Boor quickly hid his phone behind his pencil case and looked at the school board to act like he was paying attention. The sound of the notification did make some students aware that he was using his phone during class. Those 'some' students cackled and giggled and it was slowly getting on his nerves.
Childish, wasn't it, Boor?
But if it was Jibbble, he wouldn't mind. He wouldn't even mind getting sent to the principal if the message was from Jibbble.
He clicked on it but it opened WhatsApp instead, making him sigh dramatically.

Boor: ….
Boor: pft.
Mr.Wrenshaw: "Something funny, Boor?"
Boor: "huh? no-"
Mr Wrenshaw: "how about sharing the joke with the whole class?"

Abia entered Boon's room with a bowl of peeled onions.
"Do you want to hear some news?"
She asked as she put the bowl on the window sill.
Boon sniffed the bowl closely, weirded out of how he couldn't smell the scent.
"Are those for eating or against the bacteria?"
Abia: "no, why would i put them on the window sill?"
Boon: "Right. What news?"
Abia sat down beside him but Boon scooted away. She feigned mock offense and exclaimed, 'How could you behave like this towards your own mother?' causing Boon to panic momentarily.
Boon: "I don't want you to catch my cold!-"
Abia: "Hahahah!"
Boon: "Oh.. Hahah.."
Abia: "Anyway! About the cat"
Boon: "Mm? What about it?"
Boon's mother had contacted a woman who had an online page for her shelter. One day they decided to adopt one of these cats, but it was never clear when the cat would arrive until Abia told Boon
"The woman wrote to me that it would arrive in about three days"
'Three days?
only three days until we have a new, adorable family member?'
Boor hoped to quickly buy a drink from the vending machine before the next hour began, he counted his coins and cursed quietly when he realized that he didn't have enough pocket money to buy anything at all. When he looked ahead, he saw a rather timid little boy.
'Must be one of the middle school kids'
After all, it was a unified school.
He caught his breath and approached him, his hand on the boy's shoulder.
"Hey, what's your name?"
He flinched and stuttered a little: "M.. Miro.."
"Can you lend me a little money, Miro? I'll give it back to you, I promise."
"I'm sorry… I don't have any…"
"Don't be stupid, what are you queuing for if you're not there to buy something?!"
Boor interrupted the poor boy a second time when he was about to say something: "You would buy something yourself and not me? Even if I ask you so nicely?"
Miro didn't resist when Boor reached into his pocket and felt his wallet: "Really, how greedy can you be?" Boor added with a smile when he noticed that there was enough money for two things.
He bought himself a drink and a Mentos pack with a stupid grin, as if he was proud of what he had done or wanted to continue doing in the future.
"See you, Miro"
Boor and his friend Ingar were standing in the hallways at school. His friend Ingar aka GloriousgGamer only talked about the new arrival of several episodes of his favorite show called 'Tussle of Traits'.
The energetic boy rambled, "Wow, that show 'Tussle of Traits' was SO intense! I was SOBBING when that Xaene got killed off! It was crazy! Did you see it, Boor?"
Boor: "well yeah but i didn't really understand the scene"
Ingar: "Didn't understand the scene? What do you mean, it was so clear!"
Boor: "I don't know, I guess it just didn't register with me. It was a bit of a blur."
Ingar: "You weren't paying attention, were you? Come on, it was such an emotional scene!"
Boor scratched his head, not knowing how to respond but Ingar continued,
"Everyone's going crazy over it because it's so good, man! It's got cool fights, and the characters are all super interesting."
Boor: "…Right."
Ingar: "But whatever, I bet you're too cool to care about anything anyway."
Boor: "Hey!-"
Ingar: "Ha! I got you to react, didn't I?"
Boor, rolling his eyes: "Whatever."
Ingar: "You're so easy to mess with, Boor. Just admit it, you actually do like the show!"
Boor: "Never said i didn't like it"
Ingar: "Well, you haven't said you did, either."
Boor sighed, finally giving in "Fine. I like the show. Happy?"
as he scrolled through his phone, the sound of Alexandru and Sem's voices caught his attention. He looked up from his phone and saw the two approaching. Without missing a beat, Sem: "What's going on, you two?", and Alexandru, "What's all the commotion about?", adding their own presence to the conversation.
Boor: "Tussle of Traits, Where have you two been?"
Sem: "Oh, the 'Tussle of Traits' show, huh? It's pretty cool, I guess, but definitely not as good as people make it out to be. People are so easy to impress these days."
Alexandru: "Huh. Never heard of it"
All three friends gave a different kind of annoyed reaction towards Alexandru's lie.
Ingar: "Cmon, dude. We've been talking about Tussle of Traits ever since… it got out…Or something!"
Boor: "so… where you been?"
Alexandru: "We got scolded by the teacher again. Bunch of bull. They've got nothing better to do than bother us."
Boor: "Mm. Oh that reminds me; today i met a lil' kid. I didn't even need to use force, i just managed to sweet-talk him to get some money from him. Some easy target"
Ingar: "Sweet-talk? how does that even work?"
Sem: "He's definitely got it from me lol. You just act nice with someone and act like they owe you"
Boor: "Yeah, i was super friendly with him. I even asked his name. Miro or something"
Alexandru: "…"
Sem: "Miro? He goes to this school?"
Boor: "I'm assuming middle school, why?"
Sem: "Miro sounds… familiar. You know a friend of mine has a little brother called Miro"
Boor: "Hm? Who?"
Sem: "You remember Mateo?"
Boor: "Mateo?"
Boor: "Oh."
'Miro is the younger brother of Mateo? It wasn't that bad, i just borrowed some money from him. Mateo would definitely understand, right?'
As if calling his name twice would summon him he appeared behind Sem, greeting him very brother-likely.
"Sem!"
He called with a bright smile etched on his face. The tough, muscular guy was noticeably beaming.
Sem: "You seem to be in a good mood today, Matt"
Mateo: "What gave it away? Its my little brother Miro's birthday today, i gave him sum cash to buy whatever he's cravin' for"
Boor: "…"
Sem: "Oh really? That's it?"
Mateo: "nah, we're going to surprise him with presents later. He's really the cutest! I didn't even give him that much yet he was soo happy"
Sem: "Nice. Tell Miro I wish him a happy birthday"
Mateo: "Aw. I bet he will be happy to hear that. I'm quite busy this week, gotta deal with alotta stuff. I'll text ya when I'm free!"
Sem waved him goodbye as Mateo began walking away, "sure, cya!"
Boor, still frozen: "...."
Ingar: "Oh boy…"
