Is this part where we kiss || ♡ WLW

Ch. 9 Advanced

I ended up getting to school right on time for a change. I drove the whole way listening to summertime sadness on repeat eating a leftover chicken sandwich. I also put some makeup on to not look like I'm a zombie. I pull into my usual parking stop grab my stuff turn off the car and exit.

I walk into school into school fixing my hair as it's tangled like wired headphones in a bag for too long. It's a cozy type dim outside as it rained earlier. I get to my locker and I see Elena. She is wearing an oversized pink sweater a white tennis skirt and pink Converse. She noticed me and signaled me to come over. I'm a bit flustered but I make my way over."wha-*cough*what's up. My voice cracked a bit because I was so anxious. "You left your AirPods at the party and are you okay you look like hell no offense of course?"

She says handing me my AirPods with a lemon case."Looks like the makeup didn't work that party just shook me the fuck up." I chuckled putting the AirPods in my pocket. "Well if you're not grounded me and my friend Abby are going to a thrift store then ice skating later if you want to come." She smiled waiting for my response. This has been the best and worst few days ever. I can't believe I'm actually talking to her. I twist my hair fidgeting my fingers with the other hand in my hoodie."I- *RING* the school bell cuts me off as I am about to give her my answer.

"I'm sorry but I have to get to class you can tell me your answer after school," she says waving and walking away with her textbooks."damn I
got math" mutter under my breath. I grab my workbook and tote bag and head to math. It's a 30-second walk so I'm not late when I actually come. I enter the class and see I see I kid at the front of the class. Dirty blond wearing a baggy MCR tee shirt cargo pants a hoodie and black vans. He looks a bit younger and shorter the the rest of the class.

"Welcome Oakland I was just introducing our new student Mason" Mr. Clark explained. We both looked at each other in Realisation we both knew. I look away and walk over to take my seat. "So class the is Mason he is taking advanced 10th grade math in here so he will be in our class for the rest of the year. Because he is a bit younger being a freshman so I ask that you be easy on him." He didn't speak the whole the he was up there and just biting his nails. He didn't seem nervous though just in his own world.

"Oakland?" Mr. Clark asked looking directly at me. "Yes, Mr. Clark?" "Well because you are the highest performing in my class how about he sits next to you?" Yep, I always have been good at math it's still boring so that's why I skip from time to time. I'm not sure how I feel about Mason sitting next to me though. He may goof around a bit. He is smart seemingly so it can be that bad.

"Um, no problem sir I can help him out" I replied a bit off-putting because I still had a massive headache."Great have a seat, Mason." Mason looks back at me he seems nervous and taken aback. Everyone was looking at him so he may have been anxious. He takes a seat next to me and pulls out his calculator workbook and pencil."Everyone open your workbook and finish the chapter from Monday." Mr Clark said while taking his seat."What chapter was that" Mason asked timidly."Chapter 8 he should give you more time to finish." "Thanks" he replied getting to work.

I opened my workbook and did the rest of the chapter. It was super easy math is my strong subject. I do struggle a lot in world history. Mr. Clark recommended advanced classes for me but I turned it down. It would be too much pressure. I turned to see Mason struggling with this one problem."You forgot to add the other side then divide" Mason looked a bit annoyed by my correction."Thanks but I don't need the help"Mason whispered."Okay making sure" I said with a smile. He smirked a bit sarcastically and got back to work. I shrugged it off thinking he probably wanted to do it on his own.

We finished the work book walked up to hand it in. I did mine first and I got a ninety-five."Oakland you need to show your work on this one so you got half points." Okay sir I'll do it next time." Next, it was Mason I didn't hear what he got on the assignment."Mason, you need to add the other side then you divide on this question here."I looked back at him while walking back grinning . He rolled his eye and then scratched his head with his middle finger. As we walked back. "ass" "dick head" we both exchanged giggling.
