Angel tensed as Seth was interupted by a teacher. "Go do what in a hole, exactly?"
"Ugh... why me?" asked Seth, letting his head drop to the desk with a loud thump. Angel gave him a sympathetic look, and she turned to the teacher.
"He wasn't implying to a teacher here. He's been enrolled into some sort of tuition school, and one of those teachers has been giving him a roungh time. He doesn't acually mean what he's saying" Angel said, the lie rolling smoothly and easily out of her mouth. She gave the teacher a reassuring smile, and Sylis raised an eyebrow. "He's just been having a really bad week."
The teachers expression softened, and he nodded. "Okay, but be careful about what you say Seth... you could've gotten into some serious trouble for something like that."
"Yeah, I know" Seth said, and Angel elbowed him. "Ow! Thanks."
The teacher tsked a few times before turning and walking away, and Seth lifted his head. Sylis propped his chin on his palm, and started sketching something on his notepad, humming a fast tune. Angel smiled softly, Sylis wasn't too bad of a hummer, he had her wanting to bob her head to the rythm of the song.
"Seth! Why didn't you stay at last nights' party?" asked an overly sweet voice, as a cheerleader sat on Seths' desk. Angel rolled her eyes, and resisted the urge to tell the girl to get a life.
"Alcohol was getting busted out, and I can't be part of that sort of thing. I'm supposed to be a good example for others, and Principle Jeffenhower would give me infinite attention if I got busted for that. Not to mention he'd take me off the team." Seth explained, with a long, exagerated sigh. "My life sucks"
"Aw... poor thing. Are you going to the party after the game?" asked the girl, tossing her hair.
"Yeah, otherwise the team isn't going. What about you Angel?" asked Seth.
"Angel? Don't you have a-"
"It's my name, smart one. And yeah, I'll be there. I'm taking Sylis with me" Angel smiled sweetly at the girl.
"Sylis?" asked the girl and Seth at the same time.
"My friend here, to my right?" Angel pointed sideways at Sylis, who was still sketching, oblivious to his surroundings.
"Oh, the new guy. Anyways, I'll see you there Seth" the girl said, before prancing over to her table. Angel rolled her eyes again, and peeked over at Sylis' sketch. Her jaw dropped. He'd been sketching her, only she looked much better in his sketch than in reality probably. He'd drawn her from the moment when she'd examined the doll. He'd even drawn in the stray strand of hair that had dangled by her nose right then, and she felt her face heat up as she blushed. He definately was a mystery, she knew that for sure.
