Under Winter Stars - Ross x Robert Story

Suspension - Chapter 30

Robert's POV:

"You sit there," the teacher instructs Roy, pointing to a desk. He points to Ross next, "You there," and then me, "And you there."

We all sat down in the seats we were told to then wait for the teacher to tell us what we were supposed to be doing. He sat Roy all the way in the back far left, Ross two rows ahead to the right, and me in the very front to the left. There was no way we'd be able to talk with each other without getting caught, what are we supposed to do in here for eight hours?!

The teacher grabs a piece of chalk and begins writing on the board. It was just rules after rule after rule, to make it worse his handwriting was horrible so we could hardly tell what he was writing, Roy writes better than this, which says a lot.

"Rule number one, no one leaves the room except to use the restroom, and only one at a time. Rule number two, no talking. Rule number three, no phones. Rule number..."

He went on rambling about the rules for what felt like forever. But since he was turned around i took the opportunity to take a paper and pencil out from my bag and write a note for Ross and Roy:

"Any ideas on how to make this NOT boring??"

I folded it into a paper airplane then turned to Ross, since he's closest.

"Pass to Roy when you're done." I mouthed.

He gave me a thumbs up and I proceeded to throw the plane at him, it landed perfectly on his desk. He opened it, read it, and scribbled some stuff before crumbling it into a ball and throwing it right at Roy's head. He almost yelled at him but he surprisingly held it in, at the cost of his face turning completely red. Me and Ross quietly laughed as he unscrambled the paper ball and read what we wrote. He scribbled some stuff down, quietly walked over to Ross, and slammed it onto his face so hard he almost fell backwards on his chair.

The teacher, who was still ranting and writing down god knows what, heard the slam and turned around. Thankfully Roy was already back in his seat and Ross had put the paper in his pocket. He glared at us for a minute.

"If you break any of these rules that's another day of suspension and a write-up. Got it?" he asks.

We all nod our heads in agreement and with that the teacher walks over to his desk and sits down.

I turned my head towards Ross, waiting for him to figure out how to pass the paper to me. When he realized I was waiting for him he took the paper out from his pocket and set it on the floor. He slid it towards me and I quickly picked it up when it got close then put it on my desk. I took my notebook out from my bag so it looked like I was doing something then finally sat up straight. I looked down at the paper and read it:

"I dont have any, theres too many rules :/ - Ross

What if rob went to the nurse with you and I went to the bathroom? You think hed fall for it? - Roy

Maybe, he does look really old. Rob what do you think? - Ross"

I made sure the teacher wasn't looking before turning back to them to give them a thumbs up. They gave a thumbs up back before I turned back to the front to think of how I could get a pass to the nurse.

I couldn't really think of anything, if I said I had a headache he'd probably go to the nurse for me and get me some pain meds. If I gave myself a paper cut or something he'd just give me a bandaid, since most teachers carry around a first-aid kit. Maybe I could lie about feeling dizzy. That's probably my best bet.

And with that I raised my hand, the teacher nodded his head at me as a gesture for me to go ahead and speak.

"Can I go to the nurse? I feel dizzy and um... nauseous." I lie.
