[IC] It's Good to be Bad (Somewittyname and vampiricchild)

[somewittyname]

Jenny, one of many of many girls who had a crush on Alex, called her friend and waited for an answer. She was going to ask him out again, for the third time this week. Brushing her golden blond hair, the young woman played with her hair as she stared at the floor "Come on... Alex pick up. And you better agree this time..." she whispered to herself as she waited.

The next morning at school Jason was at his lockers when he saw Alex. Instead of waving or saying a hello, the student just smiled warmly before grabbing his books and walking pass him. This was what Jason thought he should do. He wanted to remain unseen but wouldn't be rude well doing it. It wasn't until math class when Jason saw the other male again. Their teacher let everyone pick partners for the group quiz. Jason was actually getting a lot of request from different students, it was no secret how well Jason did in that class.

[vampiricchild]

Alex saw the call from Jenny, but ignored it. He didn't have the patience for her at the moment. He was beginning to get sick of her hitting on him. He wished she would take the hint. Of course, he had tried to tell her he wasn't interested, but she refused to take no for an answer.

He saw Jason in math class, and the teacher had told them to pick partners. He walked straight up to Jason and put his hand on his shoulder. 'Wanna be my partner?' He whispered in his ear. He made sure his voice was slightly alluring but so that it didn't look like he was trying to be. He waited for Jason's answer with a slightly pleading look on his face, making it look like he needed the help, but really just wanting to spend time with Jason. He wasn't doing too badly with math.

[somewittyname]

Jumping a little from the hand on his shoulder and the whisper right in his ear, the teen looked up and smiled "Um... sure." he said. A few of the kids backing away quickly well others watched. The teacher told everyone to push their desk together and that the quiz would be pass out soon enough. Jason turned his desk as to face Alex, his notebook already on his desk and opened to a page filled with doodles. Brushing his hair back the teen smiled warmly.

The teacher returned and handed everyone one piece of paper. Looking over the paper Jason nod "This seems simple enough, um should we both take a side?" he asked as he looked up to Alex. Closing his notebook he sat the paper ontop of it and looked it over "...Mmm, so how do we do this? I mean... I've never been in a group other than for projects..."

[vampiricchild]

Alex chuckled. 'How about we split the questions in half, and then we look over each others answers to make sure we agree?' He suggested. He wanted to sound intelligent, and decided that he'd have to work hard to do that. It seemed like a clever idea. He'd make sure to split it where he got the first half. The questions were quite similar in difficulty, but the first half looked slightly easier than the last half. He looked at Jason for approval to his idea before he started his work.

[somewittyname]

Jason nod as he grabbed his pen and began to work on the problem. Jason was a quick worker so with his ten questions he finished up quickly and they weren't too hard for the teen. Waiting for Alex to finish, the young man began to do doodles on his side, mostly of small figures that looked like they were fighting or running, they were pretty good. When the time came to check over each others work, Jason smiled "Nothing wrong on your end. How about mine?"

[vampiricchild]

Alex nodded. 'Well, first of all, the work is impeccable.' He smiled up at Jason. 'And secondly, the little drawings on the side are awesome.' He chuckled. He had took his time on the work so he made no errors, he couldn't let himself slip. He was trying to impress Jason, he wasn't entirely sure why it was needed, Jason was tutoring him, so he already knew he had trouble, academically, but he didn't want to seem too terrible at school. The drawings, however, he was not expecting. He wondered what else Jason drew.

[somewittyname]

Blushing slightly, Jason chuckled softly and rubbed his neck "Thank you. They're just doodles through, nothing really amazing." he said. Jason was impress with Alex's math skills, from what he understood this was an advance math class and Alex seemed to match his math skills. "Oh, Alex, I wanted to ask if it would be okay to go to the library for your next tutoring section. Its We'll be able to use the computers for the next thing i need to help you with."

[vampiricchild]

Alex smiled as Jason blushed. He would never admit the reason behind his smile though, he couldn't. When he mentioned about going to the library, Alex nodded. 'Yeah, sure. But I'd prefer it if you kept the tutoring talk to a minimum during school, I don't want everyone knowing I'm getting extra help.' He chuckled. 'I don't need the whole school knowing that I can't quite keep up with my English lessons.' He smiled slightly. 'Trust me, if one person hears, it'll pass through school in a couple of days.'

