Sidemen Imagines

Snow (Simon #19)

This is based on a personal experience. It's not 100% true/accurate but it is to a great extent. Also college in the England is from ages 16-18, in some cases 19 if you retake a year, and you don't have to be in college all day in some colleges - you just come in for your lessons and then go home if you wish. Thank you, now onto the story.

It wasn't a typical Friday at college today. For me a normal Friday consists of my being at college from 9am till 4pm, but that's not the case today. Today I finish at 1:30pm as my last lesson is cancelled, as my teacher's out on a fieldwork trip and it also just happens to be that my teacher for first lesson is also on the trip, meaning I only have two teachers out of four today. However there's still work to be done for first lesson, so I still have to come in early. However this means my class will be unsupervised for a whole hour and a half, meaning chaos. Even though my class is full of 16 and 17 year olds, when there's no teacher a good third of the class go hyper, acting like children. It can be annoying when you're trying to work but to be honest I love these lessons. They're really entertaining and make me laugh a lot.

"Is he not here?" JJ asks as he parades through the door, slightly late, and referring to the teacher i presume. A lot of shaking heads answer his question. "Sick," he says as he advances over to the teachers special spiny chair and plonks down carelessly into it. I find myself rolling my eyes at his incompetence. He continues to act the class clown as he travels across the room whilst maintaining the chair beneath him.

"Why is he always so annoying?" I ask my friend, Freya, who's sat to my right.

"Cause it's JJ and he has to be centre of attention," she replies back in the same frustrated tone as what I asked the question in.

"Yeah, but still." I pause for a moment as I answer the next exam question before stopping after finishing just that one. "But even when the teacher is here he's just as stupid and why does he always have to float around the room not doing work when he should be? Urghhh it shouldn't get to me but it's just that he's just the most annoying boy here!"

Freya turns to me with a look of slight shock even though I know she feels the same, "yeah," she quietly answers before continuing to work. I find myself scanning the room in search of some excitement, or chat to listen in on, or join to distract myself. My eyes stop when they reach Simon, the boy who's stuck sat next to that dickhead, even though they chose their seats. "I have to feel sorry for Simon though. I think he's genuinely quite a good student and clever enough, but when JJ's sat with him it distracts him a lot and he joins in on the stupidity."

"Awwww defending loverboy," Freya says, rising from her work and wiggling her shoulders and eyebrows at me. My eyes roll backwards and I fiddle with my pen, whilst reading the next question, but now I'm the one who can't concentrate as Freya's still wobbling her shoulders at me.

"Stop," I tell her, my voice breaking a pitch with each syllable. She does listen, looking satisfied with a wide smirk across her face, before she's drawn back to her paper. Come on (Y/N) only two more three mark questions to go and then you're finished with a good hour of the lesson remaining to do nothing.

About 5 minutes pass by. Freya has now finished her work and wandering over to the whiteboard and started drawing on it out of boredom. Dashing through the last sentence, I come to a halt, as my eyes glare away from Freya onto Simon who's staring out the window. Following his gaze I find the window to my left and it appears to be very lightly snowing on the other side of the glass.

Before I can really take it in, my thoughts are disrupted by a very loud voice, "It's snowing!" JJ practically screams as he jumps over to the window. A lot of the class also proceed to the window, but at a more civilised pace. I join them after I finish my last sentence, capping my pen and squeeze my way to the window.
