Arthur grabbed his, immediately jogging off to his next class. Looking back for a moment to wave to Kyle. god he's cute
You're in love
SHUT UP

The last couple periods passed quickly, students practically rushing out the door when the last bell rang. Kyle made his way to his locker after an unfortunate run in with his usual bullies leaving him with some more bruises. He packed away what he needed before heading to meet Arthur.

Arthur waited by the front gates, bundled in a coat and some warm snowboots as he waited for Kyle. I wonder if he'll actually come he thought, searching the crowds as they passed him by.

Kyle rubbed and held his stomach as he quickly scanned the crowd of people for Arthur. Once he found the taller boy, he walked over with a smile, “Hey.”

"You came…" said Arthur breathlessly, coming up to the other boy, "Uhm.. Shall we go?"

“Of course I did, I said I would,” he shrugged, “Lead the way.”

Arthur smiled, nodding he set off down the street, heading for a small collection of apartment buildings about three blocks away. "So… you any good at science?" He asked as they walked.

Again, Kyle shrugged a shoulder before running a hand through his hair, “Meh, I’m alright I guess, but good enough to help you pass.”

Arthur gave him a grateful smile. "Science was never my strong point…" he said shyly, leading Kyle into a dreary apartement building and up the stairs.

“Well, I’ll help you get better, you can count on it.” Kyle looked up and sent Arthur a wink.

Arthur blushed lightly, his eyes dropping as he turned down a hallway, coming to his door he pulled out a key. Unlocking it he led Kyle into a small apartment, it was simply furnished, but comfortable.

Kyle looked around curiously for a few moments, taking his shoes off politely at the door like he would at home, “Right, ready to study?”

"I guess" said Arthur dumping his coat on the coatrack, leaving his shoes by the door as he reluctantly began digging out homework, papers, and assorted assignments.

Kyle pulled out his glasses, slipping them onto his face as he pulled out his books. He bit his lip, scanning over the mass of notes.

"I think my teachers gave me all the work from the beginning of the semester…" said Arthur frustratedly. Shrinking away from the daunting load of work.

Kyle peered over at his work with a frustrated pout as he nodded, “Sadly, I think so too. Looks like I’ll be over to help you more then once.”

"You don't have to…" said Arthur. "I can probably figure it out myself… " he sighed again, If I can understand it…

Kyle looked up at him, “I don’t mind helping you out, really, it’s no trouble if you need help.”

"Thank you…. Honestly I can probably use all the help I can get….""

"Well, if you make more friends then you'll get more help. I mean, depends on the people."

"I guess you're right about that…." said Arthur. "But either way we should probably start on this or it'll take us all night."

Kyle chuckled softly and nodded, “Yeah, you’re right. So, science, was it?”

"Unfortunately" said Arthur glumly.

Kyle peered over at the notes, eyes flicking over chemical equations and tables, “It’s not too hard, just fill out the table from the notes over here.” He pointed.

Arthur blinked, sliding down on the floor and digging out a pencil, starting to work, his handwriting loopy and quick.
