"Favorite isn't exactly the word I'd use," he replied, returning her half smile with a half smile of his own. When she asked why he didn't enjoy business though he smile dropped off the edge of the planet. "Nah, the teacher's fine, and there's not too much homework or anything..." He said trailing off at the end, he wasn't sure how to continue or, more to the point, if he wanted to continue. He liked to make people laugh, sure, but continuing would probably only end in him being laughed at by a pretty girl, which was not exactly something he wanted to wittingly walk into. It only took once for a guy to learn his lesson and Jay had already been taught his lesson from Cami Saunders in second grade.

"It's just that..." He said, hesitating with what to say, his eyes drifted over the top of her head and he began rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly and hopping from foot to foot. "Fuck it," he finally said under his breath before deciding to just tell her the truth, he was a guy, he could wear his faults. "I've just never liked it, ever. Like those annoying, bratty kids who claim to hate food they've never tried, yeah, I'm just like that with Business. Geography as well as long as we're being honest." He blurted out quickly, not taking a breath the whole time.

Only after he had gotten that all out did his eyes move back to meet her stunning green ones again. He's not ashamed of anything about himself and it's not exactly one of his biggest secret or anything but definitely not something he enjoyed telling pretty girls about, especially not ones he thought he might have a chance with. Then again pretty much bowling her over in the corridor wasn't exactly working in his favor either. Who knows, maybe she liked spastic, annoyingly childish guys.
