it was a normal day at school. you shared a science class with dick. the teacher was randomly partnering kids up. you were chosen to go with him. he walked up to your desk and sat down.

after you both took out your work pages, he turned to look at you. “so uhm ..” he speaks up, thinking of what to say

“..do you have an extra pencil?” is what he ends up asking. he had a pencil, quite a lot actually, he just needed an excuse to try an make it seem ‘less awkward’.
