And eventually lunch is over, and Theo has bio.

He does!

Theo walks into the biology classroom and sits at his table, getting out his notes.

And Sadde takes her seat beside him again.

"Hey. Planning on having another sleep?"

"No, bio's fun, and the teacher would slap me awake if I did anyway."

"... I feel like you might be speaking from experience."

"Yup!"

He frowns.

"Who was with you at lunch? I don't think we've been introduced."

"That was Willow! She's a sophomore."

"Oh, cool," he says, then starts paying attention to the teacher. He doesn't seem too engrossed, though, so he'll probably talk back to Sadde if she says anything.

"So I saw you taking to Josh. You gonna join the team?"

"Yeah – I'm gonna try out at practice tonight."

"Cool! You coming to the Bronze after?"

"Oh, I didn't realize people were going. Yeah, sure."

"It's really the only place to go."

"Yeah, but on a Tuesday?"

Shrug.

"Oookay."

And, if Sadde has nothing more to add: back to paying attention in Bio.

"I mean, not everyone goes every day, but if anyone's bored that's where they go, and the soccer team usually goes after practice, so."

"In that case, I probably would have turned up there anyway."

"Yeah but I was curious anyway."

Back to focusing on the lesson! Biology isn't actually that bad. Especially in comparison to English. Has it been mentioned that Theo hates English? 'Cause he does.

Sadde hates English class! She likes reading. And bio is pretty fun actually. She doesn't bother Theo again in class.

The English language is okay, especially if you get down to the technical details and etymology and stuff, and Theo likes reading, but talking about how the casually-mentioned red curtains foreshadow a brutal murder later in a book... That's usually ridiculous.

Eventually Bio ends. "What do you have next?" he asks Sadde.

"History! You?"
