"Please make the flower garlands. Both of my hands are too occupied for writing lectures!"
Ms. Mendeleeiv kept on blabbering about Science. Nathaniel had his eyes on the teacher while his hands are under his desk... making flower garlands. The teacher was just elaborating on how a human person farts after they die before the bell rang.
Everyone but him exited the room. When the coast is almost clear, he brought out the tray carrying a bowl of flowers and a thin wire. Before he inserted another flower, he heard someone calling his name.
He followed the voice and saw your head, peeking by the doorway. With a timid smile, you presented him a handful of flower garland you made on your own last night. Nathaniel ecstatically smiled.

"I don't want to spend my time beating eggs. It's better to beat my Maths."
Nathaniel was mixing the batter while you pour a bowl of it inside the cupcake tray. The container was filled halfway. Now with the tray done, how are you supposed to bake the cupcakes if the school's oven was not working?
The both of you stared at it, clueless.
"I have an idea," you started.
He looked at you questioningly.
In your place, you ran and ran, slowly breaking into a sweat. Not long after, you heard the familiar beeping. When you were sure that your heart beat isn't going down sooner, you stopped and touched the tray. Slowly, the cupcakes were baking and rising. Whenever the beeping stops, you'd run again, not letting go of the container. After a while, it was finished. You and Nathaniel looked at each other in victory.

"I don't really like cleaning for plants... I like cleaning dead bodies more!" He showed you his forceps and a dead frog hanging in his fingers.
You dug through the dirt with your shovel as Nathaniel beside you was diligently watering the planted seeds.
"Oh! And can you please destroy the plants from the other sections? We don't want them getting the better score."
The two of you stared at the plant box in front of you that clearly belonged to the class next to them. You shared a blank, knowing look before taking a step, escalating to jumping and skipping around the box, completely destroying the plants and shrubs. You couldn't help but feel guilty for effectively ruining the juniors' hard work so you just clasped your hands together and silently prayed. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" You said in a panic.
You continued to jump up and down while saying sorry, failing to notice the redhead watching you in amusement, as he stomped on his own set of plants. He laughed to himself.

"Lastly, clean our classroom so that we'd get lots of extra credit!"
Nathaniel wiped one of the desk as you slowly toured around the room to pick up trash along the way. The atmosphere was quiet, yet calming. You liked this comfortable silence as the two of you just do your own thing.
You crouch down next to a desk and spotted a couple of crumpled papers, putting them inside your trash bag. "Some of them are so damn disorganized," you muttered to yourself. You stood up and began to walk back, not expecting to feel actual static electricity when your elbow collided into Nathaniel's.
