Clays pov
1 months later (around late december)

I absolutely hate it here.
I thought to myself as I was trying to solve a math problem.
For gods sake if it was this easy I would have asked to be put into an advanced class.

1. -3x + (-2) = 17

a) 18
b) -19/3
c) 7

are you kidding me
I circle B and sigh just waiting for this class to be over.

The bell finally rang and I shot up to run out the door, but my teacher caught me.
"Mr Clay I would just like to let you know you've gotten the highest score on the test congr-"
"Yeah I kinda figured" I reply quickly and run out of the classroom

I saw Nick a few feet in front of me.
The first thought that came to my head was to jump on his back, but that would probably result in him punching me or some shit.
So I simply ran up and smacked the back of his head.

"Clay with the hell!" He punches my shoulder
"Yeah, Yeah man up. You ready for english?"
"Do I look like i'm ready for english" He points up to the dark circles under his eye. "I was up till 3am studying for this damn test and still can't remember what a absolute phrase is."

"Nick you're kidding..."
"Sadly, No i'm not"
"THATS THE EASIEST ONE DUMBASS"
I let out a laugh and look at him dumbfounded.

Nick was the first person I met here at this school. We easily got along and realized we had our last few classes together.

Before I could finish my thoughts we arrived at the classroom. I looked over at Nick who took a deep breath and looked as if he was saying a prayer.
"Oh my god just stay calm you'll do fine"
We walk in and take our seats.

about 45 minutes later

The test was easy
I was composed waiting for us to get our score back but Nick? Oh Nick........
The poor kid was sweating bullets.
I look back over at him, give him a cheesy smile and a thumbs up then turn back around to see my teacher handing the test back.

An A outlined in a red circle sits in the top right corner

LETS GOOOO!!

I look back over at Nick who seems to be less stressed.
He hold up the paper which has a B+ at the top

See it wasn't that bad, I mouth across the room

School was over, I was released from this hell hole.
Me and Nick were waiting outside of the school at the bus stop just talking about homework and just random things, but this moment was interrupted by my name being called.

"Clay?"
I turn around and see a girl standing behind me. Petite in height, short brown hair and hazel eyes.
"Yes?"
"Could I talk to you for a second?"
I look over at Nick who raises who eyebrows and mouths dude go ahead
"uhh..yeah sure"

I let her drag me off to the side of the school a courtyard.
"So what did you need me for?"
"I'll just get straight to the point"
