Simon took a seat in the ONLY class he disliked; English. He himself isn't good at it at all, which is why he hates it. The other thing he hates is, nobody really acknowledges Simon in that classroom. A few times a mocha-skinned boy looked his way during class, but that was about it.

"Good morning, dear students. Class will begin shortly."

The bell rung and the blue-eyed boy was seated alone, as per usual. The teacher sat around and she checked if everybody was present.

"Olajide? Where are you?", she asked in a stern voice. There was no reply. Mrs Smith rolled her eyes and started the lesson, guessing he wasn't there.

"Well then, the rest is here, gladly. Let the lesson begin."

"So now, for you all to answer my questions. Simon, what type of sentence is this?
He didn't know the answer and started panicking slightly.
"I- uhm the answer is-"

As he was mumbling words, the door bursted open.
"Hi ma'am, sorry I'm late. I had to go visit my mum real quick.", JJ entered the classroom. His friends were laughing at him, causing him to laugh as well.

"Are you trying to get detention, Olajide?"
"No ma'am, I'm sorry.", JJ said sheepishly.

"Sit down next to Simon, will you? Next to those latter boys you will only mess around." the teacher requested.
JJ didn't put up a fight and sat next to Simon.

"Hey, Simon!", JJ greeted Simon. Simon got flustered. Why? He doesn't know himself. Maybe it's because nobody every talks to him.

"Hi."
"Now, Simon, what type of sentence is this?"
JJ noticed Simon's flustered face.
"It's an exclamatory sentence.", JJ whispered.

Simon looked at JJ in confusion. Why was he helping him all of a sudden?
"A-an exclamatory sentence..", Simon mumbled.
"Correct! I knew you could do it! Have more faith in yourself, honey!", Mrs Smith cheered.

"Thank you.", I replied faintly towards both the teacher and JJ.
"Don't sweat it.", JJ replied calmly. Simon wondered how the dark-skinned boy next to him talks to others with ease, while he himself stumbles over his words when he does so.

JJ and Simon chatted the entire lesson and for once, the class flew by in what felt like seconds. He had so much fun with JJ. He wasn't awkward like Simon was, and he even made Simon feel comfortable while talking, which happens rarely. Simon really thought this could be the start of a friendship.

"I'll sit next to you more often, it's bare fun. In a bit!", JJ said as he walked next to Simon, taking a turn to the cafeteria. Simon was always outside by his favorite tree outside during breaks, the cafeteria was too loud for him.

Simon sat alone, head resting against the tree. He was working on an essay that should be done by the end of the day.
It was almost finished as he worked on it with a smile of pride.

"How was first period for everyone?", Tobi started as JJ took a seat at the furthest back table in the cafeteria.
"Mr. Olatunji was late and sat next to Mr. Minter.", Ethan said in and American accent., earning a laugh from everyone.

"Have we put money on the bet?", Tobi asked.
"Fuck sake, To. No we haven't.", Josh exclaims.
"Let's do so, 10 quid from all of us.", Tobi smirks.
"Aight. Easiest 50 I'll ever make- wait where's Vik?"
"I don't know, bud.", Ethan says. Josh changes the topic to something completely different. JJ stood up and went looking for Vik.

______________

As Simon sat beneath the tree, someone plopped down next to him. In shock Simon twisted around and jumped away.
"Chill, it's Vik", He says playfully.
"Jesus, Vik! You scared me!", The blue-eyed boy replied.
They both laugh.

"Whatcha working on?", Vik asks in a nosy tone.
"The essay that has to be done by today. Have u done it yet?"
"Nope, haha. Can I see urs?"
"Yeah!"

Simon showed Vik everything, his face glowing with pride.
"Hey guys!", The dark-skinned boy scares to two boys beneath the tree.
"Fuck, Jide!", Vik said.

JJ plops down next to Simon and looks at what's on Simon's lap. He sees all his work.
"What's this?"
"His essay. It's SICK! You have to see it!", Vik said.
JJ watches as Simon gets so excited due to his work being appreciated.

"It's sick, Si!", JJ said. Simon got flustered as soon as the nickname popped out of JJ's mouth.
"Vik, why weren't you at the cafeteria with us?", JJ asks what he came here fore
"Wanted to do something else."
"The boys called for u, which is why I came out here."

Vik understood the assignment and stood up.
"Okay, in a bit Simon! Fuck u, JJ!", Vik said and ran straight after ending his sentence.
"Twat!", JJ screamed. You could hear Vik's laughter from miles away.

"Want to hang out after school?", JJ was straight forward.
"I- uhm.. I don't know if I'm allowed to go out today..", Simon mumbled nervously.
"Why not?"
"My mum might not allow me since yesterday I broke my neighbor's window with my football."

JJ laughed.
"You- you broke- a-", he couldn't even form a sentence due to his uncontrollable laughter.
His laughing was soothing, it made Simon smile and almost laugh as well.
"Yeah.."

"What class do u have right after this?", JJ questioned.
"Maths, what about you?"
"Same! Dibs on sitting next to you.", JJ said.
"Oh, I was already sitting with V-"
"None of my business. LET'S GOOOO!", JJ dragged Simon up and ran towards to door, holding onto Simon's arm.
