Bunk

Simons p.o.v

I was in lesson. Lesson 2. It was a Tuesday and I just couldn't be arsed today! How many minutes left of this torture! Simon spoke in his head. He tapped his pen on the desk and just sat staring at the chalkboard. "Simon!" The teacher yelled. "Uh uh yes miss, yes miss" I stuttered. "Do you know the answer?" She question with a grin on her face. She knew he wasn't paying attention, that's why she did it! I smiled "no I do not!" I gleefully said. "What a shame" she shrugged. "The answer to 6 x 3 is 18, that's basic maths Simon, shame you didn't understand, maybe you need to down a level, but your at the bottom set, that's is such a shame" everyone started to laugh at Me. I did his head into his sleeve as the laughing echoed in his head.

"SILENCE!" The teacher demanded. She had a stern face as her eyes paced round the classroom looking at each individual pupil. "Simon, I'd like you to understand that my classroom is NOT your bedroom so you mustn't sleep or not pay attention! I have you know maths is one of the most important subjects you'll EVER learn in life, do you understand me?" She leaned against the desk holding herself on the desk by her arms. "Yes miss" I said with his head down. "I DIDN'T HEAR YOU!" The teacher became more and more angry by the minute. "Yes miss!" I shouted. "Good, now would anyone else like to sleep in my class?" She asked with a smile on her face and had a soft tone. "No miss" everyone said in unison. "Good, shall we continue?" Miss asked a rhetorical question. "Where were we? Ah yes! Pie charts, so the pie chart says that—-" I was no longer paying attention to the lesson again.

Soon enough, the bell rang. I got up and left before the teacher could say anything. I walked to a tree outside and sat there. My eyes uncontrollably started to water. Soon I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up to see Harry. "Hi, you ok?" He asked as he slid down the tree. "Yea yea," I wiped my eyes a bit and sniffled. "I just got a bit of a cold" I added as I shuffled over to give him some room. "You don't seem ok, but if you don't want to open up to me," He got up and started to climb the tree, he grunted as he pulled himself up. "Then you don't have to" he caught his breath. "I'm Harry by the way, wanna come up here with me?" I smiled at his kindness and nodded. "Give me your hand, I'll help you up" he said as he held his hand out to me. I obliged and I eventually climbed up. "Thanks, Harry" I thanked as he pulled up my backpack. "Oh it's fine, I didn't catch your name" he smiled at me and I smiled back. "Simon" I held out my hand to shake his. "Nice to meet you Simon" he shook my hand and put mine and his bag on a small branch. "What have you got next?" He asks me. "I think I've got music" I replied still unsure though. "Nice, I've got English"

The bell rang and I grabbed my bag. "Well I'll see you at lunch" I added as I hoped down. "I'll be here, I'm bunking my next lesson, it's too boring" he said as he swung off a branch and down onto the floor. "You bunk?" I asked, intrigued. "Well yeah, all the time" he said as he walked with me. "Is it fun?" I seemed like I was 2 years old, intrigued by anything and everything. "Hell yeah it's fun, I like to walk round the school and try and get past hall monitors without them seeing, it's amazing!" He added at the end. "Can I bunk with you then?" I asked. "Yeah of course! Don't mess me up because I've never been caught! Not once!" He jokingly said. "I'll try" I laughed.

"KIDS! GET TO LESSON! YOU'RE LATE!" a hall monitor shouted our way. "Can't go back now, unless you want a detention for being late" Harry jokes. "Guess not" I laughed. "Come with me" Harry said as he looked at the hall monitor and crouched. "Ok" I crouched with him and we both ran to the bathroom. We hid in a cubicle and waited for a moment for the bathroom monitor to come in and check for people who aren't using the toilets. Harry looked above the stalls and saw nobody was there. "Shhh! This way" he whispered as he grabbed my wrist and led me to the corridors, a hall monitor was walking up and down the hall. Harry laughed quietly. "Now let's go" Harry sprinted down the hall. He turned to see a hall monitor was about to turn around. "Quick" he grabbed my hand and hid in a different corridor. He peered his head round the corner and the hall monitor was looking the other way.

He led me underneath a staircase. "We should be fine here" he said. He spoke quietly but not as quiet as before. "So, what do you wanna talk about?" I asked him. He looked at me "Well, you and Josh are close..." he paused. "Well yeah, we're like best friends" I was confused. "You seem cute together" Harry pointed out. "Fuck off harry" I slapped him on the arm. "I'm not joking you genuinely look cute together" he put his hands up and laughed with me. "I appreciate your support but I'm not gay for Josh" I laughed. "Hmmm give it time, give it time" Harry joked. "Shut up!" I digged Harry in the side. "Ouch!" He shouted. I placed my hand on his mouth "shut the fuck up!" I whispered loudly.

"Hello?" A hall monitor shouted. "Someone there!" He added. "Right this might seem crazy but don't stop me, ok?" I said as I looked to see he was turned round. "Ok?" Harry said. I walked out in plane sight, pretending I came from the stairs. "Bunking class are we?" The hall monitor said. "No sir, I'm delivering a message to someone from my teacher" I said hesitating because I thought he'd question who. "Ok well why did you say ouch?" He asked. "I-I" I stuttered for a moment. "I was walking down the stairs and I got a bit of cramp in my leg sir" I said as casual as possible. "Ok, well be careful next time ok" he smiled at me and turned round. I walked into an empty classroom and walked out pretending to deliver a message. I walked up the stairs. Seconds later I came down and sat under the stairs with Harry.

"Holy fuck Simon!" He was impressed and he got excited. "That was fucking amazing!" He whispered so loudly the hall monitor could've heard him. "You need to be careful, I'm meant to be the one getting shushed" I joked. "I've never bunked with a friend before! I'm excited!" He laughed. "I can tell" I smirked.

The bell rang and everyone came rushing out. We got from under the stairs and talked to each other til we parted to our next lesson. "See you round Simon" Harry shouted "See you Harry" I smiled as I waved goodbye.

It was a fun 3rd lesson, the best 3rd lesson I've ever had actually, I should do it more often.
