Maria was noticing Logan and Conrad a LOT more often now.
For one, they were both in her first block class, and her lunch. Logan made an annoying habit of poking her at exactly 7:53, 8:15, 8:47, and 9:02 EVERY DAY to make sure she was working.
Also, whenever Conrad and Kyle passed her desk to get a magnifying glass, Conrad would accidentally yet violently bump into her desk, sending her flopping to the floor.
It was now Thursday of the second week of class. It was 8:15.
“Wake up,” Logan whispered, poking her back.
Maria just swatted his arm away, not bothering to lift her head.
Logan poked.
Maria swatted.
At 8:47, nothing happened. Maria looked behind her, surprised.
But Logan wasn’t there.
“Boqay. Whatever. . .,” she said, and turned back around.
Suddenly, it was as though her desk was tilting sideways. One side lifted off the ground while the other remained on the ground. Maria grabbed her books so they wouldn’t fall.
“OH MY GOD EW PLEASE STOP DOING THAT BOQAY??” Maria demanded angrily.
Her desk was put back to normal.
She whipped her head to the right, just in time to see Logan setting her desk down.
“OH MY GOD EW! LOGAN, PLEASE JUST GO AWAY! WHAT WAS THAT??” Maria screamed an inch away from his face.
“The climb!” Logan said happily.
Maria glared at him. She grabbed him by the collar, and got all up in his face.
“Never again,” she whispered, very slowly. “Never. Do. That. Again.”
Logan got up and went back to his desk, just as Conrad walked by. Kyle Joy was close behind him.
Conrad accidentally bumped into her desk, sending her flopping to the ground and out of her chair.
“OH MY GOOOOOOOOOD!” Maria roared.
“So sorry!” Conrad gasped, as Kyle Joy cracked up behind him.
Maria’s arm shot forward, and she grabbed Conrad’s ankle before he could leave, sending him falling to the floor. As soon as he landed, the entire building shook.
“Sorry!” Conrad cried. “It was just an accident that I’ve made 9 times in a row! Calm down, Maria!”
Maria screamed, kicking her legs around.
Kyle Joy, a couple inches behind Conrad as usual, tripped right over Conrad, and also landed on the floor.
“CONRAD OMG YOU SCRAPED THE INK OF MY TULIP TATTOO AWAY! STUPID CONRAD!” Kyle Joy screamed.
“Maria!” Conrad cried.
“Not doin’ it!” Maria yelled.
“What??” Conrad and Kyle Joy said.
“Conrad,” Maria addressed. “Never. Do. That. Again.”
“Fine,” Conrad muttered.
The 3 laid there silently for a couple of seconds. Logan crawled up to them.
“Hi,” he whispered.
