Pairing: JayxLonnie ( Can be seen as romantic and platonic)

Requested by: DragonEmperor999

If you were to ask Jay what his least favourite class was, he would not hesitate when answering with History.

Jay felt the past was the past, if it happened a 100 years ago, why do you need to now it? And how was it really going to help him today?

Because as far as he was concerned, history wasn't going to save his life.

But for the moment, he was stuck with it. And had to put up with it and stupid homework and stupid assignments.

Speaking of stupid assignments, Jay had been up all night finishing one about the first kingdom to use something and someone's name theory, and how it worked and differs from today's something and someone's name.

And if he didn't get at least a B+, he was going to punch the teacher's lights out.

But when he got to the classroom, his peers were just standing along the walls, an the desks were definitely not how they were when he left yesterday.

At the front of the room, his history teacher was sitting at his desk, presumably doing a head count.

"Now that everyone is here, I can explain. A couple of my other classes are doing paired assignments, so I thought it would be easier to out the desks like this for all my classes. And I am the one assigning your seats." He added, when it looked like everyone was ready to jump up and nab the seat next to their friends.

Wonderful, none of my friends are even in this class Jay thought to himself, already knowing that this was not going to end well.

The teacher began listing off pairs, and by the time he got to the middle row, Jay had tuned him out.

"Starting the third row, Jay you will get the far seat." The teacher instructed and Jay trudgds over to the seat.

At least I get a window seat he mused.

"Next to you is, ah! Here we go. Lonnie, your next to Jay." He instructed.

Wonderful, now I am never going to be able to zone out in class ever again, he complained silently.

"Now, I'm behind on some grading, so I'm going to let you use this period to finish up your assignments, you can hand them in tomorrow. If your done with your assignments, talk quietly with the person next to you, might as well get to know them, your stuck with them for the rest of the year." The teacher explains before sitting down to get to work.

Jay was just about ready to chuck his stupid textbook at the teachers face. He stayed up all night, for nothing!

Instead he chose to stare out the window, and willed time to go faster so he could get out of here.

" Are you even listening!" he heard the girl next to him say, exasperated and angry.

"No not really, did I miss something? " Jay asked, turning to face the pretty girl.

" Yes, I asked you a zillion questions and all you did was stare out the window." She sighed.

" Well, Lonnie right, ask me anything and I'll answer." He responded.

"Okay, why were you staring out the window?" she asked.

"Because I hate history. Answer me this, why aren't you shunning me like everyone else in school?"

"Because I make my own choices about people, not what everyone tells me to think. Why do you care?" Lonnie answered, and brushed some hair off her shoulder.

"Because I was wondering. Contrary to popular belief, its not a crime." Jay sayid, and Lonnie laughed, and that made him smile.

"True. What kind of music do you like?" she questioned.

"Rap, RB and Hip Hop. That sort of thing. You?"

"Actually, the same. That kind of music is my life." Lonnie admited.

"Oh, cool. Favourite sport?"

"I love martial arts. And I'm going to take a wild guess and assume yours is Tourney?"

Jay laughed quietly. "Yep, you got me."

"You are really good at it." She complimented.

"Thanks, I'm guessing you can beat anyone's butt at martial arts?" he asked.

"I suppose, I haven't had a lot of people challenge me." She admitted, before continuing. "But you are really good at tourney; did they have it back on the isle?"

Jay tenses, trying to figure how to answer that. Lonnie noticed that immediately and retracted her question. "Sorry, I should have known that was a tough subject." She apologized.

"It's fine, really. But no, we didn't have Tourney. We had, different ways of training I guess." He replies.

"Oh… I think I understand. Do you want to talk about something else."

"That would be better." Jay agreed.

The two ended up talking the entirety of that period, only stopping when the bell rang.

"It's actually been really nice talking to you." Lonnie smiled as the two walked towards the door.

"It really has, can I see you again soon?" Jay asked her, as he held open the door.

"Totally. See you later!" Lonnie said as she walked away.

Jay had a feeling that he was going to start liking history class a whole lot more from now on.
