Peter watch the front of the class with a blank stare, deciding there was no point in writing notes when he knew all this already. In his research for the formula he had been working on he had looked up the very elements and materials that Mr. Warren was speaking about now. Who knew a personal project would make one days science class a fair bit easier?
Eventually the brunette's eyes did wonder as he had no interest in hearing things he'd already read about in much greater detail. Inevitably they landed on Wade who apparently also did not find today's class of much interest because his head was down on his desk. His arms where crossover on top of the worm out furniture and his forehead laid atop his hands. The hood of his sweater covered his entire head completely, giving the illusion that someone had abandon a blanket in a classroom, or at least that's what it kind of looks like if you only took quick glance.
Peter was thankful that Wade had ceased his note passing and bugging of the brunette but sleeping through the class wasn't exactly a good alternative. Peter considered waking the older up but before he could make a decision someone else made it for him.
"Wilson!" Mr. Warren called suddenly, just loud enough to pull Wade out of his near sleeping state into one of a bit more consciousness.
"Whaaaaaat?" Wade whined back, as if the teacher shouldn't be bothering him.
"Care to join us here in class?"
"Not really, no." Peter bit his bottom lip and slowly raised his hand to his mouth in a manner that seemed like he was in the thought but was really a tool to hide a grin. Gosh, how could Wade be so funny in moments he really shouldn't be.
"Well I'm sorry but you have to or else your not going to learn all this for the test this Friday."
"But I know all this already." Peter could describe Mr. Warren's expression as disbelief on the level of almost insulting and Peter could see where he was coming from. Wade wasn't exactly a model student, more of an as-long-as-I-pass kind of guy. Not to mention he'd just been snoozing in class.
"Is that so?" Warren asked, brow raised in a 'prove me wrong' way. "Well then, can you tell me what the two compounds we have been discussing do and what they would potentially do if combined?"
"Then I can go back to sleep?" Wade asked with as much confidence as a guy being woken up in the middle of the night just to be asked what 1+1 equalled.
"If you answer correctly, then why not." Mr. Warren said, arms held out in a cocky motion.
"Alright then." Wade sat up a little straighter and began his speech, the whole class's expressions growing into one's of amazement as he spoke. Peter watched intently, amazed by what he heard. However, he wasn't sure if he should be more amazing or just plain pleased when he noticed that everything his friend said was abbreviations of what Peter had taught him a few nights back. Sometimes even speaking word for word what Peter had explain to him while showing off his formula plans.
Part of Peter wanted to puff his chest out like a proud parent but instead he was flustered by the fact that Wade had truly been paying attention and learning from him. He thought back to all the times Harry's eyes glazed over when the brunette spoke about his personal projects then of Wade's genuine intrigue on the subject.
Maybe Peter wasn't just a bookworm motormouth like he had been called before. Maybe it wasn't him who was the problem, he just needed a student who cared.
"And that's what would happen if you we're stupid enough to combine them in a cold place rather than a hot place like they should be. Am I right?" Wade asked the teacher who's mouth was agape, to in shock to answer so instead he turned to the brunette. "I'm right, right?"
"Right." Peter replied with a little nod and bright smile.
"Sweet. Now if you'll excuse me, a deal is a deal." Wade repositioned his hood atop his head and begin to lower his upper body back to the position it previously was at. Mr. Warren didn't protest, though it was obvious he wanted to. He simply continued on with the lesson with a scowl and an occasional mumble under his breath.
This idea was given to me by Higurashirose from The Archive of Our Own. It's not very big but I thought it was a cute idea so I wrote it up real quick. It was a bit hard working around the fact that I don't science but I think it came out okay.
Hope you enjoyed, especially you Higurashirose! Next chapter will be up ether today or tomorrow sins this is a little baby chapter. See you all then.
