Chapter 2 - Test and Resolve

"So---Sorry.... Hahah.... Do you really think they are interested in you or anything? They are just using you as a free convenient tutor" Zazm kept laughing in whole heartily way.

"Atleast, I have female interaction. Tell me, when was the last time you actually had a conversation with a women? And by a conversation, I mean talking about something for a few minutes."

From a normal person's perspective it just felt like a normal statement or rather a question. But from Zazm's perspective, it felt like he had just been shot in the place where it hurts.

Drinnnngggggg

"Oh... Looks like it's time for the test. Let's hurry up." Zazm inwardly sighed and started to leave for class leaving Jahanox behind.

Zazm entered the classroom and it was filled with noises of laughter of everyone having fun.

Zazm exactly wasn't best with noise, "They are loud as always", he enjoyed being alone and preferred if people didn't bugged him.

That's why he had less friends and he skipped classes. He started walking towards his seat which was in the back at the corner. He pulled out his seat and just as he sat down, he got surrounded by a few figures.

"Yoo Zazm, you mind helping us with the test?" The first boy asked Zazm while clapping his hands together. The other figure continued after him.

"Yeah you help us in Maths and Physics, and we will help you in other subjects... How does that sound?" The second figure asked Zazm with a curious tone.

"You say that before every test and yet, you dumb idiots only pass the subjects, I let you copy from."

Zazm sighed as he saw them looking at him like puppies who wanted something. He had seen them do this before, but it's fun everytime.

"And also why do you always come to me. There is Jahanox, class president and a few other students that have far better grades then me."

The third figure who stood beside Zazm looked at him, "Well, no one gets as good scores as you in physics and maths. You always are on top in those subjects and as for why we come for you."

The third figure gestured a bow before Zazm, "Because, Sir Zazm. No one is as generous as you. They never let us copy or anything."

Listening to their conversations were some other students that looked at them. And one of those students approached them. It was a female student with a badge across her shirt.

"Absolutely Not. If you tried to cheat, I'll inform the teacher." The girl said her tone stern and serious.

"Oh come on, class president. You said we can copy from anyone other than you, so what's the problem." The first boy spoke while dropping his hands down in disappointment.

The class president looked at Zazm with a serious expression. She walked towards him

"And you, don't keep them relying on you. Let them study for themselves. If you have time to let others copy. You should use it to focus on other subjects. Because you won't get promoted with only two subjects."

Zazm looked at her with the same nonchalant smile, "Come-on, I can do whatever I want and besides aren't you just jealouse you can't beat me in these subjects?" Zazm's tone was filled with amusement.

"You can't beat Jahanox in other subjects and I take the win here. So don't be jealous dear class president." He leaned on his chair putting his legs on the desk.

Before the class president could say anything else another girl, Emilia came infront, "You know isn't it weird that you always get perfect scores when it comes to maths and physics but you barely manages to pass other subjects?"

She put her hand on her chin trying to figure out why.

Her question for a second made the entire class pause. 'That's exactly why, I don't like these people. Can't they just mind their own fucking business?'

"Well, I don't like those subjects and I always skip their classes aswell. So that's all, I love physics and maths." Zazm said leaning even more on his chair with that same nonchalant attitude.

Emilia seemed surprised at his answer but before she could say anything. The teacher entered the classroom and everyone went to their seats behind him stood the same serious guy who Zazm instantly recognized.

'Ha... This teacher's pet.' he thought as a grin appeared on his face. 'Most people don't even know this but that weirdo wears those glasses to look more intellectual.'

For Zazm irritating his friend and seeing others frustrated was like a joy. He enjoyed teasing others and like to had fun in whatever ways he wanted. It won't be wrong to say his sole existence can become a pain for the other person.

******

The test ended up and Zazm stretched his arms,'Once again it was so simple. I don't even understand why they make us study such easy maths? They should add stuff like caculus or differential equations. Atleast they would be more fun.'

He grabbed his bag and stood up from his seat, he was about to leave the class when a sudden voice stopped him.

"Ah... Zazm. A minute please, could you meet me in the staff room?" The teacher asked Zazm with a slight smile.

"Yes, ofcourse" Zazm left for the staffroom after hearing the teacher. 'I wonder.... What's this about?'

He reached the staff room and went to the work desk of the teacher that called him there, he waited there until the teacher showed up in a few mins.

"Zazm, you're here."

"Yes! May, I know the reason why you've called me here?" He asked his teacher with the same no serious attitude but his voice held respect.

"I wanted to talk to you about your grades. As you know you get pretty good grades when it comes maths and physics. As for the other subjects" the teacher paused for a second before continuing.

"You barely pass them. You even wrote weird things in your exam papers and, you even skip classes. If you keep doing that you won't get into a good college.

Your friend Jahanox, he is a good student, he is at the top of his class. I know you aren't like him and neither am I comparing you to him. You always get higher grade then him and you are far athletic and popular.

But you have to understand, all subjects are important, your sports and books on one side but this is also important."

The lecture continued for about 30 mins before Zazm apologized and assured him that he will work hard. "That was tiring. I think I should really focus on other stuff now."

"Ok! I'll study history today" Zazm spoke in a loud voice and his tone was filled with determination. With new resolve to study he left the school building.
