Hey everyone! I decided to update early because I love you all (: I got a lot of response for the last chapter, and I could not be more grateful! So keep it coming! So I know I write a lot of these when Josh and Aiden are teens, but for some reason that's my favorite way to write about them, I don't know it just flows. But I'll try to vary it more! I'm also working on a couple of your suggestions so I'll have those up soon. I also noticed a lot of you want an ICCA one, so I'll definitely do that. That's all for now, so enjoy!
I don't own Pitch Perfect; if I did Skylar would be smack dab in the center of all the promotional posters.
Episode 7: We We Do During Chemistry Tests
Josh tapped his pencil against his desk repeatedly, trying to focus as his chemistry teacher passed out their tests. He had not studied. He was a fail. On the other side of the spectrum, his ingenious brother Aiden, was more then ready for the exam.
Being in the same class with his brother sucked. One: Josh had to admit to people that they were related. Sure they looked alike and had the same last name, but did that really mean he had to admit it? Two: Aiden was super smart. He would bring home A's, where as Josh was content with a solid C plus. As long as his grades kept him in choir and various sports, he was happy. Plus, it was kind of embarrassing that he, a junior, was in the same class as his brother, a sophomore. It was basically pointing out the fact that he was dumb.
What was most annoying was when their teacher would make comments like, "why can't you be more like your brother, Joshua?" and "he got an A why can't you?" Because he's not as fucking smart as his brother is. Deal with it.
He looked down at his test and inadvertently sighed. Here we go.
Thirty minutes later he had twenty stupid answers written down. He was pretty sure the only one he got right was his name. Josh Swanson. That's it... Right?
And that was when it hit him. He was Josh Swanson. There were only two solutions to any of his various (and fairly rare) problems. One: sing about it. Or two: ask his hot girlfriend who conveniently happened to be smart what to do. Well, he obviously couldn't sing about it, (he totally would, but his teacher might banish him from the classroom) so instead he whipped out his phone. He had ten minutes left in the period. Might as well put it to good use!

Hey babe. I love you, and you're super smart. So I was wondering... If the volume in a carbonic gas is decreasing, what will the relative pressure do? And no, I'm not taking a chemistry test. I was just...wondering...
He sat quietly, fidgeting with the hem of his jacket until his phone buzzed seconds later.
To: Me
From: Rachael Camp (My Choir Girl)
Hey shortstop. I know we've been dating for a whole year and that's like a record for you, but I'm not giving in to your useless flattery. Also: studying is a virtue.
He snorted and put his head is his hands. Oh well, better move on to other options.

Hey auntie! Just curious if you knew anything about gas laws...as in chemistry... It would be really helpful and make this nephew very happy if you did! Plus you owe me. I saved your butt from your husband's wrath!
Almost immediately, his phone vibrated and he quickly whipped it out, noticing that four minutes had gone by and he only had six left.

Hello darling! Haha you're hilarious. And no, I don't know anything about that stuff. The only thing I could educate you on would be hitting perfect pitch and the disease of nodes. But I think you already know how to do the former. As for the latter, I doubt you care. Good luck on your test! P.S. I don't owe you anymore. I gave you that necklace your girlfriend wanted last week. P.P.S. I would look the info up online...but that would be known as cheating.
Josh placed his phone on his knee and crossed his arms angrily. He only had three minutes left and he wanted to get at least one question right. And then it came to him. Aiden! He finished the test within the first ten minutes of class! Now he was just over there playing educational games on his phone...
To: Broham
From: Me
What's the answer to number nine? You know, the carbonic pressure one! TELL ME AND I'LL DO YOUR CHORES FOR A WEEK. HELP A BRO OUT.
Josh slowly turned his head to look at Aiden who glanced over the text. He raised his head and Josh mouthed the word "please". Aiden raised an eyebrow, and then shot Josh his infamous sucks-to-suck look. Josh frowned and flashed him the bird, causing Aiden to smirk and then go back to playing his game. Josh huffed indignantly and turned around to find his teacher looking straight at him.
"Is there a problem, Mr. Swanson?"
"Nope, just trying to remember my notes!" Josh tried for the Swanson charm, but it apparently didn't work because Mrs. Craddock just rolled her eyes and walked back to her desk. After she reimbursed herself in her book, Josh looked back down at the final problem. Well, let's see. The volume is decreasing... Josh decided to pick A, that the pressure will increase. Because if he fails this test, (which the probability that he will is very high) the pressure to not fail high school chemistry will be very, very high.
Thanks for reading! I actually wrote this in Chemistry, after a test. I finished early, and had a half an hour to myself, and thus this was born!
Question:
Which kid would you like to see more of?
Review and keep being awesome(:
