Rose looked up at the guy in front of her and scrunched her eyebrows up a bit. Why was he asking if she was okay? She was sure he didn't really care…
"I'm fine. Thank you for picking up my folder," she said as she finished gathering the rest of her things. She stood up and took the folder back from him, adding it to her pile of books. "I should be on my way to my next class now…"
The guy smiled lightly and stepped out of her way, bowing lightly. He had long brown hair that was a black color at the roots. It looked quite nerdy, but it matched his dark eyes quite well.
“Alright. You're welcome.” He trotted off, ignoring the snickers as he passed.
Rose watched him walk away for a moment before she along her head and starting toward AP History. It was a good thing this one another of her favorite classes. Maybe it could cheer her up a little…
Tobias shook out his fluffy, tangled hair and stepped into his Chemistry class, sinking into a chair near the door. He was ready to go home and sink into bed. The warm embrace of his bed called him in the corners of his mind as the boring teacher stood to announce the lab they were doing tomorrow.
A shorter blonde took the seat beside Tobias and smiled over at him. Her hair was stacked in top of her head in a half-up messy bun, the other half hanging down to her mid-chest.
"Hey. You excited for this class? Chem is my favorite," she whispered over to Tobias with a grin.
Tobias’ eyes flitted briefly to her and he shrugged a little. “I guess. This class has just gotten boring,” was his dull response. He didn’t really like Chemistry as much he did Bio or Physics. He pulled out his quarter and started to turn it in his hand over the desktop, making sure it didn’t clatter and make noise.
"Boring? How could you think Chemistry is boring?" the girl chuckled. She looked over at him with bright green eyes framed by dark lashes. "This is probably the best class of my day."
Tobias kept his gaze down and focused on his shining little piece of silver. He liked how it caught light and gleamed brightly.
“Eh. It’s just dull. The same stuff every day, I guess.”
The girl hummed and glanced down at his spinning coin. The teacher said something that caused her attention to snap back to the front for a moment before she turned back to Tobias.
"I'm Robyn, by the way," she introduced herself with a small smile.
“That’s nice,” Tobias blurted out rather suddenly. “I’m Tobias,” He quickly continued, hoping he didn’t sound as standoffish as he felt. He ignored the teacher altogether, his head and shoulders still dipped in posture.
"It was nice to meet you, Tobias. I'm sure we'll be seeing lore of each other this year. Well… Obviously, we will because we're in at least one of the same classes together," Robyn chirped with a shrug before her attention returned to the front of the room.
Tobias nodded over the desk, chewing on his lip and sighing faintly. If one day felt like a whole month, this entire year was going to be extremely long.
The teacher rambled on about the chemicals they’d be mixing and the lab itself. The lab required partners, which everyone in the class began turning to each other and whispering.
Robyn laughed softly and turned to Tobias again. "Well, what do you say? Partners?"
Tobias glanced up again, still spinning his coin. “Sure. Sounds good.” He looked back down and away.
(Do you want to skip?)
(Sure! To when? When they get home?)
(Sure! If I’m starting, I’ll have to do it later. I’ve got to go.)
(Daww okay. I could start if you want.)
(Would you, please?)
(Oh, yea, sure. Hmmm8
(Lol.)
(Hmhmhmhmhmhmhmhh so do they come home at the same time?)
(Probably. They go to the same school, but they might have extra curriculars…)
(Kk. Tobias doesn’t have much, just the bare minimum, lol.)
Tobias slumped his bus with his phone in hand, shoving it into his pockets along with his quarter and hands. He rose his hand to the bus driver, signing to them that they could drive off as he walked up thr driveway of his home.
Rose huffed as the bus driver nearly drove off with her still walking towards the front. She hurried down the steps and past Tobias, ignoring him as she opened the door and stepped inside.
“Mom? Dad? I’m home?” she called, making her way to the kitchen table.
Tobias scowled at her lightly as he stepped into the house and shut the door. “You forgot to close the door, smart one,” He drawled smartly.
Cam appeared from the basement, holding a lump of clothes. He smiled at his kids. “Hi! How was school?”
“I was trying to make you could get in, genius,” Rose muttered back to him before turning to her father with a small smile. She shrugged and smiled wider as she saw her mother coming up from behind Cameron and wrapping her arms around her husband. “School was fine. Mostly review. Everything is still really easy.”
Tobias rolled his eyes and gave his parents a faint grin. “It was fine. How was your all’s day?”
Cameron had jumped lightly and glanced over his shoulder, laughing lightly. “Oh, our day was fine.”
Lilah giggled softly when Cameron jumped and kissed his cheek. “I agree. It was a good day. We got all of our grocery shopping done and had time to spare.”
Rose hummed and glanced around. “Did you happen to make snacks? I’m starving.”
Cameron grinned and glanced back up at the other two. “No, we didn’t make snacks. But dinner’s in the oven now.”
Tobias yawned faintly into his hands. “Great. Call me down when that’s done.”
