☆. ｡.:* 6 - Improv? *:. ｡.☆

(Karl's POV)
Tuesday morning, yay... first day back at school. The last 3 days were so fun, I was so happy that I almost forgot school is a thing. There was one good thing though, Nick would be there too...

★Timeskip at school★

I am sitting in the media studies class right now, I sit at the very back with Nick and Techno. I'm just having a conversation with Nick and not really paying much attention to the work, obviously we get caught.

"Karl, would you care to repeat what I just said?"

"Well- I- um. Sorry sir"

He looks at us contemplatively "hmm I may have to move you to the front"

"No sir please, I'll be quiet I promise"

Mr Hankin is a good teacher, he has a sense of humour...

"Ok, how about we ask Nick, does he even want you there?" He promts, the grin evident in his voice.

I turn to Nick with feigned sadness all over my face,
"Nick, do you even want me here, do you even like me"

He smiles at me for a split second then his happiness is replaced with false sincerity.
"Of course I want you here Karl... but, I don't like you"

I listen to him talk, confused

"I love you Karl"

He sounds genuine as he says it and I just stare into his eyes. Techno and the rest of the class still think we're doing improv but I'm not so sure anymore.

The bell rings and we start to pack up, I grab my coat from the back of my chair and sling my bag over my shoulder. Nick, Techno and I always walk to the cafeteria together after we have media studies, we walk away from the classroom labelled S10, down to the art corridor and wait outside S15 for George. He joins us and we carry on down to the music room. Alex and Clay emerge seconds later, Alex has a a huge smile on his face, he's passing music with flying colours, Clay however took this class with hopes of an easy A and didn't look so happy.

We all make our way to the cafeteria and find a table. Techno and I usually buy food at school instead of bringing our own so whilst the rest of the group were grabbing lunch out of their bags, We go and queue up.

"That improv you and Nick did, it was good" Techno says not facing me "If I didn't know better I would've been convinced heh"

My cheeks heat up out of nervousness "ahah, yea thanks"

He must've turned to face at me at that point because he asked me if I was ok, said I looked a bit red. Of course this made me blush more out of pure embarrassment. I tell him I'm fine nonetheless and he let it go.

After buying lunch we wander back over to the group who are just chatting amongst themselves. I take the empty seat next to Nick. This takes all the courage I can muster and I spent the whole duration of the lunch queue debating doing this but-
"When we were in class, um, were you improvising or..." I whisper in his ear

"What would you do if I said no" He whispers back

My face turned bright red I snap my head round to look at him and he just looks back at me, he must be trying to gauge my reaction. I grab him by the hand and stand up. I want to talk to him but we can't keep whispering about it in front of our friends.

I pull him to an alleyway type area of the school, you can walk along the gap between the two buildings and get behind it, nobody really knows where it is so we won't be disturbed or interrupted.

A/N: Hello again! The media studies part of the chapter is based off of something that actually happened in my school like 2 days ago ahah so ty to those people for putting this idea in my head. Sorry that this chapter was kinda short, I couldn't come up with anything to write for a while, apologies.
