Lexi winced and could hear the words coming out of her mouth. "I wanted to prove that I could?"

Bad. Awful. Terrible reasoning. Her AP teachers would be horrified.

Actually, Luz looks horrified, too, and she kind of squirms in embarrassment.

"Um. Ever get tired of being a bystander in life? Like, everything's happening around you and because you're slacking off, they're in trouble? I know it's kind of...not exactly logical? More of a gut reaction? But it's happened anyway and here I am?"

Terrible reasoning. She could almost see the words written in red pen over an AP European History term paper and winced again.
