I got out my books as the final people shuffled through the cramped tables to get to their seats. Miss.Parker logged on to her computer and turned on the interactive whiteboard. "Because we're in a small room today" she said, "there's no point everyone getting up to do the task I prepared. " A small smile appeared on most peoples faces. "Whilst I am getting everything else ready, just talk to the person next to you about the three types of geography we've been studying...that's physical, environmental and human for anyone who wasn't listening." She paused. "Mr.Williams." Greyson looked up from his phone which I could tell he had either been playing cookie clicker or flappy bird on because he had been tapping his phone constantly since he came in. Miss.Parker narrowed her eyes at him, but kept a small grin on her face. Greyson smiled sheepishly in reply and shoved his phone back in his pocket. "If I see it again, it will be up on my desk until the end of the lesson." She nodded at us that we could begin and the classroom erupted into chatter. I turned to Storm. He wasn't looking at me and I tried to speak but no words came out. I realised I had no idea what to say to him. After a few seconds, I finally came out with "Do you want to talk about physical geography first?" I cringed as I said it, hoping he wouldn't get the wrong idea. Storm had no reaction as usual. He didn't reply, he didn't even look up. I tried continuing, but he didn't answer so in the end-I gave up.
Two minutes ticked by which in the awkward silence felt like forever. Miss.Parker had gotten up and closed the door making me feel claustrophobic in the stuffy room. She raised her hand for silence. The voices gradually died down as she began to explain our task. " I want you, in pairs..." Before she could finish people mumbled "work with me" and nudged each other. Misha smiled at me from the back table and I nodded. "Shhh" Miss.Parker continued. "You will be working with the person next to you to save moving around." Some people were happy, others not so much. I don't really know what I was. "I want you to write up some posters on the three types of Geogrpahy, giving examples and effects. I don't mind how you do it and you can come and get a laptop or look at the textbooks, but don't think just because todays lesson is a bit more free that you can get away without doing any work. Clear?" Most people just stared blankly back at her. "Ok off you go." The class split off to work and I turned to Storm again. "I think we should write it up ourselves, because then it would show more effort." I said hoping he would answer this time or at least argue he wanted to do it on a laptop. He kind of reacted-by shrugging and I suddenly felt a bit mad. I sure as hell wasn't going to do this all by myself. I sighed and stood up causing my chair to scrape loudly. Storm flinched slightly. I guess he wasn't expecting that. I wondered over to get some paper and Misha arrived at the same time. "How is it working with emo boy?" she asked. I picked up a pot of colouring pens. "Not to great." I replied. "He won't do anything. " Storm was drawing in another book that Jamie obviously hadn't got his hands on. He looked up as if he sensed my stare and our eyes locked for a second. I turned back to Misha. "Yeah, not great" I repeated. "I'm just glad I'm with Jamie she said also picking up a pot of colouring pens and getting ready to walk off. She didnt look too sure. "Lucky you" I giggled with a hint of sarcasm as we moved away from the table that had all the resources on. She giggled back and I placed the paper and pens down next to Storm. He slammed his notepad shut but still didn't bloody do anything. "Look Storm." I said trying to keep my cool. "I'm not doing this on my own, so can you help me?" My head subconsciously turned to the side to try and make me look cute and encourage him. "Please." I softened my tone at the end and kept my gaze on his face. After a few seconds, he sighed and turned in his chair to face me, the chains on his boots jangling. "Ok I'll help you" he grumbled. I smiled in thanks and started to ask him about the poster.
