Ep 1 Part 3 Becoming part 1

Third Person

The teacher was explaining some war to the class as everyone typed away at their computers, except for Jim. He was dreamily staring at y/n as she worked. Tobby tried getting his attention but quickly gave up with a sigh. " Really," he whispered to himself. " Close your mouth. Your drooling," he whispered to Jim. " No. No, I'm not." He said to him. Y/n looked back to see Jim staring. She blushed then smiled and waved at him. He bushed and nervously waved back, smiling stupidly.

Tobby started typing into his computer quickly. " What are you doing," Jim asked curiously. " Research." He responded plainly. " Hey, look up 'talking amulet'" y/n said, listening in on the conversation now, from the other side of Tobby. " I already did that. All I got were toys. One of them was a plushy." He said back. " Jim, wouldn't you agree." A deep voice asked from beside him, startling him out of staring at y/n again, who had gone back to work.

" Sir!?" He asked nervously. " With Herodidtary's decisions on war, as I described?" The teacher said, taking out a pen and absently popping the lid on and off. " Oh, ah, absolutely," he said cheerfully as Tobby started to whistle, looking away. " Excellent. Which tactic specifically?" The teacher asked. " The, ah,... winning ones?" he said nervously as everyone laughed.

The bell rang and the teacher started yelling out instructions as everyone left. "Jim, may I have a word?" He asked last. Jim nodded as his school bag fell off the desk. They both bent down to pick up the mess as the teacher said, " Jim, you're distracted. You fell asleep between the invasion of Attica and the peace of Nicias, and your attention wandered for the rest of class." " Sorry, I didn't get a lot of sleep last night." He apologized. " I know it's just you and your mother and you want to help her..." the teacher was saying. " She's just really tired, Mr Strickler. She's been working double shifts at the clinic." Jim interrupted. " I believe I'm overdue for a conversation with her. Have her call me please." Mr Strictlar said, handing Jim a slip of paper. " Uhh..." Jim started. " And feel free to come by my office if you ever need to talk." The teacher finished. " Ya, I.. I'll do that," Jim responded. " Oh, and Jim, if you fancy miss Nunez, I submit that talking to her about it would be much more effective than staring." Mr Strickler said with a smug look. Jim walked away, smiling with a blush.

In PE, Tobby was trying to climb the rope but not getting very far. " Almost there. So close." He was saying. " Come on, Tobs." y/n cheered. " You got this." Jim put in as y/n walked off towards her sister. "Soo close," he said as he fell. The coach came up behind them and said, " What is that on my rope? Every student here should be able to climb this rope and ring that bell. I want all of ya to be made of iron. Iron!" He yelled, poking Tobby in the stomach.

Jim looked over at the bleachers and saw y/n sitting with her sister and her friends. They were all laughing at Claire's phone. He went over to try and start a conversation. " Buenas Noches." " You speak Spanish?" Claire asked confused. " Since when?" y/n asked laughing. " Um. Um, uh." Jim tried talking but was distracted by how beautiful he thought y/n's laugh was as he stared at her. " Come on, guys." One of Claire's friends said, waking away.

" Do you like Shakespeare?" The twins asked together. " What?" Jim asked, looking between them. " Do you like Shakespeare?" Claire asked again as y/n giggled. " Shakespeare?" He asked, dreamily looking at y/n again with a blush. " The school play. We're having trouble getting boys to audition. " Claire explains as y/n looks at Jim, smiling expectantly. " o.. oh, Hasta Luego." He said as they left, y/n giving him a small wave and smile before catching up to her sister. He looked back to see the couch still criticizing the stuck Tobby.

Jim's POV

Me and Tobby sit on the benches in the locker room putting on our shoes, at least I am, Tobby is trying his best. I look over at him as he grunts trying to put his sock on. " So close!" he shouts as he continues trying, almost falling off the bench in the process. " So you talked to her?", Tobby asks as he continues to struggle. He falls off the bench with a grunt, laying upside down as he continues, " Like actually spoke to her? Not just, you know, in your head?"
