Seth saw his history teacher walking towards the school. If there was one thing he could sense in humans, it was when they were being fake. And Mr. Aasu was putting on a fake smile. Seth jogged towards him. “What’s wrong Mr. Aasu?”
"W-What do you mean"
Seth shrugged. "You're faking a smile. Hum- I mean, people don't generally do that unless something's wrong."
"H-How did y- I mean…No I'm not."
Seth shrugged, saying, "If you don't want to talk about it, just say so." He looked off at the streets with a couple cars zooming by. "I can understand secrets." He looked back at his teacher. "Can I head into the building? You must be freezing out here," he said as snow melted on the threadbare sleeves of his hoodie.
He unlocks the door allowing Seth to go first
Seth walked into the school and headed straight for his locker down the hall, leaving Hiro to his thought as he grabbed some food he stashed for emergencies from his locker and sat down to eat packaged Danishes in the hall.
Hiro was heading to his class to get ready when he noticed Seth "Do you have anything else to eat?"
Seth looked up. "Nope! I'm good though. I don't eat a lot."
"If you say so," He said as he heads into the history room
Seth watched Mr. Aasu walking away and hummed in agitation. He muttered to himself, "I wish I had some friends. They probably would know what to do…" He got up and started heading for the library, still munching on danish.
(timeskip?)
(I guess. When to?)
(Also, what is your comfort zone with swearing?)
(GO AHEAD)
(and maybe class)
(Ok, thanks!)
The bell rang. Seth looked up from his scribbling. He gathered his things and checked what class he had next on his schedule, seeing as how he still wasn't used to it. He gave a small, frustrated groan when he saw it was History. He headed there and sat down in his seat in the back of the classroom, not even paying attention to the other students filing in, and looked out the window drearily.
Hiro was waiting for the bell then started teaching
Seth heard Hiro start talking and visibly slumped. Then he heard a voice whisper, "Pssst! Loser!" Seth looked over and saw an ugly kid with a sneer on his face. "Yo, loser, " the kid continued, "I have an opportunity for you to show that you're not the wimp everyone thinks you are…" Seth raised an eyebrow and tipped his chair back, nonchalantly, a bored look on his face. "Come to the fight club tonight. You can fight your way to the top of the food chain then. Well… if you're not a weakling anyway." The kid snickered, along with of his couple of buddies. Seth other eyebrow raised. "I don't think that would be a good idea." The kid abruptly stopped chuckling with his friends. "Why the hell not?"
Hiro heard the voices but bearly "What's going on back there?"
Seth looked uninterestedly up at the front. The other kid said, "Nothing sir.", but continued under his breath to Seth, "Tonight. Downtown at the parking lot for the McDonald's on Fratern Street. You can get a lift to the place there by the founder of the club there."
Hiro sighs "Please keep the noise down then"
Seth thinks about the kid's information. "Alright. I'll be there, but don't tell me I didn't warn you." The other kid burst out laughing as Seth turned to look back out the window.
(after class?)
(Lots of time skips. Ok, sure. You or me?)
