I am not a pill, Lawrence grumbled, changing into his outfit. He brushed a comb through his hair and brushed his teeth before stepping back into into their room, yawning widely.

~oh you’re not a pill? Then why did it take so long for you to try or are you just thinking and I am skimming again?~ This was going to be a bit hard for him to tell. But if Lawrence did not mind him skimming then it was fine by him. ~so why are you all of a sudden being mister grumpy pants?~ Pulling open the door he waited for Lawrence to walk trough. “if you don’t try to send a thought at me we won’t know if I can talk to you when we are in separate classes you know.”

It's still a little strange for me, okay? Remember that I'm so not used to this... Lawrence grabbed his things and stepped out of the door, smiling slightly. "I'm not cranky. I'm okay."

“I don’t mind if you find it strange, I just wanted to make sure that I could hear you.” Seeing the boy that had woken them josh got an evil smile on his face. ~you go on ahead I am going to have a bit of fun~ he told Lawrence before stepping up to the boy. “You know how you threaten to get us out of bed?”

Lawrence pretended to go on ahead, but he just waited a few feet away for Josh, curious as to what sort of fun he was going to have. There were hints of a smile on his face.

“yes and it seems that it is not needed.” The older boy raised an eyebrow as he stood up from the table he had been reading at.
“well you see, our friend Tzal.” The older boy rolled his eyes at the thought that anyone but William was friends with Tzal. “well he was supposed to get up too and I know he is being lazy and the poor boy that they sent to wake him is just so seared. Would you mind waking him?” the thought of getting to pull the blankets off of Tzalmon and not get in trouble for it made the older boy smile.
“he most likely would have come to get me any ways, thank you for the early warning.” Walking past them he went up the stairs to where Tzal and Williams room was.

Lawrence giggled, then frowned. "I don't know if that was such a good idea. If he really doesn't feel well, he should be able to stay in bed."

Tzalmon had started to drift off into sleep again. He was dead tired and felt sick to his stomach...

~If he would drink what was made for him he would feel better.~ josh smiled and wrapped his arm around Lawrence’s shoulders, like guys sometimes do.
The door to Tzal’s room rattled as it was pushed open. “Rise and shine buttercup!”he had always wanted to say that. The older boy stood in the door way with poor Tim peeking in around his waist. “Angelo said you had to be up and if you still did not feel good you had to drink what he made for you. You want me to get the Prof?” Tzal and this man had spared on a few times with their powers, where Tzal controlled fire he had Ice. At first they both had thought that professor Angelo had been joking that it would improve their control but it had.

"Yeah...but he said he felt like he was going to throw up, right? I think he's afraid he'll throw whatever that drink is up if he tries to drink it..." Lawrence sounded concerned.

Tzalmon didn't come up from under the blankets. He stayed put where he was, immediately wrapping himself up in a sort of cocoon with his blankets so they couldn't be pulled off of him.

“you know Tzal you are one of the most stubborn, spoiled, arrogant boys that I know that goes to this school and that is saying a lot.” Gently touching the blanket he slowly started to freeze it. One small strand at a time. “if you don’t come out and drink it I am going to have to wake up your lover, and from what Angelo said he is not going to be in the best of shape..”
“if he is not going to obey the teaches then he gets what he deservers.” If he remembered correctly the class they should be going to was study hall. Looking around he gave Lawrence a quick peck. Woundering what Lawrence thought of it the moment he did it he listened to his thoughts.

Tzal's stomach made a very unfriendly sound, and he melted each strand as he froze it with a little bit of heat. "If you do not leave. I am going to spew my guts all over you," he groaned. "If I try to drink that, I won't be able to keep it down."

Lawrence went bright red, and his thoughts were all embarrassment, at the moment. "Um...but what...if he really wouldn't be able to keep it down?"

“if you cant keep it down we will just have to tell Angelo. Now up and at’um.” Doubling the amounts of stands that he froze.
“if he cant then I guess he will just have to……” Josh stopped in his tracts. “lets go talk to Angelo.” He took off running down the hall as the bell rang.

Tzalmon doubled the heat, at once. "Leave me alone...or I will puke on you. My attendance record is near-perfect, and I don't often get sick. Leave me be."

Lawrence squeaked and quickly followed Josh. "Hey...wait up!"

Running up to their class room josh stopped to catch his breath. “teacher….”deep breath. “is Tza….” Another deep breath. “lmon in this class?”

Lawrence breathed heavily, leaning against the wall. "Note...to self...exercise more..." he wheezed.

The teacher, a younger man, raised an eyebrow. "Er...Tzalmon Eolian? Yes, he is," he confirmed, nodding. "Why do you ask?"

~should not have run, now I don’t feel that great.~ sitting down in a seat he gulped in another breath before talking again. “he is not feeling well, and I thought that we could go and make sure he was ok but not come back to class. I am Josh Lynley, and we have some classes together. I thought we three could work on our work when he is feeling good and we can be there if he needs something.”

"Um...I'm Lawrence Marleigh...I'm a bright student and I do most of my work studying by myself...I promised Tzalmon I would help him with his tutoring, so we still need to divide that schedule up...I promise we will be here the next time we have study hall."

The teacher's brow furrowed, and then he sighed. "...All right. Do you want permanent passes? With the permission of the dean or a high-ranking teacher, you could get permanent passes, if you want to help Tzalmon and perhaps William out with their tutoring this period."

Lawrence blinked. ~...Hey...that's a really good idea. Study halls are pretty much pointless, anyway...~

~yes yes that is a good idea.~ Josh stood up and bowed to the teacher. “yes sir that would be best, can you give us the pass or do we need to talk to someone else?”
In Tzal room the older boy stopped trying to wake up tzal and stared off into space. “so you have some weird friends.”

"Unfortunately, I'm not a high-ranking enough teacher to give you the pass. I will have to call the dean, Professor Angelo, or Coach to get permission." Coach was what everyone called the PE teacher, since he was the only one in the entire school.

Lawrence frowned. ~...Who should we ask?~

Tzalmon grunted in response, barely moving.

“But you can excuse us for today right?” josh turned towards the door anticipating that he would say yes.

"For today, yes. But not next time," the teacher warned. "You will need to have me call one of those three...so choose one for the next time you have class here."

Lawrence turned with Josh, quite content.

“thank you, and do you have to or can I talk to one of those you listed for the permission?” josh waited just long enough before taking off back down the hall. This time a bit more slowly.

"You could talk to one of them, I suppose," the teacher added, sitting back at his desk.

Lawrence went with him, easily. "Well...this worked out perfectly. I think William might be in that study hall, too...so we can all hang out together or something, I guess, when we have this study hall."

~Do you really want to go to their room or just go back to what we were doing before they woke us up?~ slowing down josh turned around to get a better look as he said that.
Up in Williams room after having his feet cooled and heated a couple times over he pulled the blanket away from whatever was freezing it. “go a way.” He voice was cold and agitated. Then he realized that he had uncovered part of Tzal. ~sorry dear heart, who is the pain that is freezing my feet, and can I hurt him?~ reaching out he ran his fingers lightly along the back of Tzal shirt. ~take it off when he goes?~

Lawrence tilted his head. "Um...I guess we could go and get some rest," he offered, smiling. "Unless you want to copy my notes or something." Lawrence was a little tired, indeed...

Tzal nuzzled him, contently. ~I will get rid of him. And if you want, I certainly will take it off...~ He lifted his head up to stare at the other student. "We have permission to skip study hall, now. Shoo."
