Chapter 9: Math Class

The first-morning class was finally over Alex got up from his seat grabbing his bag he hauled it behind his back waiting on Oliver and Jake. Alex didn't really keep up any conversations with Oliver but he seemed like a pretty okay guy to be around plus he somehow ended up being friends with Jake.

As they walked down the hallway to their next class Alex realize that he hasn't asked Jake if he can have Noah and Luca at the house over the weekend "Jake I have a group project to do with Noah and this guy name Luca is it cool with you if I have them over by the house this weekend?"

"Yeah sure but Oliver is coming over to chill his parents are going out of town and he's scared to be home by himself"

"That's a lie" Oliver rolled his eyes at Jake's poor attempt to make fun of him

"You're okay with having Noah at your place. I thought you didn't like him" Oliver asked.

"I don't like him but that doesn't mean I'm going to let Alex fail his project just because he has to work with Noah, he's coming over to do a project it's not like we're going to paint our nail and diss each throughout the whole thing, I'm more mature than that" Jake reprimanded hi.

 It's true even though more than half of the school population is either scared of him or just doesn't want to talk to him, he's a lot more mature than people think.

Jake isn't the type of guy you'll hear about on the daily basis of drama at the school like some of the other guys who got their ex pregnant, caught STD\Aids or got expelled for fighting.

Oliver thought about it and nodded his head along with what Jake was saying but then thought about what happened back in class when Jake saw Ms. Katherine he just had this blank stare in his eyes not even listening to anyone.

" Hey, Alex what class do you have next?" Oliver asked him, leaning over to take a look at Alex's class schedule " Maths with Mr. Thomas huh?"

They turned left before going up a flight of stairs, Oliver glanced over at Jake who was on his phone text secretly hoping he bumps into something while walking just thinking about it happens to cause a happy smile to spread across his face" You know a lot of are scared of Jake what's up with that?".

Jake looked at the other two before replying to Oliver " You need to stop worrying about things that don't involve you plus I'm not the one people should be scared of" his eyes swiftly flickered towards Alex's own " There are far more dangerous people than me".

Oliver snorted throwing his arms around Jake as they reached their class" Don't make it sound like you're in the Mafia, we are in college, an expensive one at that you think just let anyone In?".

They said bye to Alex before walking on their class, he turned and walked into his classroom sitting beside a window gazing at the scenery outside as the wind blows the trees slowly swayed with it the trees in the college have different color leaves from orange, pink green and yellow the place was quiet and peaceful almost like something taken out fairy tale book it was a breathtaking view.

The sounds of someone calling him to draw back his attention from the beautiful scenery to the classroom.

Noah is sitting in the seat beside him "Coach is going to be in a meeting today, he said the practice is still going to happen and make sure you there".

" Is that all?" Alex questions him, his voice makes it clear he's bored.

"Umm, yeah that all" Noah understands that he doesn't have the best reputation at the school but that's he doesn't know how to probably express his emotions to others, that's why he doesn't have many friends in the school seen it all.

"Alright everyone let's settle down, Gareth takes that gum out of your mouth and Darren take your foot off the desk, student please conduct like young adults" The teacher got up from his desk after finishing organizing the papers on his desk a smile on his face as he watches the student got ready for class to be.

"I know that you guys have homework from other classes, since it's just the first day we'll just talk and get to know each other I'm already seeing some new faces".

He looked to be around his late 20's " I'm your maths teacher Mr. Thomas the class is very easy so don't be intimidated by the questions or homework if you are still struggling you can come to me for help I don't mind going over something so ask ways while in class"

" Don't be fooled by his looks, this man has zero patients with anyone" one student shouted gaping nervously.

The professor gave off a youthful laugh at this " Please don't mind Gareth, he is the only student I have no patience for as he is the biggest scoundrel in the whole math department" he explained while waving his off what Gareth said.
