She walked into the building alone, searching for her classroom. Well, she still was new and she had a lame sense of direction. She managed to find it and walked inside, a little surprised that she was one of the first to arrive Biology aka boredom.
She sighed as she walked to her place and sat there, resting her head over her arms. Soon, the other students started to arrive and the room was filled with chatter. Some of them still glanced at her, probably because she was new... or just because she didn't share their enthusiasm.
What a great class this one would be...

Nathan was the second person to arrive, right on the time. He took a seat as far from Mack as he could, and quietly sat down. People glanced at him as well since it was his first day of class, but no one said anything. A couple of girls had already discovered that he was polite, but not all that interested, and everyone else had deemed him unapproachable. He glanced over at Mack while her head was down, wondering how sore she was from the night before.

Someone was trying to make small talk with her. She noticed that because there was a person standing next to her table. She rose her eyes to see a boy smilling down at her. She sat straigh and her back protested 'Ok Mack, be polite' she told herself and smiled "yes?" she asked "Hi... hum, your the new girl right?" 'No, I'm the unlucky new girl'
"Yes I am. Mackenzie Jones and you are?"
"Michael Sanders" She looked around noticing most people were taking seats and she noticed Nathan 'Another one' she thought since she was sure he must be a new student too
"It's a pleasure Michael. But if you don't have any important business to talk with me I would suggest you take a seat cause the teacher is in. And if you don't like to seat, there's more new students you can greet" she replied coldly tilting her head in Nathan's direction 'ups, there goes the politness' she thought as the boy walked to his seat like he'd been struck by something on the face.

Sitting at a table behind Mack's, Nathan smirked at the encounter. He looked down, trying to suppress the smirk before someone noticed, not that it would do anything. They would probably find him weirded than they already did. It wasn't just Mack's curtness that amused him, it was also her thoughts before the attempted conversation. He lowered his golden eyes to his text book, waiting for the lesson to begin as he continued smirking slightly, thinking about "the new girl".

She turned around in her seat to face Nathan "Sorry if I was trying to pass mr polite to you, but I don't like small talk. I'm Mack"
The teacher was talking about genetics, more exactly about mutations. She sighed, she already new it... Biology was one of her favourite subjects, but she found it quite annoying, mostly because the teacher spent too much time explaining simple things. At least it was what it seemed her.
'Come on... we already know that, move to something else'

Nathan looked up at her, not expecting her to turn around like she did. "I don't think he's interested in me anyway." He replied with a slight smile. "I'm Nathan." He added before she busied herself with her notebook. He glanced down towards it, wondering what she was doodling or drawing. He, too, was bored by the teacher's lesson, which he already knew.

'Of course he wasn't. He's probably jealous of him' she thought glancing to a couple of girls staring at Nathan with a dreamy look. 'Yup, maturity is exactly what this people have' she added with a eye roll.
She busied herself doddling some skulls 'skulls Mack? Really?' she asked herself not knowing that the teacher had aproached her desk. "Miss Jones. Since your so busy with your little art work I wanted you to explain the class what Chromosomal crossover is"
She looked a tad surprised 'Ah crap. Chromosomal crossover... I know it's somewhere inside here. Let's see... oh right'
"Chromosomal crossover is the process by which two chromosomes pair up and exchange sections of their DNA. This often occurs during prophase 1 of meiosis in a process called synapsis. Synapsis begins before the synaptonemal complex develops, and is not completed until near the end of prophase 1. Crossover usually occurs when matching regions on matching chromosomes break and then reconnect to the other chromosome. The result of this process is an exchange of genes, called genetic recombination. Chromosomal crossovers also occur in asexual organisms and in somatic cells, since they are important in some forms of DNA repair." She said with a smile "Am I right mr Collins?"
He took the piece of paper from her "Yes... yes you are" he said before walking back to the front of the class. Leaving a outraged looking Mack behind 'My draw... My little draw. He was too young to die'

Nathan had returned his attention back to the text book with another smile before the teacher came over. He heard him approaching and looked up to see him stopped at Mack's desk, and she was oblivious until it was too late. He waited to see what smart reply she had for him, but it surprisingly came in the form of the correct answer. Then he thought it wasn't so surprising. It explained why she was doodling, out of boredom. As the stunned Mr. Collins resumed his lesson, he smirked slightly at Mack's back.

She turned around again, narrowing her eyes at is smirk "What's so funny?" 'Okay, so that dreamy look they were giving him was called for. He's cute'

Nathan just smirked more at her apparent annoyance and her thought. "Nothing. Can I help you?"

Mack rolled her eyes at the comment 'It must be something about the y chromossome. They allways give the same answer' "Not unless you happen to have a way to make Mr Collins stop teaching like we have brain damage" she said 'or maybe give him brain damage' she added mentaly.

Nathan was tempted to laugh at her thought, but he continued to smirk instead, clearly amused by her. "I don't think his teaching is the problem. You seem to know your biology rather well. Maybe this class is the problem."

"Maybe it is. But it's one of the few things I actually enjoy. And shifting to an advanced class would be a problem. It would mean I'd have to live to someonelse's expectations. Not to mention I would stand out, and that's the last thing I need" she told him

"Why would you have to live up to someone else's expectations just because you're in an advanced class?" Nathan asked curiously, looking at her with his golden eyes. He understood not wanting to stand out. That's why he didn't take advanced classes.

A sad smile curved Mack's lips as she stared back into his eyes "People would want me to be more. To be something - someone I'm not" she sighed "I couldn't live like that" 'More like, couldn't live like that again right Mack?'
"But who could?" she added to herself
