd,' He said closing his eyes and groaning. He raised an eyebrow though with the thought of a kiss as a reward. "Now that is a prize," He joked nodding his head in approval.

Arabella moved closer to Lance's side, placing a hand on the back of his neck. She leaned closer to him, her lips mere inches from his. "Just scan for the key points. Every time it shows a chemical, it does a breakdown of how it is formed, and what it is. Thats all you really need to know." She said, leaning in closer, to where her entire body was moving with her. She stopped, her lips nearly brushing his, her body pressing against him. "I know you can do it," she said softly before completely pulling away. She had done that to pretty much motivate him to start reading, but also to tease him a little bit--it had been a really long time since she teased a guy.

Lance was trying to pay attention, it was difficult with her standing so close him he could move five inches and their lips would be touching. He thought if he kissed her, she would forget about studying. Just as he was about to place his lips on hers, she pulled away, he sighed with frustration. Lance knew she was teasing and wouldn't avoid studying just to make out. He groaned and picked up the textbook, trying to read the chapter again.

Arabella laughed lightly, shaking her head. "You can't distract me from making you study," she said, shooting him a smile. "Let me know when you're ready. In the mean time, I'm going to get my run in," She said, bending over to stretch. She straightened back up, grabbing her leg to stretch that behind her back so that her muscles wouldn't tighten up as she ran. She stretched for a few minutes before grabbing her ipod and headphones, putting them on before running around the track surrounding the football field.

Lance poutrd with defeat and turned to the chapter, pretending to read as she stretched. He could help but watch, something about how she was able to bend her body made it hard to look away. When she was done stretching and actually started to run he looked down at the textbook and started reading. The chapter.
After about twenty-five minutes Lance stood up to see where Arabella was at on the field. He had read the chapter twice, hoping he understood it . "Hey!" He called out, spitting her down the field. He waved his arms in attempt to get her attention.

It had been about twenty-five minutes that Arabella had been running around the field. She had to admit that she was extremely surprised that it took him so long to read the chapter, but she supposed that he had likely read it over a couple times.
She caught him standing up out of the corner of her eye, waving her down.
She turned off the music, going over to him before stretching again to make sure that her muscles wouldn't stiffen after the work out. "Think you know it well enough?" she asked, straightening herself up before putting her stuff away.

Lance watched as she jogged over, hoping he knew the chapter enough to answer at least some of her questions. "Its as good as it's going to get," he said knowing it would be useless to read it over again.

"Okay," Arabella said, motioning to the center of the field. She grabbed him a print out of the periodic table, handing it to him before moving to the middle of the field. "We're going to start easy. With using your periodic table I'm going to either give you the name of a chemical or the formula for it, and you have to give me the name of it," she said, straightening up. "First chemical is barium chloride. How would you write that out using the symbols on the periodic table?"

Lance moved to the center of the field, taking the paper from her and looking it over. "How do I draw it?" He asked looking around, not seeing how he was going to say it out loud. He looked down at the one she said and could picture it in his mind.

"Like...." Arabella started, trying to find the right wording. "What letters represent that formula," she said, trying to clarify a bit to make it something he could actually say out loud. "For example: if I was to be talking about water, you would say: H-two-O."

"Oh, okay I get it," Lance said smiling though he felt like an idiot. "So barium chloride," He said out loud trying to re-imagine the image he had brought forth earlier.

Arabella smiled at him, knowing that if he looked at the periodic table, it would tell him right there that it was BaCl. All he really had to do was piece together the two elements. But she understood that he was learning, so she wouldn't judge.

Lance took a few steps before answering her "BaCl?" He asked more than saying. He wasn't confident and he felt like an idiot especially if he was wrong.He turned to face her after he had given his answer to her, watching her face for her expression.

A smile spread across Arabella's face when he answered. She was extremely surprised that he got it right, but she was also really impressed. Sure, it wasn't a hard one, but they weren't really into anything too difficult anyways. She walked over to the next yard line, walking towards her own goal a bit before stopping. "So what is it that I have to do?" she asked, though she had a feeling that he still wanted her to kiss him.

"I take it that I got the question right?" Lance asked knowing that he did get it right. "Hmmm, what to do what to do." He said narrowing his eyes at her trying to figure out if he should punish her or kiss her.

"You did," Arabella said with a genuine smile. She stood with her hands behind her back, tilting her head to the side. "Should I start doing push ups? Or suicides?" She asked, not sure what he would makr her do.

Lance smirked, wanting to tease her. "I am thinking," He said tapping his finger on his chin. "twenty-five push ups." He said with sly smile. He would eventually demand a kiss, just not this time around.
