That Sticky Note!

Bryce sat in his desk with his arms crossed over his chest. His blonde locks seemed to fall in front of his left eye and each time he pushed it away it had fallen back. "Okay so," Ryan began, holding papers between his fingers. "I finally got your test graded and I have to say I'm impressed. So I'll pass these back to you it is your option as to what you want to do with them." Bryce held his breath as Ryan approached his desk, gently placing a paper down on it.

Bryce wasted no time turning it over and his eyes went wide once he saw the grade and beside it was a orange sticky note. He looked around before tearing it off his paper and holding it in his palm, not wanting anyone to see it. Bryce knew he was the only one who had gotten one so when he decided to finally check it he saw it had a smiley face on the back.

McQuaid,

I told you you'd do better after staying after with me.

The smile had taken over Bryce's frown before he could even stop it from happening. He could feel eyes on him and knew Ryan was watching him closely. So without thinking he looked up and his eyes locked with hazel ones, Ryan broke out in a grin whenever he seen the smile the younger male was wearing. "Uh," Ryan looked away from Bryce. "So today we are just going to go over the quick parts of the body and the way they function."

Bryce didn't pay much attention in class because he was still trying to go over the sticky note tucked into his back pocket. Flash backs of high school came to mind and sent a shiver up Bryce as just the memory of how much time he spent with Ryan. He couldn't believe the older male admitted that he was the one behind the paper.

The bell ringing snapped Bryce out of his thoughts and he stood to pack but slowly, he wanted to waste as much time as he could so he didn't have to deal with Ritz complements which happened every day he got there early. "I will be seeing you tomorrow right?" Ryan's voice played through his head like a song that made certain emotions go into play. "Yeah, I don't think I'd skip unless something came up." His answer was honest and he ended up giving a small smile to his teacher who leaned cooly against a desk. Ryan only nodded and watched as Bryce began to leave.

Bryce opened the door and headed down the halls to his next class where Ritz was grading papers. He had to admit, for Ritz being such a laid back guy he gave a lot of handout work. Bryce knew Ryan should've been the one to do that seeing as to how important learning that would be but he didn't. His only expectation was for them to study and pass.

Ritz finally sighed and sat down his pen as w stood from his desk and looked around the room to see if everyone was in his class, counting heads. "Okay so one is not here. I'm guessing it's Smitty cause he didn't show up last time. Is Smitty in here?" The room stayed silent as people began to look around for the boy but when Ritz didn't get an answer he marked something on his sheet. "Okay so today we are just going to read. You all have plenty of time to finish one chapter-if not more. I don't expect it though. There will be a test sometime next week so I suggest you study. I have papers here with grades and I'll be handing them out pretty soon." Everyone pulled out their books and began to read.

Some fell asleep on their books with drool coming out of their mouth while others just stared blankly at it. No one was really interested in what information the book held. Bryce, however, was reading but only because he didn't feel like asking Ryan to help him with yet another subject. Doing what he was getting help with now was hard enough for him.

As the time passed Ritz finally handed papers out five minutes before the bell rang. "Bryce you did well on that test. I hope you do just as well on the other one that's coming up." He could hear the smile in his voice. "Thanks, I think I will." Bryce said, throwing his bag over his shoulder. Ritz leaned into his chair, "You know if you need help you can always stay over..I could help you with a lot of things in this class." His voice had sent shivers down Bryce's spine and slightly made him feel uncomfortable. If Ryan was here he knew for sure the older male would say something to him but the fact that he wasn't made his stomach turn and drop. "Um, that's great and all but I've already asked Wrecker to help me. If I fall behind though, I'll check into it."

With that the blonde waved goodbye to his teacher and went to the next class he had.

Bryce threw his bag down and landed on the bed. Today had drained him of all his energy and if he was honest his hand was killing him. Bryce turned on his labtop after pulling himself off the bed and turned it on so he could watch some stuff over his test when his school chat went off. He made a face and opened it to the someone had messages him over chat.

Smii7y: Hey man you're in professor Ritz class right?

Guessing by the name tag he could only guess this was Smitty. The one who already missed two days.

Bryce: Yeah.

Smii7y: What did we do? No video was posted.

Bryce: Read mostly. There's an upcoming test next week.

Smii7y: Thanks man.

Bryce: You're Welcome.
