"Welcome to Satire and Comedy, class." Announced their new teacher, "I'm Mrs. Moriss. Now who can tell me what Satire is?"
It was first period and Sydney and Will were in their class. Mrs. Moriss looked over her class enthusiastically.
"Anyone? Anyone? No one?" She sighed exasperatedly. She pointed to someone behind Sydney and said, "You there. Go to the dictionaries in the back and look Satire up please."
About five minutes later a deep voice spoke up. "Uh... it says here a literary work holding up human vices and follies to ridicule or scorn."
"Thank you,' Mrs. Moriss said, "and what is your name young man?"
"Um.... Michael Vaughn."
"Thank you Mr. Vaughn. Now let's turn to the board shall we?"
Will leaned over and whispered, "Hey Syd my pencil fell behind you can you get it?"
"Will." Sighed Sydney impatiently. He always had a bad habit of dropping his stuff in class. She turned around to find herself face to face with green eyes and a smile.
"Here," he replied holding out the pencil, "I think your friend dropped this"
"Thanks." Replied Sydney taking the pencil smiling slightly. She turned around and shook her head slightly.
"Hey Syd," whispered Will while the teacher's back was turned, "if you're done flirting can I have my pencil?"
Sydney glared at him/
"Sure," She said sweetly, ""Here."
She promptly chucked his pencil out the door. Will's mouth dropped open.
"Mr. Tippin," called out the teacher, "please close your mouth."
The class laughed loudly as the bell rang.
"That was my favorite pencil Syd!" Will exclaimed loudly.
"Then I suggest holding on to it." She replied.
"Dude," Will said to the guy who handed Sydney Will's pencil, "IN case that happens again just throw it to me."
The guy just looked at him and laughed. "Sure thing man."
"Ok then, Will replied, "by the way I'm Will Tippin, This is my friend the pencil chucker."
"You might want to try Sydney. It's easier to remember." Sydney replied as they walked down the hall.
"I'm Michael Vaughn, "he replied, "This is my friend Eric Weiss." He pointed to a guy who just walked over to them.
"Hi," he said, "So, did you guys come from Central?"
"Yeah, replied Sydney, "You?"
"Carlton." Responded Michael.
"Well, we'll be seeing each other." Sydney replied turning to them.
"Yeah." Michael replied looking at Sydney. She smiled and pulled Will down the hall.
When they were out of earshot Weiss turned to his friend and started to grin stupidly.
"What?"
"Man, Vaughn you've got it baaaad!"
"What!" exclaimed Vaughn.
"Who's got it bad?" Marshall Flinkman replied as him and his sister, Taylor, walked up to their best friends.
"Vaughn's got a thing for a girl is his S&C class."
"How can you tell?" Taylor asked interestedly.
"Well, for one he couldn't take his eyes off of her. And two he's getting extremely defensive. Look at him."
The three friends look at Vaughn closely.
"Ok," replied Vaughn wearily, "you guys are crazy. I gotta go."
As he left he heard Weiss whistle as Taylor yelled at the top of her lungs, "STAND BACK GIRLS! THIS ONE'S TAKEN!"
Vaughn laughed at his friends, however, deep down he knew he was waiting for his next meeting with Sydney.
"Hey Syd!" yelled Francie as she ran up to Sydney and Will.
"Hey Fran." Syd replied.
"Who was that cute guy I saw you talking to back there?"
"What? You mean Michael Vaughn." Sydney asked stopping.
"Yeah."
"Man Fran, you should have seen Syd," Will laughed, "I've never seen her smile so much when talking to a guy. That wasn't me or Matt!"
"I have no idea what you guys are talking about." Sydney replied defensively.
"Oh gosh,:" Francie groaned, "She's got it bad."
"Ok what are you guys on? I gotta go find it and flush it down the toilet." Sydney said impatiently.
"Knowledge, Sydney. I have had plenty of guy experience to know when two people like each other." Francie responded wisely.
"Seriously, I don't want to get involved." Sydney replied raising her voice.
Will and Francie's silly smile slipped off their faces. Francie started to open her mouth, but Sydney just put a hand up to stop her and turned down the hall and started walking.
Francie turned to Will. "I had hoped she wouldn't...Danny's gone Will. He's not even in the same state. Why can't she move on?"
Will just sighed and shrugged.
