It was relatively early in the day as Reef arrived at the Nook, briskly trotting down the hall toward the kitchen in search of Alma. However, as he made his way past Alice’s classroom, he found himself being called inside. “Excuse me, Reef?” The pink biped standing in the doorway addressed him, “If you aren’t already doing anything, would you mind helping me for a few moments? I just need you to help Potato hand out the books, if that’s alright.”
“Oh! Sure thing!” He grinned, his tail wagging softly behind him.

Reef quickly made his way to the back of the classroom and couldn’t help but smile as the wynglings flooded into it. It seemed like she was teaching the younger wynglings today. Reef had always loved the energy that the youngest class gave. Before too long they were all sitting on the rug watching closely as their teacher prepared them for the day ahead.
“Ok, Class! Today, we’re going to be practicing our spelling!” Reef froze in place, his body stiff as a memory bubbled to the surface.
——
“Reef, sweetie, listen. All you have to do is copy this... onto here.” Alma soothed, gently guiding the wyngling’s eye between the two pages on the table. Other than the pair of them, the classroom was empty. The rest of the class was out playing by now but she had needed to hold Reef back today. Not for being disruptive or overall misbehaving - no. Reef was being held back to simply try to help him. He was always such a sweetheart in class and had never refused to complete a task that had been set before. Even helping others if given the chance. But today he had just sat. Blank page in front of him. Confusion painted across his face.

The wyngling didn’t respond, simply staring at the paper. His tiny body shaking as he was very clearly holding back tears. “Reef?” She prompted, her voice still as soft and calm as ever. Reef remained still for yet another moment before slamming his claws down onto the table.
“I CAN’T DO IT!” He screamed, the tears finally releasing themselves from his eyes in an explosion of emotions. Alma flinched back in response, shocked by his sudden outburst. This was entirely out of character for the little yellow wyngling.
“I...” He mumbled, shrinking back down, his body shaking violently as he tried desperately to keep the rest of the tears bottled, “I-I’m sorry... I can’t... I’m too stupid.”
“No, you aren’t.” Alma stated firmly before softening her tone again. “I’m sure you could do it if we try-“
“NO!” He shouted, standing while looking at the door just behind Alma. “Ever-Everyone else can do it! I tried and tried and tried my very hardest and bestest but it didn’t work! Never ever ever!”
“Reef-“
But before she could stop him, he fully broke down into a mess of tears and sprinted out of the classroom as fast as his little legs could go.
——
“Ooba?” A small babble from the class noc - Potato - dragged Reef back in reality. Admittedly with more of a damper on his mood but he quickly masked it. “You want me to hand you those books don’t you, Potato.” He chuckled, looking down at the noc’s open palms.
“Aba dook!” She responded, a huge smile across her face as she flexed her palms. Reef wasted no time in splitting the book stack between the pet and himself, the pair setting to work handing them to the wynglings.

I’ll ask Alice about it later. He thought to himself.
