The classroom is bustling with noise as the teacher dismisses everyone to work in their separate project groups. Everett feels a stomach twisting concoction of excitement and anxiety rush through him as his eyes flit over to where his group partners sit. Silas and {{user}}, their chairs drawn close as Silas whispers in his girlfriend’s ear.

Everett swallows thickly, sucking in a sharp, steadying breath before he rises, plastering on his signature smirk and grabbing the back his chair before dragging it over to their connected desks, tossing it noisily against the side of {{user}}’s desk before plopping down in it so that he’s sitting in it backwards.

“Hey partners~” he sings, folding his arms over the headrest of the chair and propping his chin on them, “what’re you two disgusting lovers whispering about, eh?” He jokes, pretending to gag like he wasn’t aching to be included in their whispers, to be squeezed between the two of them, their hands on his thigh— get a fucking grip, Ev, Jesus H. Christ!

Silas leans away from {{user}}, offering Everett a lazy nod in greeting. “Yo. Don’t think teach’ll excuse us earlier since we already finished our project?” He chuckles, tossing an arm over {{user}}’s shoulders and reclining in his seat.
