Pen's POV

well pencil and i are gonna get into so much trouble. it's our first day of high school and we're already late for our home room class.

as we continue walking down the hallway, i can see our class in the distance.

"pencil! look" i say to her
"pen there's no need to shout, what's wrong?" she asks in response
"oh nothing, but look there's our first class. come on hurry, we don't wanna be any later than we already are." i say to her as i start speed walking to the end of the hallway.

as i get close to the door pencil suddenly steps back and stops walking.

"pencil what's wrong? we need to go inside." i say to her.
"i don't know pen, i just suddenly feel kinda sick to my stomach." she says to me.

i grab her hand and say to her "don't worry. it's probably just first day nerves. trust me i got them this morning, but when i saw we had a class together, i suddenly felt better." i say to her.
she smiled at me in response and says "thanks pen. you always know how to make me feel better" she says as she takes a step in front of me and twists the door handle allowing us access inside the classroom.

Pencil's POV

"thanks pen. you always know how to make me feel better." i say to pen as i take a step in front of him and open the door to our class.
"i'm not afraid anymore" i whisper to myself as i walk into the classroom.

"and that's how you find the answer to question 3- oh hello, so it appears we have another student in our class this semester." the teacher says to me.

pen steps out from behind me revealing himself and waves to the teacher. "wait don't forget about me" pen says with a slight chuckle.

"ah so we have 2 other students joining us this semester. i see, i see." he says slowly dragging out his sentence.

"did you two get lost or something in the hallways?" the teacher says while tapping his foot on the concrete floor.

"no we just los-" pen starts.
"yes! yes, we did in fact get lost. so sorry about that! we didn't know our way around the school is all, since we're new and all." i say while laughing and elbowing pen in the shoulder.

"ow" he says under his breath.
"you'll thank me later" i say back in response before smiling back at the teacher.

"okay i understand. well if you two will take a seat at the back, then i can resume my lesson. if you need to, please get some notes from the beginning of class from someone else so i don't have to repeat myself." he says before turning back to the white board.

"okay sir. thank you" i say to him before i grab pen by the shirt and drag him to the back of the class with me.

"great job for handling that so well pencil. i would've just told him the truth and gotten myself into more trouble" pen says while taking out his math notebook.

"no problem pen, i just hope we didn't miss much. i can't afford to get another low mark in math like i did last year, i barely passed." i say while starting to take notes off the white board.

"i completely understand. i'll shut up now." he says with a slight chuckle.

i start laughing with him and turn my attention back to the board.

something tells me this class isn't going to be this bad after all.
