Stupid With Love • Kreamus ✔️

STUPID WITH LOVE.

Miss Janeth was taking attendance for her Algebra class. "Tarron, Krel?"

Krel jogs into the classroom, "Here! I'm here, I'm sorry I'm late!" She nods and Krel goes and sits down while she finishes.

"Johnson, Seamus?"

"Here." He turns around to face Krel, as said boy looks up from his paper. "Hi, I'm Seamus."

"Me. Krel."

Seamus chuckles quietly. "Are you new?"

Krel quickly breaks out of his trance, "Uh- Yeah I-I just moved here so I could have human friends." Seamus just smiles and nods before turning back around. Krel slaps his forehead.

Miss Janeth starts her class. "Okay, let's dive right in. Chapter one; limits and their properties." She hears Toby mumble. "What the heck are limits, did you say?" He nods, embarrassed at being heard, while Jim chuckles. "Okay well. If I write out the equation: the limit as X approaches 2 of X+1. The function is what we're taking the limit of. I don't expect you to know yet.." Krel and Seamus both raise their hands, she points at Krel.

"X=3!"

"That's right, actually.." Miss Janeth is shocked as Seamus is the only one to know these equations that fast. "Uh- let's try another one. Find the value of K for which the following limit exists. Now, for the limit to exist we have to cancel X minus 3 from the denominator.." She glances at the class and sees Krel with his hand up. She gestures for him to answer.

"K=-3?"

"Yes!"

"Damn! Okay new kid." Steve jokes, causing Krel to laugh.

Seamus turns back around, "Wow, are you trying to make the rest of us feel dumb?" Not even he knew that answer.

"I'm not trying to. It's just happening."

"Okay, challenge accepted! I'll have to play at your level." Krel zones out as Seamus carries on talking.

'When I was five, I fell in love. It didn't last. He ran from me. Literally ran from me, and being Akiridion he ran fast.'

"Miss Janeth's tough and a little weird, but you'll like her eventually."

"Oh! Like snake meat!" Seamus just awkwardly smiles and turns back around. Krel grabs his hair in frustration.

'When I was ten, in love again - this peace corps guy. I waited hours, outside his house with flowers, which made him laugh, which made me cry.'

He sighs, lifting his head up so his teacher thinks he's paying attention.

'By thirteen I gave up trying, I decided I would be a mathematician...'Cause math is real. I memorized a lot of pi because addition and subtraction and division would never make me feel so stupid with love! Like I didn't get it. I didn't get it, somehow. Smart with math but stupid with love. I didn't get it. I didn't get it...'Till now.'

"Do you have an eraser?"

"I would love to!" Krel grimaces and hands Seamus his pencil which has one on the end.

'So thank you, math, for being there to bring me joy!'

Seamus hands it back with a smile.

'And thank you, math, 'cause now you brought me this cute boy!'

Seamus raises his hand enthusiastically, "Is it two?"

"Yes!" Miss Janeth exclaims as no one was getting it.

Seamus turns to Krel and punches the air, Krel does it back, "Yeah..!" The blonde turns back.

'He's like someone from T.V. He's like that guy who gives out roses to those women. His clothes, his grooming. And he's foot away from me with swoopy hair and shiny eyes that I could swim in. He is live and in the room!'

Krel reaches out to touch his shoulder before realising what's he's doing and quickly putting his hand down. Aja raises her eyebrow when she sees it out of the corner of her eye, her brother just ignores her which makes her roll her eyes with a smile.

'And I'm stupid with love! I wanna get it. I wanna get it, but how?'

He looks at the equation on the board, writing down his workings.

'Smart with math, but stupid with love. I wanna get it. I didn't get it 'till now.'

Him and Seamus raise their hands at the same time. "Two over zero is undefined?"

Seamus turns for a high five, "Jinx!" Krel laughs, giving him the high five. As the boy in front turns around, Krel just stares at his palm.

'I'm astounded and non-plussed. I am filled with calculust. Does this guy work out? He must. All sweaty at the gym.'

Krel goes wide-eyed at the thought, looking down at his work.

'Could that image be more hot? Let me just enjoy that thought...School was rough but now it's not. 'Cause now there's him. It's all so simple.'

He smiles looking back up.

'Stupid with love! But I can get it. Watch this boy self-educate. I learned math so I can learn love. You wanna bet it? That I can get it? Just wait. Just wait. Just wait!'

He looks at Seamus and grins.
