Snippet #2453618

Mika couldn't help but to see markings on Chase when she had removed her sweatshirt, but he immediately glanced back down at his notebook before glancing up at the clock. "Idle conversation." He started, as he sat forward in his chair, closing his notebook and dropping it into his backpack. He blinked a few times, knowing that despite the fact that he didn't want to be a complete ass, he didn't want to press on the conversation any longer than need be.

"Let's continue this project later, yes?" He asked, hoping that it would be a clear hint that he was over the conversation. He had said it quietly enough that no one around them would hear. With that comment, however, he rose and pulled his backpack from the floor. Tossing it over his shoulder, he started towards the front of the room towards the teacher. He leaned over the desk where Mr. Jennings sat and mumbled something before leaving the classroom.

As soon as he got into the hallway, he couldn't help but to smile. He had a study hall next, which meant he could go into the courtyard and enjoy the winter air. He didn't mind the cold, nor the snow, and found it rather peaceful since no one ever seemed to want to go out of their way to be in the cold weather. He made his way just a few classrooms down, finding his bay of lockers and started to unlock it. He flipped the door open, and started to tug notebooks from his backpack to shove them into the metal box.
