Your voice sounds sexy.
The teacher sets his mug down and turns his back to the class, he pulls a flask from his pocket and pours a bit into his coffee, he returns the flask to his pocket, he turns to the class and takes a sip.
Mr. Keller: Ok, good morning.
He takes another sip.
Mr. Keller: Really good morning... You know the drill pass your homework to the front of the row.
Cut to James and Mahoney who sit next to eachother in the very back of their respective rows. They keep their voices at a whisper.
Mahoney: Did you finish?
James: No, I didn't get to the ending.
Mahoney: Really? You already have a D in here.
James: I know, it fucking sucks, I need this credit.
Mahoney hands his paper to the student in front of him, the seat in front of James is empty, he doesn't pass his up anyway. Mr. Keller walks around and collects the papers before taking another sip of the coffee.
Mr. Keller: That everyone?
James looks to the front of the room.
James: Oh... shit. Hold on.
James hands his paper up, Mr. Keller puts it on top of the stack.
Mr. Keller: Language, James.
James: Sorry.
Mr. Keller sits at his desk, takes a sip of coffee and speaks to the class.
Mr. Keller: Ok, freewrite for the next 15 minutes.
Cut back to James and Mahoney, Mahoney has a blank piece of paper on his desk holding his head up with one hand and holding a pencil in the other, he looks at James then the seat in front of him.
Mahoney: Where's Abbi?
James: I don't know.
Mahoney: Did she seem sick yesterday?
James: Didn't talk to her yesterday.
Mahoney: What about the day before, maybe she was sick both days.
James: Didn't talk to her.
Mahoney: Why not?
James shrugs.
Mahoney: Aren't you worried about her?
James shrugs again.
Mahoney: Why aren't you worried?
James: If she's dead I'm sure I'd know.
Mahoney: That's fucked up.
Mr. Keller shouts from across the room.
Mr. Keller: Language, god damn it!
Mahoney: Sorry, Mr. Keller.
Mahoney looks back at James.
Mahoney: So are you guys like having problems.
James: No.
Mahoney: Yes you are, you haven't talked in 2 days, she's your girlfriend.
James: For 3 days...
The door to the classroom opens, a girl walks in and hands Mr. Keller a note, she walks over and sits down in front of James, he starts acting completely different.
James: Where have you been, I've been worried about you.
Abbi: I was sick.
James: It's been so long since I've seen you, I missed you.
Abbi: I missed you too.
James looks at Mahoney.
James: There's your answer.
Abbi turns around and looks at James.
Abbi: Answer to what?
James: Mahoney was wondering why I seemed so worried, I was just about to tell him when you walked in. I was worried because I hadn't seen you in a few days.
Abbi: Oh.
Mahoney looks at Abbi.
Mahoney: ... Mr. Keller collected the homework already.
Abbi: Oh, thanks.
Abbi turns around and pulls a piece of paper out of her bookbag, stands up and takes it to Mr. Keller to turn in. Mahoney raises an eyebrow at James.
Mahoney: What was that?
James: What was what?
Mahoney: You just said you didn't care where she was.
James: Yeah...
Mahoney: But now you're saying you're worried about her.
James: So? I'm not gonna say I didn't care that she was gone in front of her.
Abbi returns, Mahoney and James both stop talking and look straight down at their papers.
