The bell outside rings out all of a sudden.
Rachael sits up straight.
There goes the recesss.
She absent mindedly flips her notebook...next class is ... math...no .. history . She sighs. Back to it again.
Carter hasn't moved form his seat at all . With all honesty she doesn't know how he is so damn good at math. Almost as good as Nathan.
Speaking of the devil she galnces at Nathan .
This guy is quite since the morning. Empty seat next him surprises her .
Theo is generally never late . Is he absent today or...just running extra late ?
She squints as if that would let her see what's he doing. Natham , too form what she can make out , has a notebook open. Math or english she doesn't no .
And almost on cue the door to classroom slides open . Revealing Theo. Class representative yells from the back " where the hell have you been ? "
Theo laughs shepishly " ah...missed my bus dude . Then the car malfunctioned."
Class representative nods at that .
Theo flops next to Nathan.
" Dude whatca hectic day today is ! " He starts , Rachel notices he is about to start ramble some juicy gossip. But..theo is suddenly quite.
She notices him patting nathan on the shoulder. Nathan is sitting..sure . Has his head down and shoulders hunched . From back it would look only as if he is sleepy .
Theo is murmuring something . She can't hear from the distance .
Carter of all people suddenly perks up . Face a bit concerned of what Rachel can't understand. Theo asks something again. But nathan sits up , nodding no .
Theo looks about as dissatisfied as carter looks concerned for no reason . 5 minutes later Emily comes back and nagging begins onto why she hasn't started her assignment yet.
Rachel tries to argue "hey it's not an interesting topic "
But Emily isn't having it " well carricullumn isn't exactly your wishlist. Write it fast so you can help me today"
" Why is your stretching partner gone ? First off why the heck track team needs stretching partner for – "
"All right everyone settle down " the teacher makes entry finally.
Rachel uses the opportunity to swiftly cut Convo with Emily. She makes a tounge clicking noise in annoyance as though warning I am taking you Rachel , you are gonna help me !
Rachel tilts her neck as if she didn't catch the hint .
World wars are such lengthy issue. The more Rachel stares into it the more boring it becomes .
" And that's when waterloo ..." Teacher keeeps rambling .
Rachel sighs again. She glances between carter and Nathan. Carter is upright as usual.
One difference between those two , despite being good students Carter never sits slack. While Nathan does .
She muttered " just because he has a fucking smart brain "
Beside her Emily's eyes buldge at her for a few seconds before turning away , probably heard her cursing.
The waterloo issue was turning more into something intense when all of a sudden Nathan stands up harshly.
Even Theo looks surprised.
" Yes Nathan ? You want to say something? " Teacher questions.
Nathan does look up , he raises his hand a bit . Theo is glancing downward in the desk . Rachel can see it . Nathancs other hand gripping the desk hard.
" Washroom..." His voice faintest she has ever heard " i need to go to washroom. Can I ?"
Teacher although surprised by the weird body language doesn't poke at it .
" Ah sure ...get back as soon as you can ..?" As if on cue Nathan almost runs out the room .
Rachael taps her own on notebooks. Theo's face is of weird expression.
Emily leans towards right her shoulder " he does that often "
