Backpack slung over his shoulder, Quasar carried a sugar bomb drink in one hand and a bag full of pastries in the other. A bike helmet dangled from his backpack by the straps, bumping into his hip every other step. Quasar grunted, sat down opposite of Vaas, and placed his food on the table.
“Hey, you mind?” he asked, after the fact. He cracked a grin and added, “Everywhere’s full, and it’s rude to eat in the library. Or so I’ve been told. Repeatedly.”
The teenager should’ve been in school. He overloaded himself with all his high school’s AP classes, but the lectures still bored the shit out of him. His teachers learned to leave him well enough alone when he aced every test; he obviously knew the material. And they had no idea how to punish him, anyway, when he cranked out eight thousand word essays in one night.
What could anyone do when next year’s valedictorian got in more fights than everyone else put together? Tolerate him skipping school, that’s what.
He didn’t wait for Vaas’s response. The tall boy folded himself into a ball, resting his heels on the chair next to his butt and placing his chin on one knee. The backpack dropped to the ground, and he yanked out a notebook, a few loose leaf pages, and a pair of overpriced headphones.
Quasar was about to slip on the headphones when he noticed Rhinestone. “Uh. Hey, Dadorito. Yeah, you know this highly respectable man. That’s why I’m sitting here. Because I skip school responsibly!”
