Education and being patient (Open)

[Philomena Snow]

As the bell rang, Mina packed up her belongings into her practically empty cloth backpack, only containing her phone, her books and her pencilcase. It wasn't like she needed anything else anyway. She flowed with the crowd to the next lesson of her's, which was Chemistry apparently. She walked with a blank expression covering her fact and a strong step in her walk. No-one got too close to her, she looked like a ticking time bomb.

A few minutes passed, and she reached the door of the classroom, where some of her classmates were lined up outside. She sighed grumpily and stood behind the last, who was chatting happily and loudly with her best friend, laughing about some stupid situation she'd gotten herself into, and 'Oh my, I was in such a pickle! It was the darndest thing, would you believe?' and so on. Mina scowled; she felt like the girl was lowering her IQ by the second. She sent a foul expression her way, and the girl gasped in anger, it seemed. The sight didn't make her smile, but it brightened her up a little. Some people.

The queue grew longer and longer. This morning was not going her way at all, and she was not pleased. Why were teachers late to lessons? They earn money by telling other people about stuff or how to do stuff. Surely, they'd want to be teaching as much as possible, so they earn as much money as possible.

With the increase in beings, there came an increase in noise pollution, and the occasional sound of a camera shutter from two idiots in the middle who thought that taking selfies in front of a science lab made them seem.more intelligent, but that obviously wasn't the case. No amount of memory space could replace the brains that they had seemed to have lost.

She leaned against the wall, arms crossed. She was already in a bad mood. Hopefully, no-one would decide to approach her. She just couldn't be bothered to deal with anyone at all.

Nao glanced over his class schedule.

……….Chemistry was next. But where was the chemistry lab?

Naozumi had barely been at the school for a day and already he was getting lost, being quickly bypassed by the throngs of students rushing to their next classes without so much as stopping to say hello to the new transfer student. He'd tried a couple of times to get the attentions of one or two of them, only to be ignored and left in the dust.

How rude.

Finally, he requested the assistance of a teacher, or at least someone who looked like a teacher, coming out of one of the classrooms, who pointed the reserved boy in the right direction.

Of course, after all that searching and time wasted, Nao was the last one there.

Or at least it seemed so, as he was still unsure if this was the correct place. Nao hung his mouth open in anticipation of breaking into some of these mile-a-minute conversations, but…..wow, it was almost like he was invisible. With a sigh, Naozumi crouched through the crowd of people which only seemed to stunt the short boy even more. His eyes finally laid upon a single dark-haired girl who was standing by herself and talking to no one.

Better her than nobody. Nao slowly strolled up to her and stared at her with a vacant look for a few moments before finally speaking in a soft voice. "Uh….this is the chemistry room, right?"

Mina delved into the gold mine of her mind and thoughts for company. She knew she also had art today, that was always fun. Half of the time, the teacher just stood there and said "Draw whatever you what!" smiling brightly the way you would to a bunch of third-graders. She began developing ideas ahead of time. She'd probably sketch the -wait, what was that guy doing?

A boy had materialized nearby, looking around awkwardly. She looked at him in an attempt to recognize his face, but nothing came to mind. Probably new. From the looks of things, possibly even a transfer. He was... kinda cute, she had to admit, but she defintely wasn't showing it. She continued to stare into the same spot on the wall until,

"Uh... this is the chemistry room, right?"

'Uh, this is the chemistry room, right?' Her mind echoed his words like a 7-year-old. Wasn't it bluntly obvious? There were people walking around in lab coats and he didn't know if it was a chemistry room or not. She was so tempted to have a minor go at him for fucking up her brain patterns, but part of her held her back. It wouldn't be fair anyway, he was new.

Even if he was a complete idiot.

In response, she nodded slowly and told him her thoughts through her facial expression, 'You're annoying and stupid, get out of my space before I have to get angry.' It made quite an interesting expression, slightly contorted in confusion, judgemental eyebrows and angry eyes. She had to use that again in the future.

Now at this point, any other person would've introduced themselves, held out a hand and welcomed the poor lid to Hammel, but she was still in a grouchy mood. The possibility of her even forming words to talk to a member of staff was pretty damn minor, let alone the airhead that just walked up to her.

[Deleted]

Slow. Airhead.

Nao had heard these kind of names before. And he was pretty sure he'd hear them again.

As he stared blankly up at the dark-haired girl, he had the feeling he might be hearing them from her……..despite that he stood his ground and kept looking up at her, hoping that she would at least answer his question.

But wow, she looked angry.

Maybe she was on her period?

Nao blinked and held up his class schedule.

[Philomena Snow]

Oh, great, yeah, just great. So not only was he was slow and useless, but he was also blind. Brilliant. She had clearly nodded at him, and he just stood their like a fucking garden gnome! Jesus Christ, what did it take for someone to take a message, and take a hint.

She waited a beat to see if he was just processing her actions, but he still stood there with concrete feet. She was about to burst with anger, this guy didn't know how ridiculously annoying he was. After a few more seconds of his stupid derping around, she just... ARGH she couldn't TAKE IT!

"YES, for GOD'S SAKE, are you that inattentive? I mean, you can see the scientific apparatus from here, it's so conspicuous! Connect your optical nerves and wake up, you sloth!" Hopefully, the idiot in front of her wasn't unintelligent and could actually understand what she had said, she wasn't in the mood to repeat anything.

It had gone pretty quiet, with the occasional cough echoing around the hallway. She had kind of shouted, and now most of the students around the pair looked at her in fear or in amusement of the situation. Her intent wasn't to gain the attention of those around her, but she just tried to ignore their gawping faces. She already had one goldfish to deal with.

Naozumi didn't even flinch when she finally spoke and hollered at him right there in the middle of the hallway. Her voice was strong and echoed such that it probably could have been heard at the other end of the school.

He turned his head to look at what she was talking about. Now that he thought about it, there were a lot of students dressed in lab coats. And she was right, there were some apparatuses set up over that-away. Though there still was nothing wrong with confirming things.

At least she had talked to him. That was a plus. Nobody else had even noticed him when he looked so obviously lost.

Nao turned back to the angry-looking girl and perked up his baby cheeks in a smile that was innocently appreciative. His eyes brightened and narrowed in glee. Small little white pearls peeked out from behind his protruding lips as they stretched across his face. "Thanks!"

With a little squeal of delight, he looked down and stuffed his schedule back into the pocket of his blue hoodie. He reshuffled the backpack on his shoulders and started following other students into the room he was now certain was the chemistry room(the teacher had just come to open the door). He turned to look back at the girl one more time, sent her another smile, then headed inside, taking a seat at one of the empty black-top tables.
