Last period on a Friday is torture enough. But when last period on a Friday turns out to be Geometry, it's even worse. Bethany and Emily sat at the small cluster of four desks pushed together to table what could be interpreted as a table- in the back of the classroom, right in front of the teacher's desk. No one else joined the twins but that was all right with them.

As per usual, the two girls had finished their class work in a matter of minutes {it was NOT their first time in tenth grade, after all}- leaving them the rest of the period to do as they wanted. Which meant making intricate designs with the protractors and compasses they had been given for the daily class work. And, of course, they watched their charges at the next 'table' over, which was a cluster of six desks.

"This is stupid," Kaiden frowned. "What's the point? Why do we even need to know geometry? Do we need geometry in life?"

Rather than entertain the boy and give him the answer that he wanted, the two girls chorused, "Yes." Which caused him to roll his eyes as the teacher collected the girls' work.

"Kaiden, just shut up and do your work," Devon said quietly. He was sitting across from his brother, and he was facing the girls so he could see their annoyance. "It doesn't matter if you need it in life or not, okay? Just do the work."

Upon this comment, the teacher launched into an 'explanation', about how geometry was useful in life; since she had heard the boy's talking.

Once the teacher walked away, Kaiden grumbled, "Why does she only rant to us?" The 'us' to whom he was referring to meant the only boys in the class- Kaiden, Devon, and their friends. The six of them sat at the cluster of six desks in the back of the room. There was a small table to the right of them, behind Devon, where two popular girls sat, endlessly flirting with the boys. The two clusters, of four desks each, in front of the table were filled with other groups of popular friends who cared more about the daily gossip than the work they were supposed to be doing. There was another group of six desks, which was in front of the like set of desks behind it. The cluster of six desks that was at the front of the room- meaning to say that it was in front of the boys' table- had only five people there. They were all friends, but mainly kept to themselves. The teacher's other desk was at the front of the room, directly in front of that group of six desks- and in front of the whiteboard the teacher used so very often. (She would typically ask Emily or Bethany to erase the board. Emily didn't mind doing so because she like the teacher, and on top of that, she liked to be able to erase the board for the teacher so she could erase every single mark left by the markers that stained the board. It didn't bother the teacher, so she only roughly erased them, which bothered the demon girl.) The only other cluster of desks had four desks, in front of where Bethany and Emily sat. There were four people sitting at that group of desks, all of which gossiped all class, annoying Bethany and Emily to no end.

"Because she's sexist," Brian- one of the boys at the table, sitting next to Devon, Kaiden and Devon's friend- answered, as if it was painfully obvious, "Duh."

"Be nice," Emily mused, though mainly to herself and her sister, because no one could have heard.

"She favors girls to guys," Devon sighed, "So what?"

"I hear her favoritism extends out of the classroom," Jon whispered, trying to keep quiet though the teacher had left the room to go get the class' tests from the previous week, which were at her desk in the math teachers' office.

"Oh yeah, she's totally lesbian. I heard her say something about a wife," Paul continued.

"Oh, totally. It's obvious." Chris smirked. Jon sat next to Brian, though his desk faced towards the middle of the group of desks. Paul sat beside Kaiden, and Chris sat next to Jon, hi desk also facing towards the middle.

"Could you say that a bit nicer?" Bethany rolled her eyes. "Perhaps… 'Batting for the other team'? Geez."

The teacher returned to the classroom, and the gossip session ended. Out of the class of twenty-seven, only six of the students were boys- Kaiden, Devon, Chris, Brian, Paul, and Jon.

"If these two are already done, the rest of you should be done too!" The teacher pointed at Bethany and Emily as an example. Which, of course, didn't help the girls make any friends, but they weren't too concerned about making friends. They were more focused on helping Kaiden and Devon, so that the girls could eat their souls. Nothing much, but friends weren't a part of that whole plan.

Kaiden turned around in his seat to glare at his demon- Emily- and she smiled politely at him. He groaned and turned back around. Devon looked past his brother at the two demons and they waved at him for a second before returning to their designs, making Devon continue his class work.

Honestly, Bethany didn't understand why they all insisted on socializing before actually getting work done. There was a time and place, obviously. She stared at her design, fighting the urge to try and set it on fire. Since they'd been forced to go to school, she'd had to use her powers less and less. She was, after all, a witch, and fire was her faction. She still light candles, and small things like that, but nothing huge. She hadn't caused a forest fire in a long time. She was thinking about this when the bell rang. She packed her bag and Devon's with alarming speed, and the four of them left the room.

Emily and Bethany didn't see the point in Kaiden and Devon being all social-like between the last bell of the day and getting on the bus. If they missed the bus, they'd have to call their father to pick them up, and he didn't really appreciate that. It was when Kaiden and Devon were talking to their friends that the girls noticed the disgruntled boy approaching.

Though neither girl knew his name, they recognized him from several of their classes. More importantly, they knew him from their biology class. He was holding a test- the test from Biology that the class had taken a week earlier. The girls had passed with flying colours, but that was to be expected. Kaiden had studied in class with this boy for the test, though they mainly talked about which girls in the tenth grade they found attractive. Since it was the night before the test, that evening Bethany and Emily had forced the boys to study, resulting in the brothers getting nearly perfect scores. While this clearly-now-upset boy from their biology class had gotten nearly perfect incorrect answers, which is to say, he failed.

"Hey, Kaiden!" the boy called, and Kaiden turned. "I hear you got an A on the Bio test last week!"

"A minus," Kaiden corrected. "But yeah, why?"

"Well, you see, we studied together, so how did you get a better score than me?" the boy demanded.

"I studied at home. Really studied," Kaiden scoffed. "Sorry about your F, dude."

The boy growled, and then the boy's fist swung toward Kaiden. For a moment, it seemed Kaiden would take the hit. Suddenly, Emily was between them, catching the boy's fist in her hand and curling her fingers around his fist to trap his hand. In rage, he used his other hand- his non-dominant hand- to try and hit Emily, but she caught that fist too. She pushed his backwards a few feet, and he tried to hit her again. She blocked his attack with her forearm, and then pushed him backwards a few more feet via his forehead with her non-dominant hand.

Emily's eyes becoming red and demonic, she narrowed her eyes. "Is there a problem here?" She ignored the other students gathering to see how this petty-argument-turned-fight would end.

"Yeah, now there is!" He tried to lunge past her to hit Kaiden, but Emily kicked the back of his knee, causing him to cripple to the ground. Emily walked to face him, and looked down at him, smiling sweetly- her eyes now back to normal- slightly amused.

"I'll ask you one. More. Time. Is there a problem here?"

"No," the boy growled as an administrator approached them.

"You two, my office, now."

What the boy said next made Kaiden frown, but whatever Kaiden thought, he kept to himself. "Kaiden, the next time you do a shitty thing to a friend, face the consequences, and fight your own fights. Don't make your cousin- a girl- do it for you."
