"So call him a fool; so call him lost. But his dreams were a fire that defied the sky, and his story, though lonely, beca....."
The words fell flat as Miss ivory finally closed the book like it had so personal feud with her life and dragged her vision from one corner to another of the seemingly empty classroom with five of the most promising students in the school, Nobody wanted to be the first victim of her damned session.
"Interpretation" she said, her voice cranky,
"anyone guys...."
Silence, utter silence seed to radiate from the classroom and finally soone broke it with a yawn and followed by the sounds of pen clattering with tallic rulers.
Finally Max who was sprawled across his chair like a first-rate corpse, his golden hair shining in the evening light, raised a hand without bothering to lift his head, why? because you had to look cool when your teacher is the most beautiful younger teacher in the whole campus, in the place where beauty is non-existent and even dogs have better facial structure than those ’homosapiens’ with more facial hair than skin itself, so things had to be done.
So "Miss-Ivory with all due respect...
Why the hell are we being taught about this philosophical shit when exams are still days away.
Before the teacher could respond, Lucas shot him a glare sharp enough to cut steel,
Yeah! No shit-Sherlock, rember that you bastard, you made both of us bunk five-classes on ’prehistorical lodrama’.
Thats why we are stuck cramming those at this ti you piece of shit.
Max raised both of his arms innocently,
"Hey don’t bla for having a real social life than your’s filled with those bootleg gas with thousand hours of grinding your wrinkled ass on it".
The other three students snored seemingly unimpressed by the class due to their late night study sessions, which were obviously faker than crocodile tears, as they visited every gaming-zone in the city just to find the ’one’.
Miss Ivory cut in, her voice filled with dry sarcasm or cough,
"Gentleman" please do not add more to my regrets, as I am already regretting not marrying that dentist in my college who had asked out, if i had, I would have been sipping on the ’Château Cheval Blanc’ seeing the sunset in Paris, but NO! I had to follow my passion and the noble cause of educating you hormonal shits, so lets not add-on on my suffering.
The class erupted in laughter as even those three hardcore gars woke from their power-nap while Lucas cracked a grin.
Max leaned back in his chair still stiffling from the laughter, as he began
"Well Miss-Ivory for what its worth, you look way too good to teach at this dump"
There was a silence and lucas started whistling as is if this was so rom-com taking place from his point of view.
Miss-Ivory tilted her head which was half amusent and half warning,
"Careful max flattery might get you an extra mark or detention which is hard to say at this hour...."
Max blinked and then blinked again as he had been caught off-guard and for the first ti his usual smugness was replaced with a faint blush in the evening golden rays of the dawn.
The room chuckled again happy to see this instead of that textbook crap, while Max sat like a soldier muttering "Worth the shot boys"
-----------
The class then dragged itself on gloriously for two more hours after which Miss-Ivory finally waved them off with a sigh to rethink about her groundbreaking life-decisions.
Max streched running a hand through his golden-hair, lucas anwhile packed his bags with an exhaustion of a man working 24x7 in a dical shop.
Together they stepped off the campus gates and the cold evening air hit them hard.
Just then.
"Max"
A voice, like more shriller version of a feminine in-ga voice made its way to lucas ears, while Max made the face of seeing sunshine for the first ti and yeah it wasn’t beautiful.
A girl with soft brown hair ca jogging towards their direction, her beauty unbothered by the evening darkness,
and stopped infront of max with a smile which only childhood friends ever had.
’Was it finally over’ she asked to max brushing a lock of brown hair from her cheek.
Max grinned and looking more alive than he had, saying that.
"Yeah... today was hell of a day Ann".
Lucas watched the two of them, the way max’s eyes softened and annabelle’s smile lingered too long. He muttered to himself with a smirk "what a tsundere".
Neither off them even glanced at his direction during their special interaction event.
And in that mont cold truth pressed againt lucas head as he was the third wheel again.
Not that he disliked Anna, she was polite, kind and respectful even, not that he liked to the third-wheel or disrupt their mont, because he did only know Anna through casual aquantaince and not like they were friends to hang-out.
He shoved his hands in his pockets while trailing behind both of them.
Lucas sighed,
Yep definitely a third wheel, might as well get it tattoed on this bicep as well. Though he was lean but that dumbass did not have an inch of a shredded muscle in his body.
As the three of them walked through the brightly lit-lamps and shops with candle-scents comming out of them.
As they reached the end of the street lane, max stopped and turned to lucas,
"Hey co over to my place bro, mom has finally made sothing edible to eat tonight, even Anna is comming, my parents will also be glad if you ca over."
Lucas shook his head, his hands still in his pocket, "Nah! You guys enjoy, i’ll pass"
Max groaned as he tried to insist; saying that his mom has finally made sothing good that does not taste like sponge and cardboard.
Anna chid in, smilling softly, as she said
"Yeah lucas you should co, it would be fun to eat together."
Lucas gave a small nod,
"Thanks but really i am fine, you guys should enjoy".
"Fine, fine i will save so for you lucas so you wouldn’t starve tommorow begging for it", Max said with a smile plastered on his face.
Lucas only gave a short nod smiling faintly, and turned back to walk towards his ho.
The street was filled with lights and so people enjoying the cold evening,
Inside lucas head now, didn’t wear sarcasm or jokes to keep people entertained, though max knew his real side, a quiet boy who liked silence and books with playing and grinding hell lot of gas with reading so novels.
Lucas kept walking till he reached a tall apartnt and got inside the elevator thinking about the new ga which he had just installed from an apk.
The elevator stopped with a hiss~ and opened its doors, stepping on the 30th floor he rang the doorbell.
