Library and Assignment
The sound of the alarm finally enters the subconscious state of Joshua's mind, waking him up from his peaceful sleep. He then gets up from his bed, heading to the shower, eyes still half open but he should get ready otherwise.
While he walks onto his school's gate, he looks around to the other students around him, then said "Great goodness, everybody looks like a zombie." Because everyone really do walk and look like one. School after summer break effect is real and he is not denying it, he probably looks like that too.
Just ten steps after he entered the gate, the familiar annoying sound of a man that he knows suddenly appears, entering his ears, and all he could hear was just, "Hello mate! Mate Manchester, mate!" Of course it was Thomas mocking him with his awful, screeching, ear deafening, world destroying accent of British because he just get back from London.
Joshua just rolls his eyes, quietly screamed back at him, "Oh shut up you London wannabe!" While heading straight to his class.
Even the teacher looks like he's not even putting any effort in his job anymore. But it's Mr. Xabi, not quite surprising honestly.
After Mr. Xabi done inspecting his class, feeling like the amount of the students are enough to start the class, he then greets his class, with usual "Good morning, everyone." But then it seems like he's not going to say anything about the assignments that's been given to his students before the summer break start, instead he said, "today we're having a new student in here, please welcome Leon Goretzka and be nice to him."
Of course the students were not interested enough to make any slight change on their expression, not even a little smile. But then, as this one of God's creature starts to walk on to the front of the headboard, introducing himself, some of the girls starts to whispering, covering their mouth. Some boys would raise their eyebrows, checking him out. While there's one person who seems to be so, so in disbelief by this whole situation, and that is of course, no other than Joshua Kimmich.
Eyes open, brows furrowed, mouth slightly open, like a retarded man he looked at the new student, still in disbelief, even his face said, "there is no fucking way."
Without any further ado, Joshua whom knows that the only empty seat left in the class is the seat next to him, whispering to Thomas, "Thomas, Thomas!!" He whispered while hands still moving up and down smacking the empty seat next to him. Thomas just looked at the new kid, and then moves his glance to Joshua again, with a grinning smile on his face. Feeling no big deal, Thomas then moved quickly onto the empty seat next to Joshua before Mr. Xabi could see him.
Mr. Xabi then once again looking at his class' seats, seems to be that the only empty seat is now located in the seat where Thomas once was sitting at. "Well, gentleman, you can sit on the empty seat next to Musiala, and now let's start the class."
The school alarm then starts to ring again, this time is for indicating that class is over and the students are welcomed to take a break from the class.
Carefully packing his things back to his suitcase again, Mr. Xabi then said a goodbye to his students and get out of the class. Everyone was running like a zombie who just smelled the delicious, bloody, smell of a flesh. Joshua, being too lazy to even get up and go to the cafeteria quickly, just sat on his chair instead, tidying up his books, while that dummy Thomas is asleep instead.
As he tides up his book, he noticed that there were not only him and Thomas in the room. Well, unfortunately that Nietzsche boy toy is also in here too. What a twat. Joshua then rolls his eyes, but then he quickly noticed that Leon is reading a book. "Must've been Nietzsche again."
He then gets up from the chair, waking up Thomas, smacking his arm carefully, speaking with a lower volume he then said, "hey I'm going to the library. Want me to take you to the cafeteria too?"
Thomas, with his head slightly looking up, mouth still opened—good greatness he's about to drool... Joshua slightly disgusted at the silly scene infront of him.—"I'm sleeping." Thomas simply said, head goes back to his sleeping position, after. Okay then, without wasting any time, Joshua walks straight into the School's Library, excited to continue reading Metamorphosis by Kafka in peace.
Twenty pages in and suddenly a footsteps sound is coming near him, oh, somebody is about to sit beside him. Joshua slightly looked at the feet of the person that is heading towards him, but not wanting to be seen like he's not minding his own business, Joshua then turns his gaze back at his book again, with his usual feet kicking the ground repeatedly.—it's a reading habit.—
"Of course it's Metamorphosis again." Hearing the familiar sound beside him, Joshua quickly turns his head right to his side.. and his guess was right, it was the sound of that Nietzsche freak. Does that twat follows him?
Joshua then just gives an eye roll as a response for the other man's sarcasm, not wanting to waste anymore time into something so unnecessary.
But feeling a little curious, he secretly moved his eyes to see what book Leon is reading. Well, no surprise, it was just Nietzsche's another piece. What did he expect anyway? Sensing the other man's gaze is slowly moving to him, Joshua quickly turns his gaze back onto his book, to look normal as if he didn't even acknowledge Leon's presence.
Leon seeing Joshua being so focused on his book making him feel so.. angry, in a weird way. Like, not angry, angry, but angry admiration..? What is this even is? Leon then starts teasing that Kafka number one reader by saying, "Actually.. I have read that book."
Joshua seems to be too focused on his book, he just replies Leon's unclear nonsense while still reading his book, not giving a single glare at him. "What book?" He says.
Leon quickly replied, "The book that you're holding right now. Metamorphosis."
Feeling invested, Joshua turns his head to face Leon, he then puts his book on the table, "Really? Is it really good?" He asked, being the book nerd he is, always searching for a review of a book that he is currently reading.
"Well, I mean, it was good but not as good as what people talk about it. They act as if it was the greatest and meaningful literature that Kafka has ever wrote when it literally is just about a guy that turns into a bug, slowly rotting in his own room because everyone around him began to feel sick of him and just wanting him to fuck off and die. That is.. how the storyline is, actually." Leon said, while staring at Joshua dead in the eye, with the usual annoying smile plastered on his face.
Joshua still processing every single word that Leon just said, and then he replied with a simple, "Oh, okay." While nodding as a sign that he completely understand what Leon just said.
"Boring right?" Leon simply said, and then just get up from the chair and left Joshua alone, while Joshua's gaze is still fixed on him.
"well that was strange."
The class has finally ended, means it's time to go home. While Joshua was just walking close to the school's gate, somebody suddenly just jumps right at him, making him about to fall because of the sudden impact.
He could hear the laughter from the other students around him. What's so funny? He would say. He then just continue walking, but someone just keep bothering him. "Who is it this time?!?" He ought to himself. Feeling pissed, he stopped his footsteps, turns around to see who the culprit is.
"You again, you again! Why are you so obsessed with me!?" Joshua yelled. It was, as you guessed it, Leon.
Leon lets out a giggle while his arms are protecting his body from Joshua's random punches with no direction, then said, "Chill, chill. I just want to say that, about the English class' assignment.. I mean, you can be my partner. I give my opinion on your Kafka essay, and you give your opinion on my Nietzsche essay."
Very unexpected coming from Mr. Freak, Joshua was honestly kind of wondering if Leon was just babbling or did he really mean it. He sarcasticly smiled while saying, "Me? Your partner? What a funny sentence, Leon! Well, fortunately I already have my partner, which is THOMAS MULLER. Okay? Thank you, and you're welcome." And then he turns around back to continue his walk to home, but Leon just seems to be so bitchy about the whole situation. He just keeps chasing him and then stopping him again.
"Well, can't you just tell him to find another partner because you're already booked with me?" Leon said while breathing heavily because he's trying to catch up with Joshua.
Joshua stopped again, he then simply replied, "Not interested." And then just continue his walk again like nothing just happened.
Leon just stays freeze on his position, still standing while watching Joshua slowly walking away, leaving him behind.
