Spot was lucky - Ezra did get caught immediately by Sabine, who demanded to know why she shouldn't immediately rat him out to their parents. He claimed 'I'm just looking out for this new kid' and she's now officially suspicious. But she hasn't ratted him out, yet; just warned him that if he falls behind in math she's not going to back him up.
But when he sees Spot heading towards the table, he smiles and brings back a jello cup from the counter which he slides over as he sits.
"Sure," Spot agrees to the trade, sliding the package of cookies to the centre of the table in return so they can both have some, and unpacking the rest of his lunch.
"You get in trouble last night?" He asks, taking a bite of his sandwich while he waits for the answer - it's as good a conversation starter as any, and he does actually care. He doesn't realise that Ezra was out there because of him, but he's still the type to look out for his friends and that includes wanting to know about them.
"Oh fun," Ezra says, not quite sarcastic but not over enthusiatic either. "If you tell him you know me he'll know you're a troublemaker."
Which is half a warning not to, but he shrugs because he doesn't much care. Spot's not exactly going to volunteer the information, either.
"But I don't think he's that bad. For a teacher, I guess."
Ezra's noticed the hearing aid by now - not mentioned it, thought. But he wonders if Spot would even like music. At least he assumes Spot won't give Kanan any crap for being blind, but it hasn't occured to him to mention it.
Spot snorts, but makes a mental note - Ezra is right, he probably isn't going to volunteer the information, he's not exactly the type to get chatty with teachers.
"Aw, you mean you ain't already told him all about me? I'm hurt." He jokes.
The answer is yes, of course, but since Ezra is teasing him about it he feels like maybe he shouldn't have, because it's probably not cool to share your day with your grandmother.
It's hard to explain how good she is at gently luring the information out of him.
"Yea, well, I had to make sure she made twice as many cookies, didn't I?" He brushes it off with a shrug
"I tell her that and I won't be able to bring any books to school because my bag will be full of baked goods." Spot snorts. "She'll show up at your house with a truckload."
Spot nods, clearing some space on the table and grabbing a cookie.
"Sure that sounds easy enough," He confirms - he might have missed a lot of school, but he knows how to look stuff up. Actually, it might help him learn more too.
Ezra pushes his tray aside - but not before grabbing a bite of pizza - and pulls his books out, giving the textbook to Spot as he opens his history notebook and pulls out the sheet of questions.
"Alright," he says, "it's chapter - four, I think?"
Ezra takes a minute or so to get his pen out then reads the first question out, ready to combine the work with eating, and not caring what this looks like to anyone else in the cafeteria.
Ezra does grab himself a cookie immediately that Spot has his second- just to make sure he gets his fair share of cookies, and after all, Spot if getting Jello as well.
They do get a couple of stares, mostly because people aren't used to homework being done in the cafeteria, but at least once Ezra looks up and the person turns away.
After the second cookie, Spot starts on the jello - it's a little harder to eat and read at the same time with that, but he manages to avoid getting any on the book.
"You got much more to go?" He asks after a few more questions, glancing up at the clock to make sure they still had time.

He takes another bite of his sandwich before speaking again.

"Why, you tell your grandmother all about me?"
He's teasing. He doesn't expect the answer to be yes.

"What you got on this afternoon?"

Date: 2022-09-01 01:26 pm (UTC)"You got time to do it now?" He asks, glancing up at the clock - probably depends what the homework is of course, but he's willing to help.
Not that he's all that good at history, or any subject, but two heads are better than one?
no subject
Date: 2022-09-01 03:34 pm (UTC)Then he catches the implication in Spot's tone, and blinks at him in surprise.
"Are you offering to help?"
no subject
Date: 2022-09-01 03:36 pm (UTC)"Sure, why not." Spot shrugs "Get it done quicker, right?"
It's not like he has anything else to do, and he appreciates Ezra not getting him in trouble yesterday, so he's happy to help out his new friend.
"Even if you don't finish, half done is better'n not done, right?"
no subject
Date: 2022-09-01 05:19 pm (UTC)"Shouldn't be too hard," he says. "It's a quiz, so you can help me look things up in my book while I write it."

Date: 2022-09-02 09:41 am (UTC)Spot is also not paying attention to anybody else, but mostly because not caring whatever other people do or think is his default position.
He flips through the book, finding the answers Ezra is looking for and reading them out - slowly, so that Ezra has time to write.
When he finishes the first cookie he grabs a second, but makes sure there's some left for Ezra

He ='s really grateful - this is much mre than he'd manage on his own but he's not sure how to say thanks.
