Chapter #8Meeting Jaden by: GS96   Right as the gates came into view, they noticed someone in front of the entrance. Once they got closer, they found out it was Jaden with a somewhat miserable expression on his face. Once they got closer, Syrus saluted him.
"Hey Jay!"
"Oh, hey guys! Are you coming for the course too."
"Yeah. We didn't want ya to be alone in this mess as Chazz and Blair are not coming."
"Thanks. But it's not like it will be that much of a hassle. I'll just snooze my way through the lessons. I'll just have to pretend to be awake once we get to Crowler's lesson.", said Jaden with a carefree smile.
Normally, the guys would gave an awkward laugh at this, would sigh or would try to convince Jaden to at least be awake during classes. But new thoughts went into their heads as new opinions were forming regarding their friend's behavior.
While processing the new thoughts, their pants got tighter on them, which made their legs a bit more visible, especially in Hasselberry's case. His hairless skin also began to lighten a little bit from its deep tan while Syrus did the reverse and became slightly more tanned. Jaden thought something was off, but before he could ask what was wrong, Syrus told him:
"Geez Jaden, you could try to pay attention. As boring as it could be, if you can get onto the teacher's good side, it would benefit you a lot."
"Why? As long as I pass the practical exam with flying colors, for the written exam, I will just score enough points for a D."
"You do realize we won't help you with the test right?"
"Why not? I am sure there is a way to peek-"
"Sorry Jay. But Hasselberry is right. We don't want to get in trouble. No offense, but... I think the reason why the teachers give you such a hard time besides sleeping in class is because you are a Slifer. You could try and study so that you could get in another dorm. You know that the teachers put less pressure on the guys from the yellow and blue dorms."
"Yeah. I mean, if Chazz managed to do great before he got in Slifer, I am sure you can do better as well. Ya aren't dumb, but you are kind of lazy. I think it's high time for you to begin studying."
Jaden was literally shocked. He knew his friends wouldn't always help him on a whim if that would put them in trouble. But never before he thought they would try and lecture him to be more studious.
"In any case, let's just head to class for the moment.", said Syrus as the three went inside, with Jaden still thinking about what was going on.
As they walked, the shoes continued changing, without Jaden or the two noticing. Syrus's shoes got a bit longer as they began to cover his ankles while both his and Hasselberry's lost their usual method to close them, as both gained a side zipper.
"Man, what is with them today? Don't they know how boring some of these lessons could be? I even saw them sleep in class before. I wonder if something happened... And was it just me or did Syrus seem a little taller? And I swear Hasselberry doesn't wear pants like those... Anyway, if they are upset or something I'll just ask them later. Right now, they seem a bit out of it."  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
