“... Why are you bugging me? Why do you want to know?” Now that the spot in front of him was cleaned, Izzy stood up wiping his hands on a clean rag. “I know you said you ‘care about everyone’ but that’s bull crap and you know it. So why are you still trying to bug me?” Izzy didn’t seem angry or irritated, just genuinely curious. He really, really didn’t care if Toby was done or not with his cleaning though. His spot was cleaned and gunkless, and he was going to dip out before his phone started blasting with texts from his mom. ...Though... He could spare a moment or two looking at Toby, wondering if the kid was going to answer or not.

"It's not bullcrap," Toby said, somewhat defensively, "I really do. And I was just curious. You're new, I thought maybe we could be friends." He shrugged, a somewhat defeated sort of shrug. "I understand if you don't wanna be, though." He looked at what remained of the mess. "I can finish this," he said with a nod. "It'll be fine." Tough guy exterior or not, Izzy didn't seem all that great at hiding his tendency to care about stuff...at least, that was Toby's impression.

Ugh.... Ugh... Izzy didn’t want to smile at Toby. He was a dumb kid who was stupidly sincere and there was something nice about it that he couldn’t help the half smile that showed up on his face. “If you say so, Toby. I don’t know about friends but... Atleast next time we have class, I won’t sabotage the experiment, not on purpose anyway.” Before the other kid could say anything, he put away that wrap of his and grabbed his bag, “Guess I owe you one, maybe. Next time or something.”

Toby’s eyebrows both raised at the mention of not sabotaging on purpose, although before he figured out what to say, Izzy was already retreating. “Well, that explains that, I guess,” he muttered, shaking his head. “I’ll expect that favor some time. But I’ll finish up here. Have fun with your job...whatever it is.” He gave a small wave.

“Awww, cheer up, Mr. Smiley. Atleast you get to go home after this and not work your a** off.” After wiping his hand on his pants, he reached out and gave that blondie a pat on his head, before heading out. “See you tomorrow, I guess.”

Toby laughed. He couldn’t help it, really. It was just such an unexpected end to the conversation. “Yeah, see you tomorrow,” he said, and gave Izzy a little wave. It would only take a few more minutes before he finished up the cleanup, then he, too, departed, wishing the chemistry teacher a good day.
