Theo was busy jolting down notes, his chicken scratch-like writing filling the lines; although, to be honest, he wasn’t paying any attention to the teacher or his lecture. The word he had written down weren’t even words – just a bunch of scribbles and loopy lines to put up an act. 

Suddenly, the sounds of hushed chatter broke the monotonous atmosphere and the lecture abruptly stopped. He looked up to see all the students turning in their seats and staring at him – or rather, someone next to him. Slowly, he followed their gazes…

Oh crap, is she really--? He gaped at the hunched figure of the transfer student. She was keeled over with an expression of pain being very prominent on her face. Was she really doing this!?

Honestly, he was just humoring her, thinking it was a joke or some idea brought about by boredom. He didn’t expect a person to really skip out on class on the day that had just transferred. But, was she really that bored? Did she take it as a challenge? Crap, if he had knew, he wouldn’t have gone along with it. 

Out of the corner of his eyes, the teacher was fumbling with the marker and looked panicked. Just as the teacher was about to regain his composure, Theo stood up and was by Julianna’s side within moments. He lightly bit his lips as his eyes flickered between Julianna and the adult, carefully watching their expressions while somewhat panicking on the inside. It was too late to back out now so might as well go along with it. Her acting wasn't all that bad either since a lot of the students were looking worried. If it weren't for the fact this situation had occurred right after she read his message, he would've believed it too. 

“Teach, I’ll take her to the nurse.” He offered, gently holding her shoulders as he tempted her up and guide her to the door. The teacher – who still looked unsure as what to do – snapped out of his thoughts, nodded quickly, and took a step away from the exit.
