I was running at full force when Xigbar stopped suddenly, and for the fact that my hand was holding tightly to his arm, I lurched back and almost fell but caught myself before I could. “Why did you stop?” I asked breathing heavily as I placed my hands on my knees. “Well I was wondering and…what do you say we just skip this class?” he asked slouching his shoulders.

The first thing that popped into my head was ‘Is this guy serious?’ I mean this was his first day and he already wanted to ditch class. I waited till I had caught my breath before narrowing my eyes to him and saying “I thought you said you didn’t want to get in trouble on the first day”. he looked at me as if I was being sarcastic “awww come on kid its just Home Ec. Its not like were gonna use that stuff in real life”.

I couldn’t help but role my eyes at him as I stood up straight. “Well actually that is the whole point of the class” I said nonchalantly. He looked at me for a moment and I could feel his eyes scanning over me as he placed his hand on my shoulder. I looked up at him and clutched the strap of my guitar case which hung loosely across my chest and down to my naval. “Listen kid either you wanna do it or you don’t I’m not gonna force you to do something that you don’t want to do”.

I let out a breath and turned my attention to a building in front of me. I slouched my shoulders yet kept my grip on the book bag which from my left shoulder. “Okay…I guess it couldn’t hurt to miss this one class” I sighed giving in. “Cool were is the best place to hide so we wont get caught?”

I thought for moment as I looked over the possibilities places. I tried to rule out all the obvious places, but the same thing get coming to mind. “Uh….well there is the boys restroom…I mean its not the best place but eh its better then nothing” I said shrugging my shoulders. Their was hesitation in his reply and I waited for the answer. “Sounds reasonable to me lets go”. I watched as he lifted his hand off my shoulder and started walking.

I felt myself smile and I ran little to catch up to him. As I stood beside him he turned to me and ruffled my hair and a wide smile grew across his face. I immediately frowned and ran my through my Mohawk and down to my mullet as I started to walk faster leaving him a few feet behind me.
