Teach Me Something New

Chapter 8

I woke up to the smell of coffee and toast as Joy and Joe were working together to get breakfast together, laughing.

Groaning softly I sat up, stretching my stiff limbs, before moving to the dining table where Joy set a sitting for me, placing a freshly made coffee there for me as I sit down, smiling in thanks.

As we all sat down for breakfast, Joy and Joe were talking about her music class, while I sat there silently eating, not that I minded. I woke up in an introverted mood, I just wanted to be alone. Luckily it's Friday then no more school for a few days.

I quickly finished breakfast, nodding to Joy and Joe in thanks before getting up to have a shower and get changed.

Changing into a Sleeping With Sirens' hoodie and black leggings with one leg pulled up above my cast before putting on black flats. But not before checking the fresh cuts, seeing none of them infected I put some concealer on them to hide them if my hoodie raises.

As I left the room and made my way to the front door and car, where Joy and Joe were waiting, with my bag along with them. I smiled in thanks.

As arrived at school we all did our standards goodbye, a fist bump from me to Joe and a hug and kiss from Joy and Joe, before getting out of the car and heading to our lockers then our classes.

Reaching our lockers, I leant against my locker while Joy sorted out her stuff.

"What you got?" I asked. Trying to sneak a peek at her timetable that's taped to her locker door.

"Maths than music, you?" She answered, getting the things that she required for those lessons.

"Photography than a free," I answered with a shrug, my first lessons were more laid back.

Joy nodded as she closed and locked her locker before following me to my class, she seemed to be a bit nervous which wasn't normal, so I knew she wanted to say something.

"You okay Joy?" I asked, looking at her from the corner of my eye.

"Maybe later, Shadow," she replied, I nodded in response, letting it go, I didn't want to push her too far.

"All good," I said, as we just reached my class.

"See you later," Joy said, giving me a quick hug before heading towards her class before the tardy bell rings in a few minutes.

As I sat down in my normal seat, Mrs Wine looked up from her laptop, probably doing the role as students arrived, I smiled at her softly, leaning back in my chair waiting for the rest of the class to get here so we can begin.

Halfway through class, we were allowed to leave and take some photos, sighing I moved to stand up, but Janette bet me, grabbing my crutches and holding them up for me in assistance.

"Thank you, Janette," I say, placing the camera's strap around my neck so I can move better.

"You're very much welcome," Janette replies mocking a low bow, "May I accompany you?"

"You may," I reply, giving a small laugh - she must be on something to act like this out of nowhere.

Smiling, Janette gabbed a camera for herself before we both left together to go find random objects to take photos of.

After a while I sat down on a random bench, resting after taking quite a few pictures and started watching Janette do her own thing, watching her technique with the camera and what she finds good enough to be captured in time.
