Opposites Attract, Apparently. *MAYBE PROBABLY DEAD*

How Exhausting.

Ants POV-

Holy crap. I feel... exhausted...? Is that what it's usually like to have a normal conversation? I feel lightheaded. I drowsily walked to my next class, mainly trying to block out any thoughts of Sparklez, even though I know he's also going to English. My head did hurt. And my chest felt fluttery. Whatever.

I sat down in the front of the classroom again. I lied my head down on the crappy desk, and waited for the teacher to get here. I didn't care about the other students anymore. I just felt tired. I wasn't used to this kinda of social contact.

I heard the scuffling of feet and students entered the room. I looked up for a moment to see the kid named Sky sit next to me. And to my other side, was Sparklez. Well. It can't be that bad. I looked behind me, and two seats behind me there was a girl in purple. She had blonde hair and nice eyes. She smiled at me. I blushed and nervously smiled back. I guess she was kinda cute. I don't even know her name, though.

"Hey, you know Grail?" Sky muttered to me, glancing back.

"I, uh, no actually, I don't." I whispered back.

"Dude, she's totally checking you out. Sky, by the way. You're Ant right? The smart kid?" Sky smiled bright, pushing his shades up.

"Nice to meet you, Sky. Yeah, that's me. But yeah, I dunno about Grail. She's really popular and stuff with the girls." I mumbled back.

"Well, I think you might have the two most popular male and female in the school about to battle. Over you. Sparklypants over there is totally glaring her down. I think he might be jealous." Sky smirked, with a confident tone.

"H-How can you tell? No way, I'm not that important." I blushed, and completely refused to believe what Sky had said. I'm just some kid, anyway.

"I know a lot about people and emotions and body language. Sparklez is leaning in forward and clenching his fists really aggressively, like he could just stand up and block her view from you. Grail is leaning back, like she's totally confident that Sparklez is no threat. I'm a professional on this stuff, Ant, my boy."

I immediately felt my face heat up. That was enough reasoning for me. I looked at Sparklez, who was glaring at Grail, and then I looked to Grail, who winked at me. I whipped back around, and faced forward attentively, trying to avoid any eye contact with anyone. I heard Sky chuckle and he patted me on the back. I heard him whisper something like "He wasn't readyyyyy!" and I glared at him.

The teacher walked in, and blabbed about classes and rules. I barely listened. I just sat there until class was over.

When the bell rung, I immediately stood up and walked out the door, along with the other students. I groaned and started walking to next to my next class. Sky came up behind me, and threw an arm over my shoulders. I jumped, not used to physical contact. "Hey, Sky."

"Ant! As soon as the bell rang, you disappeared! What happened?!" Sky exclaimed.

"Like you said Sky," I chucked, "I wasn't readyyyyyy..." I gave a faint smile, using Sky's joke. It didn't sound as right from me though. Sky still grinned.

"Still. I can tell you're not really big on the whole social thing, but do you wanna hang with me and my squad later sometime, that would be pretty cool!" Sky smiled, adjusting his shades.

"I dunno, I've never really hung with anyone's squad before..." I thought it over. I would probably embarrass myself. I don't even know his squad. But it'd still be cool because I don't have any friends. "I guess so. Sure. When can we hang?" I gave a faint smile.

"Today, I guess! Me and my team were gonna just chill after school. Play some games, eat a ton of food. Sound good?"

"Sure, yeah!" I nodded. Nice, I think I have friends now!

Sky walked away to a different class, and I shuffled quickly to mine. I don't think I've ever been late to a class before. Huh. I sped down the hallway and into the room, throwing myself into a seat. Closest to the door. That's a good seat. Nice. The teacher looked at me, and looked confused. "Mr. Harris?"

I panicked a bit. I tried to look casual. I probably looked like a weenie. "Th-That's me." My voice cracked. God damn it.

"Alright. Everyone is here." She sighed like she was annoyed, and started introducing herself, her rules, and our first lesson. Craftian Mythology. One of my favorite subjects, nice.
