Ehl was beaten by a long shot. "Whew!" he wheezed, wiping his shaggy hair out of his face. The artist wasn't very athletic. Catching up to Demetri had been an ordeal that he conquered by meeting him outside of math class. "We *gasp* have the same math class, *wheeze* eh?" He clapped his pale hand onto Demetri's shoulder. "You *cough* are fast, Demi."

"Seemes that way!" Demitri stated as he looked down at the artist then up at some one walking bye. He gave a small stepp back as Ehl placed a hand on him. It didnt bother him that he did it but it was a little surprising. "Thanks" Demi muttered and gave a wave to anna as she skipped bye and into what looked like a english class room. He gave a snort at this. "How come she gets all the easy classes this term!" he grummbled, before he helped Ehl into the class. "I assume you have a seat alredy so whers it at!?" Demitri asked rather coldly. he hated math and Math techors. it all was rooted in his elimentry years and the old geezer who taught them simple math. The bastard Called Anna a silly girl who didnt know anything, Not tomention he constantly flunked Demitri. So from then on out Demitri hated math and anyone associated with teaching it.

Alika looked up from her book to see the two boys. She raised a brow at them when she saw that they were out of breath, she rolled her eyes ~Boys~ she thought to herself. She took a better look at Demitri. ~He must be the one all those girls were around at lunch. He is kind of cute.~ She thought, just before the bell rang and she put her nose back into her book.

Ehl broke away from Demetri to sit in his seat beside Alika. "Sorry Demi," he said, "the only open seat is near the back."
He glanced over at the girl, his blue eyes smiling. She was reading before class, as she usually did. Ehl tossed his bag under his chair and pulled out his textbook. The homework was messily stuffed into the pages, much to the artist's disliking. Guess I was really tired last night, he thought. Then again, he had never appreciated math. It was one of his worst subjects; he was a genious when it came to English and creative topics, but math was far too logical for him. The artist pulled his unfinished papers out and smoothed them, scanning over the answers. Many figures and numbers were drawn all over the pages, making the real solutions difficult to find.
"Pass your work forward," the teacher said, clapping his thick hands.
Ehl sighed in defeat and handed his uncompleted homework to the student in front of him. Well, there goes another "F-".
"Open your books to page 324."
Once again, Ehl let a light sigh pass through his pale lips. He was completely lost - and they hadn't even started class yet. The problems on the page were something out of his comfort range . . . in fact, they were out of his ability range. Unsolvable.
Through the entire class, Ehl struggled his way through the work. Most of it wasn't comprehended, but he tried anyway. Fail. Epic fail.
When the bell rang, he blushed and turned to Alika before she could stand to leave. "Do you have any idea what the heck we're doing? I'm so lost. . . ." His blue eyes flickered to her face before glancing back down at the crumpled paper in his hand.

Alika did her best to hide her smile. "Yes, and some of it my help you if you had a graphic calculate." She cleared her thought, "If you want, I can help you out if you like?" She kind of asked. This was a little new to her, most people didn't want to talk her; they all thought that she was weird or she was going to put a spell on them if they got in her way. She looked at Ehl ~He's definitely different from all the others.~

Ehl smiled in relief. "If you could help me understand this gibberish, I'd be eternally in your debt." ((Just a question... what color of hair and eyes does she have again? Long hair, right? :XD)) He glanced at the classroom clearing out before tilting his head questioningly. "After school? Or do you have time now?" The pale artist ran a slender hand through his dark hair. "I have a free block for next class, so I don't have to be anywhere until History." Thank God someone is willing to help me.

((Yes, long red hair and deep purple eyes))

"Now's fine. I have study hall next, I usually just go to the library." Alika gave Ehl a small twitch of a smile. "Meet me in the library in 5 minutes." She picked up her books from the desk and looked back to Ehl. "Okay?" Then it dawned on her, she hasn't told him her name. "I'm Alika; by the way."

"Ehl," the artist replied, nodding. "Library in five minutes. I'll be there." He smiled and waved at Alika, gathering his own supplies. It was then that he looked around the room for Demetri, wondering if the boy had left without him.

Alika went by her locker and grabbed a blue folder that had 'Math' written on it and she also grabbed her calculator too. After she grabbed what she need, she shut the locker and made her way towards the library to wait for Ehl.

While she waited she pulled out her book once more and began to read.

Demitri sat through the whole class being as silent as the grave... or so to speak. He would glance aroiound the room at the math posters and thinking of how he hated math. As soon as the bell ran he gatherd his things and shot out of his seat. He was leaving no opening for that techer to talk to him. No way no HOW!!
"Oh wait!" he stated and stomped to a hult. "i dont know where that biology class is!" He stated and hitailed it back to the Math class hopeing to ceatch Ehl befor the boy left.

Anna stepped from her class to go to her next class. "lets see What do i have now?" she asked herself before she fumbled through her things to find her sceedual. She wasnt as quick to remember things like Demitri. He mostly did that so he could pick fights with people he didnt like But this school forbided that AND he had no friends and didnt want any.... well So she thought. "Ehl's Demis friend... i think!" She said to herself and glanced over her classes. "Whats.... library mean!?" She asked slightly confused."OH thats the class....Noo?" Still confused she saught help from some one who would know.

Ehl gathered his things and shoved them into his bag, hefting it over his shoulder. Stepping out into the hallway, the slender artist was swiftly rewarded with a flying tackle from Demetri. "Down, boy!" Ehl gasped, struggling beneath the blond man's weight.
A few girls giggled as they passed, taking pictures with phones and skipping away. "Fighting over the sister already?" one of them commented with a laugh.
Ehl blushed, and turned his blue eyes toward Demetri. "I missed you too." Coughing lightly, the pale boy brushed his black hair away from his eyes. "What's the rush, Flash? I need to meet someone."

