Chapter Text
“Right, so I’ve always wondered,” Elian said, leaning back on his chair. It was early in the morning, and the temperature was hot. The sun shined brightly on Elian’s face as he rested his hand on Caelius’ shoulder. It was the 3rd day of school, and many people were resting their heads on their desks, looking tired.
Caelius sighed and grabbed Elian’s hand, removing it off his shoulder, just for Elian to put it back. Caelius looked at Elian with an annoyed look on his face, but decided to just leave it. “Just tell me what you’ve always wondered.”
Elian rolled his eyes and continued. “Why does Mr. Julianne always have this mean look on his face? Like, no offense to him, but he just seems so mean and scary. I’d never want to talk to him alone!”
“Huh, weird. That’s what I thought too. Maybe it’s just how he looks, don’t mind it.”
“Alright, whatever you say! Ugh, it’s so hot in here, I’m really going to die.”
Elian fanned himself with his hand and made a dramatic sigh. He paused and looked at Caelius. “Wait, do we still have to do that science project?”
Caelius shrugged. “Beats me. Mr. Schmidt never said anything about it, so…”
Suddenly, there was a slam on Elian’s desk. Elian and Caelius both looked up to see who it was.
“Eli, you need to join the yearbook club with me!” It was David, Elian’s younger brother. “I can’t be there alone! I won’t know anyone!”
“Oh, hi David. What are you doing in my homeroom? Don’t you have Mr. Jackson?”
David rolled his eyes and took someone’s chair, bringing it to Elian’s desk and sitting down. Because of the heat, David brought a small fan. Someone was probably going to steal it. He placed it on the desk and turned it on, making it face towards him and him only. “Ah, it feels so nice.”
