Number 70: 67%
"Hey, asshole," Ling Tong said, glaring at Gan Ning's back, who had his head in the refrigerator.
"Ain't you supposed to be at school?"
"Don't you work?"
"Sometimes," Gan Ning said with a smirk, pulling out a coke and nudging the door shut. "Ditching class? That's damn lazy."
"Oh yeah, because you have a right to lecture me." He yanked open the door again, looking for something that sounded appeasing. Gan Ning leaned against the counter, he himself deciding if he wanted to make a sandwich. It really was a hard decision. "Is… What's Lu Xun's schedule?" Ling Tong finally asked, taking a coke of his own.
"Why? Not just a fag, but a stalker too?"
He glared at him. But he was asking for help, and Gan Ning was petty enough to decide not to help at the drop of a hat. "I think I might need his help. What's his major?" he asked hopefully.
"Think he's in for electronic engineer."
"And he's smart right?"
"Last time I checked," Gan Ning said with a shrug again. "Why? What class you failing?"
Ling Tong jumped, blushing a little. "Calculus," he said finally.
"You want to be engineer and you can't do math?"
"Can you?" Ling Tong countered.
"I was alright at math," Gan Ning said, crushing the can. "Science too usually. Not Biology though. Or much other courses."
"What moron can't do history?"
"I didn't want to. It was boring. Especially dates and names." Gan Ning pushed himself off the counter. If Lu Xun was coming over, he'd make a decent meal. Which solved his problem. "It wasn't fun. More often ditched history and English."
"But math?"
He shrugged, reaching for his cell phone. "It was real easy after science. Which made it fun, cause I didn't have to listen as much. I was able to harass the girls rather then work. And the teacher liked me because I usually knew what I was talking about." He dialed the number, and then said, "Hey Lu Xun! My room mate needs you."
"Does he now?" he said on the other line. "What part?"
"He's looting for brains."
"Lucky for you then."
"He's complaining about Calculus."
"Alright. Hold on for a second," Lu Xun said on the other line. Gan Ning sighed, and then glanced at Ling Tong.
"What're you pulling in the class?"
"Why?"
"Gotta know."
"I got a 67%." He scratched at his ponytail, glancing to the table.
"Then what you complaining for? On good semester I pulled a 70."
"College ain't like high school dipshit. I can only stay in if I keep a high GPA."
"Damn. No wonder baby-face studies," Gan Ning said with a frown.
"Hey? You there?" Lu Xun said on the other line.
"Yeah." Ling Tong glanced back at him, glaring. "You're gonna make me a meal while you're here."
"Yes. I know. My life would have been so much easier had I forgone perfecting my culinary skills."
"Probably. I'll unlock the door for you."
"I'll be over then." Gan Ning flipped his cell closed, glancing over at Ling Tong.
"What's your issue?"
"Didn't he want to know?"
"No. He didn't ask." Gan Ning walked out of the kitchen, leaving a seething Ling Tong, to go and unlock the front door and then find something on the TV to make fun of. Or enjoy, if there was something with explosions on.
I like this one because your getting a little bit more of Lu Xun. Who you've already seen isn't as innocent as he comes off (SSX episodes). Other than that, it also shows Ling Tong and Gan Ning sort of calming down. Not that they really like each other, but Gan Ning isn't as much of an asshole as he lets on, and isn't going to watch Ling Tong fail (beside, once Lu Xun got word he'd be none too pleased. And then Gan Ning might have to start making his own sandwiches on a regular basis.) Reviews always appreciated.
