The school was a death trap, more so than usual.

Virgil didn't know who's idea it had been to let the students decorate it for christmas, but he actively loathed whoever that was. Or perhaps the students who had done the decorating. Or both?

Anyway, he could live with the tinsel taped to the top of the lockers, the Christmas-y art that they've made in art class hung to the walls, stars and candles in the windows, even the Christmas wreaths with pictures of the teachers faces that hung on the doors to their classrooms. But the mistletoe that had been hung up in the ceiling in every corridor and many of the doorways? 

Why would anyone think that was a good idea?

Sure, he could understand that some people were excited to get stuck under a mistletoe with their crush, like his friend Roman who was very eager to lure his crush with him. And sure, maybe Virgil wouldn't hate it if he would find himself standing under a mistletoe with a certain someone, but still. 

Since his previous lesson ended he'd already seen one guy get punched for kissing someone else's girlfriend, and seen a group of guys find themselves under a mistletoe and then when noticing it running for their lives and pushing their friends away if they got too close while calling them gay. This was a setup for disaster.

"Hello, Virgil!" A familiar voice said and Virgil looked up in time to see one of his best friends bouncing towards him, then wrapping his arms around him.

"Hey, Patton." Virgil said, hugging him back and seeing Roman and Logan as he looked over Patton's shoulder, and Roman gave him a knowing grin and a look that Virgil was well aware of what it meant. He stuck his tongue out at him and then stepped out of Patton's embrace.

"We've all got math first lesson, don't we?" Logan asked, sounding more pleased than anyone should. Virgil sighed and nodded and Roman made a grimace.

"It was awful that you weren't at the last math lesson, Logan, I'm at least a page behind, you have to help me." Patton said, Roman nodding in agreement. Honestly, if it wasn't for Logan Virgil thought they would all fail math. He was the only one with any brain cells left.

"Yeah, we had a substitute and I don't think he even passed high school math, he wasn't any help at all." Roman stared up at the ceiling, probably searching for mistletoe.

"Unsurprising," Logan said, who knew which substitute teacher they were talking about, "anyway, let's get to class on time."

They started walking towards their classroom even though it was about fifteen minutes until the lesson would start, but at least they'd waste five of those minutes while walking through the whole school to get to the math class which seemed to always be as far away as possible.

"Ooh, mistletoe!" Roman exclaimed, staring up at the ceiling and then at Logan who was walking next to him. Virgil didn't think Roman had accidentally stepped underneath the plant at all. Logan glanced up, unphazed.

"Now, see, that is actually holly, not mistletoe. The two are often mixed up." He said and kept walking. Roman threw a long look after him and Patton gave him a pat on the shoulder as he walked by him. Virgil was careful to walk as far away from the holly as he could. Mistletoe or not, he wasn't going to be standing beneath it.

"Is he seriously that dense?" Roman whined quietly, following him and Patton, still staring at Logan who was walking ahead of them. Virgil wasn't sure that was a question that Roman wanted them to answer and therefore said nothing.
