] after 3 days of urging Clay to tell how he got his powers and more of his heroic stories, it was finally time for the long-awaited aquarium field trip in their biology class. The sad part was, Mr. Todd chooses your partners to work on the assignment. Clay was overjoyed because he got picked to be with George. And Nick was stuck with Luke. *OF ALL PEOPLE LUKE HAD TO BE THE ONE THAT I HAVE TO GO TO THIS STUPID AQUARIUM! Why does the universe hate me!? * Nick stood next to Luke, crossing his arms and looking over at George and Clay. He could tell that his best friend was holding in a smile as he leaned on the bus talking to George. He sighed looking over to Karl who had also looked annoyed, probably because he was with a girl and she wasn't even next to him| -Karl leaned back on the wall with his arms crossed, giving a friendly smile to the girl he was partnered with and then caught Luke's eye and gave him a small wave, which was obviously returned. He glanced at Nick, who was next to Luke and made eye contact for a small second before looking away
] he noticed this eye contact and felt his cheeks heating up, although he quickly got himself together and reminded himself that he had to deal with his crush's boyfriend for the remainder of the school day and Karl was just looking around and most likely death staring at him or something
$ -he looked at Nick who had a very unamused but flustered expression and gave a small chuckle, turning to George. "Are you excited?" He asked, starting up more conversation whilst he tried to keep in his excitement which was bursting from the seams-
% yea! I'm especially excited for the walruses because they embody my personality" he smiled a little more wanting to be with Karl
but he and Clay did sit together in geography for 3 months so I guess he got to know clay more during the trip
$ He chuckled and crossed his arms and leaned back a little. "I'm excited for the penguins," He said with a toothy smile. letting out a small sigh. "Not so thrilled about answering questions though" He laughed softly.
% I heard they're pretty easy if you paid attention to the last class. He basically explained what the questions were asking and I can help you with them! Isn't that the whole point of having partners?" he raised an eyebrow at him as they walked into the bus to find a spot
$ yeah yeah -he chuckled, following George and then taking the seat next to him when he chose their spot- I know how to answer them I just don't want to y'know? -he laughed, leaning back and watching as other people boarded the bus-
% true, it does take the whole experience away doesn't it" he pursed his lips together in disappointment enjoying his window seat as the bus started up
$ He nodded, sitting back and silently celebrating in his mind that he got to sit with his crush. "We'll try to get them done as soon as possible" He offered, looking back at George with a smile.
% yea and there are only like 20 questions so it's nothing outrageous " he shrugged smiling back at Clay brightly, pretty excited for the day ahead as he bounced his leg in anticipation, liking their chemistry together
< -Luke stopped looking at Karl and then turned to Nick- hey! you're in my health class, aren't you? -he asked in a chill kind of tone, looking at the slightly taller, black-haired boy-
] "Yeah, I'm in the front row. it's such an uncomfortable class but y'know it's required" he shrugged getting in line to get on the bus not knowing why Luke was being so nice to him because he was kind of a d!ck to a lot of people
< I know -he said in agreement, walking onto the bus and ruffling up Karl's hair when he passed his seat. He took the seat behind Karl's but because he got in first, he ended up sitting behind Karl's partner and Nick got to sit behind Karl- I feel bad because you sit in the front -he said with a chuckle-
