The yellow to my blue
Smiling in math class
Previous ChapterNext ChapterButterscotch got up from the wall and straightened himself out.
"That was a thing... That... Um... That happened..." He mumbled to himself. He walked from the wall and back to the orchard that encased the path.
It really was a beautiful walk through there. The apple tree's branches outstretched over the dirt track like a shelter made out of interlocking arms of the trees. The apples gave off a sweet smell and Butterscotch picked one that looked particularly juicy. As he bit into it an explosion of sugary juice and delicious chunks of apple rushed in his mouth, making him hum in pleasure.
A little way off a boy with blonde hair wearing an orange plaid shirt was tending to a tree, and the tree next to it was being looked after by a girl a little older than him with ginger hair and a red shirt tied up to show her stomach.
"It must be really hard working in this heat..." Scotch thought to himself as he looked up at the merciless sun beaming down on them.
The boy in the plaid shirt gave Scotch a wave and he waved back. The boy pointed at the half eaten apple and Scotch gave him a thumbs up. It was delicious.
Finally Scotch got back to school. His high school was a big brick building with a small building made out of glass at one end, and big windows placed at each classroom.
Scotch could see his friend Bubble Berry in maths. He was drumming his pen extremely quickly on the desk and swinging his legs back and forth. Berry turned his head to look out of the window and saw Scotch. Berry gave Scotch an enthusiastic grin and mimicked a giant yawn. In return the teacher pointed an accusing finger at Berry.
Scotch hurriedly walked towards the main entrance so the teacher couldn't see him.
After climbing a few sets of stairs , which to tell you the truth was more of a work out than doing ariel P.E, Scotch reached the maths room on the top floor and waited for Berry's class to end.
Soon enough it did, and out came Berry with a skip and a jump. He waved cheerily at the teacher who was scowling back at him.
"How was math?" Scotch asked.
"Good! But I did get a detention!" He replied cheerily.
"Wait, what?"
"Yep-sy-doo-daa! That silly teacher!" Berry said lightheartedly.
Scotch didn't understand how Berry could make anything sound like it was the best thing in the world, or just a minor detail. It was a talent, just like how Elusive could make anything sound dramatic. Speaking of Elusive...
"Hey, what class was Elusive in?" Scotch asked.
"Oh, umm, I don't know!" Berry said innocently.
"I'm right here you bafoon!" Elusive said from behind them, sporting a fashionable waste coat and white shirt.
Scotch looked from Elusive's top of the line, men's designer outfit, to Berry's brightly coloured pink t-shirt and blue jeans, and back to his calm yellow hoodie. Their clothes represented their personalities really, Elusive being sophisticated and cultured, Berry being confident and friendly, and Scotch being... Well shy. How they all stayed friends for so long he would never know.
Elusive, Berry, Scotch and their other friend Dusk Shine had all been best friends ever since they all started high school in year 7. They all knew each other's tendencies and habits, and so could get on quite well with each other.
"I have been sitting across from you during the whole lesson, how could you miss me?" Elusive asked in a offended matter.
"I was smiling at Butterscotch" Berry said defensively, twiddling his thumbs.
Elusive glared at Bubble Berry for a few seconds before addressing Butterscotch.
"Dusk's in Canterlot again, I don't see why." Elusive said begrudgingly as he checked his fingernails for the fifth time. Butterscotch raised an eyebrow at him.
"He has to study wi-"
"Well, yes, obviously I know that he has to study with Princd Solaris, but why so much? He's our friend too, and we hardly get to see him anymore!" Elusive whined.
"He'll be back next week." Scotch said reassuringly, patting him on the back.
"Oh this has turned out to be the worst day ever! First I accidentally eat a non-fat free yoguht this morning, next I run into that reckless 'DJ', Record Scratch, who insisted I listen to some of his garish music, then I get completely ignored by one of my best friends in math class, and finally Dusk isn't even here!" Elusive listed the things one by one, his voice getting more and more dramatic with each one.
Bubble berry smiled sympathetically.
"Elusive, you kind o-"
"I understand, it must be hard for you!" Berry said in a empathetic tone.
"Uh-hu" Elusive pouted.
"I mean, a guy like you deserves way better, right?" Berry flattered.
"Well, yes..." Elusive's pout grew bigger.
"But surely since you're such a mature guy, you can move on!" Berry suggested.
Elusive stared thoughtfully at the ground for a few seconds before saying
"Yes, you're right!"
Elusive turned to Scotch.
"Me and Mr. Unobservant over here" He gestured to Berry.
"Will be in the music room, we'll wait for you to get your lunch, ok?"
"Yeah, sure..." Scotch said, nodding.
"Ok, great, c'mon you idiot..." Elusive rolled his eyes as he set of towards the music room, Berry bouncing after him.
