9:30 AM, Beth's math class
---------

"Now, if you carry the twelve and bring it over here..." the math teacher, Mrs. Blorkne, said, easily losing Beth and the majority of the class' attention.

Man, I assumed lots of things for highschool. This was not one of them, Beth thinks to herself, slouching in her chair. It was her first day of highschool, and she did not like how it was going. She ended up sitting next to the really annoying boy, who did anything but pay attention. Even Beth was doing better by doing nothing at all.

His name was Isaiah, and Beth knew she'd remember it for a while. He was currently talking to his friend about someone named Bella, a person she didn't know, and didn't want to know.

Suddenly, Beth could hear the very quiet beats of music coming from Isaiah's headphones. Although she wasn't enjoying the class, the last thing she wanted to hear was his music taste, considering the possibilities that it would make her dislike him even more.

She roughly taps his shoulder a few times, gaining his attention surprisingly quick. "Hm?"

"Can you turn down your music? I can hear it," she answers in the most kind way possible at the moment.

"What? Afraid you might like it?" He jokingly says, raising his eyebrow.

"Actually, I hate it. And you're about to go onto that list of things I hate if you don't turn it down." She glares at him.

He lets out a quiet laugh, and turns back to the front of the class, ignoring her.

She let's out a sigh, deciding to attempt to ignore his music as to not get in trouble.
