{For the purpose of Zed being human we have changed his last name!}
"Mr Carsen? How lovely to see you actually show up to class! Minus the fact your 25 minutes late." Mrs Black spoke sharply. Addison's head snapped up as she saw the one person she couldn't bare for 50 seconds never mind 50 minutes. Meet Zed Carsen, the schools 'bad boy'. Zed was that one guy that every single girl threw themselves at just for a sliver of his attention, most girls would donate a leg to see him wink at them. He was annoying and arrogant in any class he actually attended, which was minimal but besides the point. Addison was in every single one of his classes and she absolutely dreaded every second of it. You think a seventeen year old would have their shit together and maturity level at a good standard right? Think again.
"Well I showed right? Better than nothing." He grumbled and made his way to the back where the only available seat was at Addison's table. This was just great, she couldn't wait to start bonding with him! She hoped the next 25 minutes would fly by and hoped it wouldn't be as torturous as she imagined. "This seat taken?" He whispered as Mrs Black began teaching math again. Addison shook her head and with that he sat down with a grunt.
Addison could see why girls would attempt to throw themselves at him, he was hot but just not as hot as he thought. Addison noticed from the corner of her eye that he was looking at her. "Can I help you?" She asked in the nicest tone she could master.
"Do you have a pen? And a clue what the fuck she's talking about?" He whispered back. She stifled a laugh and remained as stern as she could.
"You use a pencil in math, never a pen and I do understand cause I actually come to class unlike you." She said a little too harshly. He leaned back and sighed before looking at the chalkboard. Addison huffed and took a pencil out of her bag and handed him it nicely. He took it with a small thank you before he started spinning it with his fingers. Class was almost over so he didn't bother getting paper to write on. He sat there with her pencil in his hands looking anywhere but where he should be. She never really spoke to him until now and even at that it wasn't actually a conversation.
Mrs Black handed out some homework and purposely skipped Zed as she knew it would never be done. She handed Addison it with a smile and went on to hand it to the other tables. Zed had her pencil leaning perfectly balanced on his ear as everyone got packed up. She didn't want to ask for it back now that he seemed so comfortable with keeping it. He stood up quickly and put his bag over his right shoulder and looked at Addison. "You want this back?" He motioned to the pencil but she shook her head.
"No you can keep it. Make sure to actually use it next time." She smiled. The bell went and with that Addison made her way out of the classroom and to her next class: Biology. Mr Wilson was a really good bio teacher, this was one of Addison's favourite subjects because he was teaching it. She was the first one in the classroom, he turned to her with a wide smile. "Addison! How's your day been so far?" He asked laying out some worksheets on his table.
"Its been... eventful! Oh by the way, Zed is actually in today so beware." He nodded as she made her way to her seat. Addison liked being alone when she was in class as she could study to the best of her ability but everyone thought it was a good idea to put Zed next to her to make him actually do work. It never worked, it just made it a living hell for her. The students began pouring into Mr Wilson's class one by one. Around fifteen minutes into the lesson the door opened and in came Zed.
"Ah, Zed. I think I should get you a nice little watch so you can improve your timekeeping! Please take a seat." Mr Wilson smiled at him. His heavy footsteps made his way to Addison's table for the second time today. He had the same pencil she had given to him last period, this made her smile. Mr Wilson was very patient with people like Zed and always made time to help him.
"Hey bestie!" Zed hollered as he sat. Addison smiled before going back to her notes that the teacher was showing. Zed actually had a piece of paper on the other side of the desk and began writing what was on the board. Addison was surprised but didn't comment on it. "psst-" he whispered as she looked up. "Can I see your notes on diffusion? I cant see the board." She nodded and flipped her textbook around to let his eyes scan the pages before he started writing the notes down. Zed never did work, ever! So this was a huge surprise to Addison. She let him take as long as he needed before he nodded, she flipped her notes back round. The class went in pretty quick and before she knew it, everyone was packing up. "You know, your like a walking Einstein but like- with an ass?" He mocked her. She rolled her eyes before checking her watch. Only a few classes to bare with him, if he makes it that long before ditching. Some cheerleader that was in their class walked up to him and rested her hands on his chest. Addison rolled her eyes and walked away from them both and waited on the bell to ring.
Mr Wilson asked her to come to his desk for a moment. "Do you want moved? I can see that Mr Carsen can inflict annoyance around certain people?" He smiled keeping his voice in a hushed tone. Addison thought for a moment as she looked around and saw him and the cheerleader literally groping each other in the corner.
"Yes! Please. Thank you sir!" She smiled at him. He wrote it down on a little sheet of paper to remind him for tomorrow. The bell rang again and out Addison went. She was so thankful that it was one less class that she had to suffer with him. She hoped that he would just end up leaving to go and get ran over or impregnate some cheerleader, just anywhere away from her. As she walked down the hallway she heard all the football players shout him over as they walked down the corridor. He was literally everywhere she went. She couldn't wait to get home and it was only going on third period.

Lunch finally rolled around and Addison found herself out in the courtyard with her English notes for the last period of the day. "Hey girl! I've not seen you all day! What have you been doing?" Bree exclaimed before sitting down with her best friend.
Addison smiled. "I've been trying to catch upon some notes! Nothing much. You?" Addison asked her best friend.
Bree shrugged. "Nothing! Oh but there is this really good looking guy on the football team! His name is Bonzo and oh my god Addy, you need to see him!" She exclaimed whilst flapping her hands in the air like a demented whale. Addison shrieked like a madman before asking her best friend more about this secret crush. "Well he's on the football team and he's good friends with Zed! They are like best bro's! He's also doing a petition for the entire football team to dye their hair green for cancer support!" She shrieked lovingly. Addison was so happy for her best friend and was definitely gonna look out for this mystery boy she hadn't seen around. She didn't know any of Zed's friends, only him. Zed hung around with the wrong people. Smokers, hookers, drugs- everything. Her mind kept wandering to this morning when he kept her pencil, she was definitely overthinking everything. "Addy? You okay?" Bree asked frantically as she stopped her sentence. Addison shook herself out of her daydream and turned to her friend.
"No, no, I'm fine, Bree! Zed was in all my classes this morning and he just really gets on my last nerve." Addison commented with an eye roll. Bree sighed, she knew exactly what Zed was like and always felt so sorry for Addison as they were in EVERY class together and most likely got placed next to each other. "I'm sorry Addy, I know how hard it must be to have him next you all the time." Lunch carried on as normal before there was an announcement on the speakers.
"New Season? Tryouts for the cheer leading squad are open next period! Football tryouts too!"
Bree's head snapped up and had a smirk playing on her glittered lips. "Addy! This is your time to shine!" She shrieked before pulling her up by the arm softly. "While we are there, we can see if we can see Bonzo! It's a win-win situation for both of us!" And with that, both girls made their way to the tryouts.
