"Alright, Ken, we're heading back to the apartment for our tutoring session," Jane announced, her tone light and playful. "Wish us luck!"

"Good luck, you two," Ken replied with a warm smile, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I'm sure you'll make great progress. I trust Jane's teaching abilities."

"Thanks, man," Paul responded, giving Ken a friendly pat on the shoulder before turning to Jane. "Ready to face my academic wrath?"

"Bring it on!" Jane challenged, laughing as they headed toward the door. Their footsteps echoed through the emptying hallway, blending with the chatter of their classmates.

Ken watched them go, appreciating the bond they shared. He knew how much Jane cared about helping Paul improve his grades, and he was grateful for her dedication.

"See you later, Ken!" Jane called out one last time before she and Paul slipped out of the building, their laughter fading into the afternoon air.

"Later!" Ken shouted back.
