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.
"Decent enough amount that it doesn't look like you forgot, anyway," Spot agrees.
He also doesn't need the thank you, in fact he probably wouldn't know how to handle it if he got one - he doesn't feel like he's doing anything special, just helping out his new buddy.
"That's one good thing about this week," he comments as he flips through looking for the next answer "least I ain't got no homework to worry about."
"Yea." Spot snorts - he doesn't imagine it'll last past today, even, but it's still one less thing to make an already unpleasant situation worse.
Once they've done all they can, and the cookies are eaten, Spot helps him pack up the books and shoves his own stuff into his bag, slinging it over his shoulder.
"I'll see you tomorrow? I can tell you how music was." he offers with the faintest edge of a smile.
"Sure," Ezra says, still in the process of gathering up his history work. "Even if you hate it, I can cope."
It doesn't occur to him at all to tell Spot the most obvious thing about what to expect. That when he gets to music class the kids are already seating, there's a seating chart visible at the entrance, and Mr Jarrus is leaning against the teacher's desk waiting for people to come in.
The reason for this is probably obvious given the cane propped up against his knees and his dark glasses, as he hurries people in and reminds them to sit in their designated places.
"Alright," he's saying. "Get in and get your books out. Work is on the board."
Apparently he holds some sway, because nearly everyone is doing that.
Spot is a little surprised to spot the cane and the dark glasses, but it's not like you need to see to appreciate music, right? He gets over his surprise quickly enough and checks the seating chart, half expecting not to be on it since he's new - but there he is, Sean Conlon. Urgh.
Still, at least there's a chance he can just slink to his seat without having to do another lame introduction, maybe? That's not too bad. He finds the right seat and pulls out his books, kind of surprised at the number of people who are - at his old school, at least half the class would be trying to pull a fast one on a blind teacher. Not that Spot doesn't think he's got ways to deal with that, but that wouldn't stop them trying. Clearly kids here are better behaved.
It's not obvious which it is, at first, a combination of good behaviour in general and respect for the teacher, maybe. When one of the girls gets out a fidget spinner early in the lesson, for example, he addresses her directly and sharply:
"Use something quiet please, Miss Feldman."
And she mutters "yes sir" and relaces it with playdough.
The lesson starts like any other, with reading and a bit of a lecture, and a discussion - Spot will find that the group tables they're sitting at have hospitality-style bells in the centre that people use instead of putting their hands up. Silence is mostly enforced for obvious reasons.
Halfway through, though they are dismissed to grab instruments from around the room and work on compositions. But before the inevitable noise, he stands up and turns in Spot's approximate direction.
"Mr Conlon, can you come here, please? The rest of you, you know how it works."

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

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?"

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