[somewittyname]

Frowning Jason nod quickly, he didn't want to get Alex into any trouble. Their teacher walked over and checked the paper before nodding and letting the two talk as the rest of the student kept working. Looking around Jason found himself getting more use to this class, he knew what to do and now was even dressing a little like the student. The first week he had been wearing his old school uniform, not he wore some nice jeans and a button up short sleeve shirt with "Jack Skellington" hoodie over it. Without the hoodie it would look like he was still in uniform.

[vampiricchild]

Alex was quickly thinking what to talk about when he noticed Jason's hoodie. 'I'm guessing you're a fan of Nightmare Before Christmas.' Alex said, smiling at him. It was one of his favourite movies, but he could never be sure why. Possibly because it was a kids movie directed by Tim Burton with music by Panic At The Disco. Alex found that amazing, if he was honest with himself.

[somewittyname]

"Huge fan actually... I love all his movies-maybe not the Batman ones-but I love his work." Jason smiled happily as he thought about all the movies. His whole room was in the style of Tim Burton, he even had a few posters of the movies hung up. Looking over to Alex the boy smiled "I'm kinda his fanboy."

[vampiricchild]

Alex chuckled. 'Good to know.' He made a mental note that Jason and him had some movies in common. 'He is a brilliant director, and Johnny Depp is an amazing actor.' Alex said. 'So is Helena Bonham Carter.' He added. He wondered whether Jason would mention if he found either one attractive, that would be a great test, not that it could make much of a difference...

[somewittyname]

"He is, and I always love seeing Johnny Depp in his movies, he is such a great actor." he smiled thinking about Johnny Depp. He really did love watching the actor, he wasn't too bad looking either. Brushing his hair back the teen looked down shyly thinking about Johnny Depp, he was also his fan boy. "Um... so you watch his movies too? Which one is your favorite if I may ask."

[vampiricchild]

Alex sighed. This was no use. He looked thoughtful as he thought about his favourite Tim Burton movie. 'Probably Nightmare Before Christmas, if I'm honest. But I also love Dark Shadows.' He smiled, remembering some of the funnier moments in the movie. He looked up at Jason. 'How about you?' He asked.

[somewittyname]

"Well... Of course Nightmare Before Christmas is first. Then for second it is a tie between Edward Scissorhands and Sleepy Hollow. Hehe.... I kinda love seeing Johnny Depp too." Jason admitted as his cheeks turned a bit red "...hehe...that wasn't weird to say..right?"

[vampiricchild]

Alex smirked. He had a feeling he knew precisely what Jason meant. 'Not at all.' Alex answered. 'It might be weird to some people, but I think I understand what you mean.' Alex told him, trying to convey his message across, without getting to far into what he was saying.

[somewittyname]

Smiling, Jason nod "Thats great to hear. Didn't want to be labeled as the weird kid again." he chuckled. The teacher started to collect all the quizzes and told the students to put their desk back where they were supposed to. Jason gave a warm smile before turning his desk forward and returning to his seat. The teacher called out the name who got a perfect score, which were Alex and Jason, and another pair of students. It seemed that next week that they could have this period as a free period well the other students had to have an review of the whole lesson again.

[vampiricchild]

Alex smiled as the bell went. He grabbed his bag and slung it over one shoulder. 'So, Jason. Any chance you fancy a Tim Burton movie marathon one night?' He asked, smiling hopefully at him. Alex couldn't help but be hopeful. He could socialise with Jason. Hell, he could socialise with anyone he wanted. If his friends questioned it, then they weren't really his friends. Of course, most of them weren't anyway. They were simply people along for the ride, people who craved popularity. He emanated it. But could quite possibly end quite soon.

[somewittyname]

Grabbing his messager bag, Jason looked up at Alex and a shy smile came to his lips. "Anytime, best way to get me anywhere is the promise of Tim Burton movies will be playing." the boy grinned. Jason was becoming comfortable with Alex a little and it clearly showed. Through still kept looking down now and again, hands still wrapped around the strap of his bag and eyes still a bit wide.

[vampiricchild]

Alex smiled. 'Awesome.' He chuckled. 'Any particular night your free?' He asked, getting ready to head out of the classroom. He could always cancel any plans he had. He could miss one night, one little disappearing act wouldn't hurt. He just couldn't make a habit of it if he wanted to keep up with all the up-to-date popular stuff. He needed to keep watching so that things didn't change without him knowing about it.
