Dexy

First meeting

Setting: Thorn-Rose High; chemistry class
Time: Mid-morning
——————————
Desire- He calmly strides into the classroom, taking his normal seat. “What a great class to start to day.” He says with a tiny smile. “Chemistry class with Mr. Houston.”
As a few more students enter the Chemistry classroom, Desire plays with the few pencils he brought.
Desire looks upwards as a hint of a galaxy pattern appears before his eyes.
Galaxy- She takes a seat next to Desire; as the seat she normally steals has already been taken.
Desire- “Mornin’.” Desire says to Galaxy as she takes a seat.
Galaxy- Galaxy responds with:  “Morning..”. She takes out a few blue mechanical pencils that she had been given earlier that morning.
Desire- He tries to start up a simple conversation with Galaxy. “First day of the Sophomore year..”
Galaxy- “Yep. Totally excited for it..” Galaxy smiles slightly, and looks over at Desire.
Desire- He smiles brightly.
The two quickly turn their heads so their faces are towards the front of the classroom as their snotty Chemisty teacher; Mr. Houston; entered the class.
Mr. Houston- “Hello, you ‘smart’ Sophomores. As some of you may remember from last year; I am your chemistry teacher; Mr. Houston. For the newbies here at Thorn-Rose High; I welcome you to the school, and my beloved class.”
Some of the other Sophomores in the classroom smile, and mutter to each other, saying things like: “He seems like a nice teacher!”, “I’m so glad I don’t have Mrs. Ridge again!”, and “I’m excited!”.
Desire and Galaxy exchange disgusted looks, as they both had Mr. Houston last year in their Freshmen year. They didn’t enjoy his terrible company, whatsoever.
Mr. Houston- He hands out a sheet of notebook paper to each student. “I would like to know about each and every one of you. Please; on the sheet of paper; write your name, your age, your favorite pass-times, and your occupations.”
Desire- “Wish I brought the one I had written last year.” Desire jokingly says.
Galaxy- She giggles. “Same here.” She writes simple sentences, instead of paragraphs like Mr. Houston probably expects.
Desire- He smiles, and begins to write.
Galaxy- Her cheeks go a rosey-pink as she continues to write this small bio for herself.
