Westbrook Academy for Metahumans: Forums

Blake munched on his burger. He was eating an early supper with his family at Westy’s Firehouse. It was now Saturday afternoon, which meant he’d survived most of their visit. They would be heading to the airport in a few hours to fly back home. He had to admit (if only to himself) that it hadn’t bee...

Three times a week, Blake had time reserved in the school’s music practice room that contained their drum kit. It was a standard five-piece kit. Back home, he was used to practicing on a four-piece kit at church and an ancient three-piece kit at home, so he was enjoying having the additional toms to...

"Goodnight Lucas! Thanks for the warning about math class. And about the salt shakers."

Blake grinned and continued working on his homework.

((Meant to post this days ago but it slipped my mind... Doh!))

Blake winced at the news of the surprise quiz. "Ms. Davis sure does love to make us suffer. I guess I better get back to my homework. Thanks for the warning, Lucas. Feel free to come knock if you ever want to hang out again!" Smiling, Blake sat back down at his desk. He watched Lucas's wake to see i...

"So you're the reason we have to go hunting for the remote!"

Blake shook his fist in the air in play anger, grinning.

"Do you like that some of us aren't getting spooked anymore when you're around? I imagine it makes the haunting harder."

Blake wrinkled his nose a bit in good humor, smiling a bit. "Well I'd make a horrible ghost then, I don't like history all that much. Way too many people and places and names and dates! I'm not a big fan of math or science either, I guess math's not all that hard but it just... seems like a hassle, ...

Blake had to smile, especially at the "boo!". Haunting aside though, Lucas made himself sound so normal!

"Well I'd say you're pretty good at the haunting stuff. I didn't realize you went to classes, what kinda stuff do you like studying?"

Blake read the writing and nodded, then looked back at Lucas's wake. It was weird talking to a ghost. Slightly creepy. But in a way it wasn't all that different from talking to an invisible person, and that wouldn't be creepy. Okay, maybe that'd be a bit creepy too actually. But here at Westbrook? S...

Blake read the paper and smiled, then looked back at where Lucas was. "Having fun! I guess you're lucky not to have to worry about homework and stuff, huh? Do you get bored?"

18. A baker payers his assistant baker $8 an hour. Each week the baker adds $10 for a food allowance. The baker’s weekly earnings are given by the formula: E = 8h + 10 a) What does “h” mean in this formula? b) How much would the assistant baker be paid if we worked a 35 hour week? c) A 40 hour week...