Demitri Grunted slightly. He was in no way in a hurry to see Ehl of all people. In facct he would rather of tackled his Grandmother insted. But that was beside the point. Ehl knew where he was going, Demi however didnt.
"I dont have a dmaned clue where this class is and your helping me!" Demitri growled as he watched the girls around them. "If you dont i wont ever let you talk to Anna EVER again!" He stated knowing he liked his "kid" Sister.

"My my," Ehl muttered, getting up and brushing himself off, "aren't we calm? No worries, Demi." His blue eyes fixed on Anna's twin, a bit of anger setting into them. You may be her brother, but you don't rule her life. Despite his friendly words, the artist seemed tense and feral. But Ehl didn't let that stop him from being . . . nice. This was Anna's brother. Besides, it could just be that Demetri was having a bad day. "Alright, I'll show you around real quick. But I need to be somewhere in," he checked his watch, "three minutes.Which class are you headed to?"

Demitri senced ehls irritation with him but he didnt care, he only ignored it and pointed to the schedual. "Ive got Biology with Anna next and shes probably as lost as i am!" He stated still being a complete grouch.
"Demi their you are!" Anna came rounding a corner and latched onto her brother. He rolled his eyes and heaved a sigh. "I got lost again and couldent find my class.!" She stammored clutching her paper.
"Well you and i have the same classes for the rest of the day so we will go and ger lost together!" Demitri said trying to pull his arm from Anna. "Let go!!" he whined but found the girl wasnt going to release him from her deathgrip.

"No, no," Ehl said, shifting his bag onto his shoulder. "I'd love to show you guys how to get to the classroom." Now that Anna needs it too. "Really, it's no problem at all."
Motioning for the twins to follow him, the artist smiled grimly and began to walk down the hallway. His movements were quick and darting as he moved - it was what happened when he was frustrated.
Glancing at his wrist watch, he sighed. Well, I'll be a few minutes late, he thought. Hope Alika isn't going to be too mad with me.

Alika glanced at the clock on the wall at the time. She put her book down and pulled out her math notes and book and a notebook of paper and a pen. After she had everthing that she need out to help Ehl with is math she looked around the library and saw some books that need to be put away so she desided to do some work while she waited.

Anna and Demitri fallowed close behind Ehl. anna noticed his mood and her brothers. "Apes!" She stated to herself.
"What!?" Demitri Said giving anna a confused look.
"Oh nothing!" She said with a smile before ceatching up to Ehl as fast as she could. "Ehl im sorry if were being a bother!" She said knowing he had class too. "Your not our choferr so you can go to class if you need!"anna said with a pleasent smile as she attempted to stop him and get him to listen.

"Nah, it's no problem, really," Ehl said, slowing down a bit as Anna attempted to stop him. "I just have someone I'm supposed to be meeting right about now." His blue eyes were full of anger, but his smile lied about what he was feeling. "Here's the classroom."
The artist nodded to Anna, and glanced at Demetri, before turning and disappearing back into the hallway. He was inside of the school library within a couple minutes, scanning the room for Alika's red hair. When he spotted her, the tall teen headed over to her.
"I'm sorry for being late," he said, chuckling sheepishly. Even though it was over five minutes after the time he was supposed to be there, Ehl inwardly shrugged. Hope she's not mad. Girls can get like that sometimes.

"You fine." Alika said as she put up the last book that was in her hands. She turned around to Ehl and pointed to the table with all the work books on it. "Now, what parts on you having trouble in?" She asked him as they sat down at the table and opened her book.

Setting his bag next to his chair, the artist smiled grimly. "I would say all of it," he coughed, "but that would just be mean. I think I ended up getting completely lost somewhere in chapter three." He flipped the book open to the specified page and scanned. "Yep. Right about here. For some reason, I just can't figure it out."

((No need to actually start explaining math, just say something like: and then they worked on it together, blah blah blah, she helped him, blah blah blah. . . . LOL)))

((lol....I wouldn't even had tried to do that. I haven't been in school in the last 5 years.))

Alika looked through her notes for the right chapter. She handed the notes over to him. "These notes will help you understand the chapter a little better." She started to help him with his work for the next half hour.

((Haha, yeah . . . and math is the worst! Or, at least, to me. >.<'))

Ehl smiled as he accepted the notes, and began to go through them. Asking the occassional question, the artist worked hard at understanding the complicated riddles of logic. When the bell rang to signal the switching of classes, Ehl jumped in surprise.
"That time already?" he laughed, glancing at his watch. "Wow. Time sure flies when you're . . . well, working hard, I guess."
His blue eyes scanned over the notes and open book that lay before him, nodding. "Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it. I mean, really appreciate it." He was on the verge of failing his math class, and the extra help was much needed.
"I have art next," Ehl sighed in relief, shoving his pencil and papers back into his bag sloppily. "Hallelujah!"

((I was okay in math, but I was better in English.))

Alika chuckled at Ehl as she put her things away. After she had all of her stuff put away, she picked up her over the should bag. "So, if you don't mind me asking, who was that new guy in math?"

"His name's Demetri," Ehl said, trying to keep his face friendly. "He and his twin sister are transfer students from another school." The very thought of Anna's twin made his inner fire kindle up to a soft roar. If anyone could annoy him, it was Demi.
Standing, he lifted his bag onto his slender shoulder, and brushed his loose white shirt free of wrinkles. "He's an interesting kind of guy," the artist said with a slight grimace. "Very hospitable and kind, especially when it comes to people that take an interest in his sister."

Alika got an evil little grin on her face. "Maybe I can help him with is math too." She said as she made her way to the door. "Well, I have health next."
