DIsclaimer: I do not own the show Bones and I do not own the character Zach Addy
It was five years, 13 days and 3 hours ago that this had occurred but for some odd reason Zack Addy could still not figure it
The whole class, all 83 of them, seemed to be falling asleep. Zachary could not understand why such a thing would be happening. Why was no one interested in this immensely intriguing slide show of the bones of an elderly woman? The students were all 100 alive (though this was just a hypothesis because it appeared to him that each every one of them was breathing) in a biology course yet they all seemed like slowly decaying organisms. Biology was one of Zachary's favorite courses besides mathematics and engineering. Zachary had already got in to his arm strengthening exercises, question, hand up, question, hand up, question, hand up etc… It seemed to him like today was a very good day for him to answer questions. He could not tell what the teacher was thinking but he saw a slight expression of annoyance. Zachary was completely lost at why that emotion should be there. What could possibly be annoying him? Zachary was answering all the questions, there should be no problem with this; at least this is what he thought.
"Dring, Dring" The class begins to shuffle out of the class. They all appear as though they have just won the lottery. Zachary begins to pick up his books but suddenly hears his name. It is coming from the left side of the classroom where Professor Hopkins is seated. Zachary begins to make his way through the quickly dispersing students.
"Zach, I have just finished marking your paper on mitosis and I must say that it was exceptionally well written, though I asked for only one page and yours came in at 15." Zachary corrected the professor in his head that there were actually only 14 pages.
"Unfortunately, I've been forced to give you a 65 because you have not followed the instructions as specified on page 1."
He could not believe this, a 65 percent, he had never gotten lower than an 89. He had lost marks because he wrote to many pages?
"The instructions were that you had to work with at least one other member of this class. I'm willing to give you one last chance because you really did have an eccentric and meaningful essay. Choose whoever you please, it is due in 4 days time."
Zachary acknowledged that he was dismissed and he left. He had no idea who he would work with, the project had not actually been due until the Friday but he had felt obliged to hand his in as soon as it was finished, the day after it had been assigned. This meant that there were still classmates that had not begun theirs but they all seemed to have partners.
Zachary had never assimilated very well at least this is what his shrink had told him. His parents had sent him to private school in a hope that he would encounter more people like him unfortunately no such thing has procured from this little idea. His Intelligence Quota was 185 what did he need others for? The sum of the IQ's of the two students who sat in front of him (no one sat beside him) was equal to less than his. He still could not tell for the life of him why he could not just skip the four years of high school.
Getting back to the problem of partners he had to find someone that he was compatible with. He could not ask any one who already had a partner because it would make him seem like an idiot which of course, he was not. He had to ask some one who had no friends. This left Jimmy, Claire, Cassie and Jon. Jimmy had a sneezing problem and an IQ of 80. He had only gotten into this school because his parents were rich. Claire was the bully of the class and she was always calling him a twit. Unfortunately, she was also fairly intelligent, around 140. Jon had A.D.D. so he was out of the question. The last one was Cassie. Cassie was nice but she did not belong in the group of no partners. She got stuck there because there was an odd number of people in the class. This meant that someone from her group of friends had to be paired with the misfits, including him. The biggest problem with her is that Zachary had a crush on her.
