More than a tragedy (BxB)

Friends and laughter

"BELLAMY!"

"Huh?" I turn my head towards the loud voice and my eyes meet my biology teacher.

"Nice of you to finally wake up and join the lesson"

I stare at him, probably looking like a tired mess. As i'm about to say something, he chimes in.

"Since you seem to know enough to be able to fall asleep during my class then you must be able to teach the rest of the class here about the respiratory system."

I look at him and sigh. 

"I mean I could but then you'd be out of a job and i'm not particularly interested in taking over yours."

He looks at me half amused and half like he wants to rip my head off.

"Alright smart guy why don't you make your way up to the front of the class then. Consider this your practice interview for your brand new job."

"Did I not just tell you that I don't want to be a teacher" Without leaving him time to respond I start explaining the ins and outs of the respiratory system while making my way to the front of the class to draw it on the board. Halfway through my explanation, when it became clear that I knew what I was talking about, the teacher looked at me and said: "Alright you've proved your point." I nod and turn away. I wasn't trying to be some sort of smart ass either I just enjoy sticking it to people. As I reach my desk I hear:

"Nice work Bellamy but meet me after class"

I take my seat and the girl next to me leans my way and whispers.

"How the hell did you know that"

I shrug not really feeling like explaining myself to her and she says.

"Okay okay don't tell me. I'm Avery by the way."

"Hey Avery" I say and then thinking back to my encounter with Isaac, I add " I'm Bellamy"

She lets out a quick laugh and goes " I know. He" She points towards the teacher. "Had been yelling your name for a while to get you to wake up."

I shrug, more interested in Avery but still not feeling too talkative. I did just wake up after all.

"Well" She says. "If you need someone to sit with at lunch feel free to join me and my friends we sit towards the right of the cafeteria.

I smile at her and say "Thanks, appreciate it"

Avery turns back to her notes and continues writing them. I expected her notes to look like calligraphy and well... artsy but to my surprise they were a disaster. Pretty much illegible scribbles. I quietly said "huh" as I voiced my surprise. She turned to me but brushed it off. I smile and think to myself that Avery gets more interesting by the second.

The bell announcing the end if class rings and I almost leave the class but then I do a 180 reminding myself of the teachers request. Once everyone leaves he speaks.

"Is it okay if I close the door?"

I nod yes thinking that asking was really considerate.

"I won't take too much of your time I just wanted to ask you how advanced you are in the material"

"Oh. Well it's kind of complicated but to sum it up, I research things that i'm interested in. I learn it. I move on. But I haven't learned all of the biology curriculum if that's what you were wondering."

He nods and I worry for a second thinking that he may suspect that something more is going on but he simply says. "Okay"

As i'm making my way out of the class I hear, "Oh, and Bellamy." I turn around. "You know if you ever need anything i'll be here." I smile and say: "thanks" and exit to the chaotic hallways of the school.
