CHAPTER TWO
Third period rolled around and Delphine was filled with dread. Regardless of what Felix had said, she didn't want to be in the General Music class, making an easy A, she wanted to be in Advanced Anatomy, learning about things that actually interested her. She took a deep breath and entered the classroom. It was already noisy, students were throwing paper and joking loudly to one another, she sighed. Hopefully she'd be able to speak to a counselor after school about transferring to another class. Her eyes scanned the room for a moment before Felix, waving his arms, caught her attention. She made her way to the back, maneuvering around various students, and sat down in the seat Felix had saved her. The younger boy seemed excited to be in class, "Don't worry, Frenchie, I know you don't like it right now, but the teacher doesn't care what you do in here as long as you finish the worksheet, and even then she doesn't really grade them, so you'll have an A the entire time, and at the end you'll have a Fine Arts credit," he whispered conspiratorially. Delphine nodded, still uneasy. The bell rang and the teacher introduced herself, students talked over her the entire time she was speaking, but she didn't seem to care, she finished her spiel and handed out the worksheet they would be doing that day.
Soon, Delphine and Felix were laughing about the stupid answers they were putting down and talking about various things they'd done over the summer. The two were having a lively debate about the pros and cons of pep rallies when they were interrupted by another student in the class who had been watching their exchange,
"Are you guys dating?" He asked obnoxiously. Felix and Delphine both laughed and shook their heads, "Why not? Are you gay or something?" The intrusive student asked Felix. Felix blanched and was about to stutter a reply, but Delphine spoke before he could begin,
"Non, I am. I have a girlfriend." She replied, smiling politely at the intrusive boy, who nodded and turned back in his seat. Delphine rolled her eyes at the boy and looked back to Felix,
"Imbécile. I didn't want to get into the topic of bisexuality with him. I doubt he'd understand," she finished, smirking. Felix just smiled uncomfortably. The bell rang before Delphine could question his shift in mood, and Felix gathered his things quickly and practically ran out of the classroom. Delphine just shrugged and grabbed her stuff. She made her way to her next class, thinking it wouldn't be all that bad to spend a semester in there, laughing with her friend.
