Thomas fiddled with his music player absentmindedly, thoughts still back in a smoke filled club some fifty miles from the school. He had fallen in love with the jazz music there and had been up until the early hours of the morning pulling songs off the net for 'research'. Even now, the beginnings of a song were being pulled together, and he found himself humming the chorus as he walked down the hall to his classroom. With the exceptions of music and gym, he had never been a particularly good student and that had hurt his position, some. Thom found it... difficult, to say the least, to put any effort into something he didn't care about. Of course, there was some necessary evils you absolutely couldn't avoid. Pulling the earbuds out, he wrapped them around the music player and shoved open the classroom door just in time to catch the Joker asskissing. Sighing heavily, he approached the boy, leaning over slightly to look him in the eye.
"Jeez, Ollie, pucker up a little more, why don'tcha?"
Reaching over, he ruffled the boy's hair, chuckling as he turned away. Yeah, alright, he was being an a*****e but the Joker made it
way too easy. Spreading his arms wide, he grinned widely.
"Good morning my fellow learners! Your Highness, good to see you. My Queen, radiant as always. Annnnd Ace... deafening as usual, I see."
Shaking his head sadly, Thom tutted the boy who was probably completely unaware of his presence much less his mocking. Picking out his desk, he dropped heavily into the chair with a sigh.
"Your Highness, have you considered ordering him to lose the 'phones? You know, in interest of his hearing? And ours?"
