Pudge walked into the classroom, and sat down at a desk. He hated being the new kid. Running a hand through his hair, he looked around the room, and saw a couple of kids on their phones, some propping themselves up only by a hand, eyelids falling slowly.
"Fuck." He whispered to himself. "Fucking fuck." He was never gonna make friends this way, but who the hell really cared? He reached into his bag, and grabbed the large leather bound book out of it. H cracked it open to a random page, and started reading. This was where he felt at home.

Lark sauntered into the room, not looking forward to this. It was one thing to move classes, but to move to another school entirely was amazingly annoying and Lark was going to complain every second. At least inside her head.
Sitting at an empty desk next to a dorky looking guy who was reading, Lark sighed. Sure, English was her favourite subject, but she'd rather be learning it at home. Where everyone hated her. Nice.
Lark almost took out her phone to text someone when - you guessed it - she realised she didn't have any friends. Not that she was that keen on making them either.

Pudge heard a loud sigh come from the girl next to him, and he looked up. She was attractive, to say the least. But she wad that snooty look about her. What the hell, he was gonna say hi. After all, she was the only person in the room besides him who wasn't drooling or texting.
He cleared his throat. "Hi, uh- I'm Miles." He stuck out his hand. "People call me Pudge, though. Y'know. because I'm skinny." he swallowed, "S'posed to be funny, I guess."

Lark had the sneaking suspicion that someone was talking to her. As she turned around, she was taken aback by the boy next to her. Although he had just been reading, the boy was holding up a hand in order for her to shake it.
"Pudge?" Lark asked, disbelieving. "Oh, you've got to be kidding me." she muttered, more to herself than him. Lark then looked up at Pudge and grimiled (grimace/smile - past tense). "It's not that funny. Miles suits you better." she said, delicately shaking his hand.
"I'm Lark." she introduced, before looking around. Nope, everyone was already preoccupied with being boring. Guess she'd have to stick with talking to Pudge. Great.

Pudge's suspicions that she was stuck up were confirmed as she responded to his greeting. "'Fraid not," he shrugged, holding back laughter at the horrendous sort of smile she'd done. Even on a pretty face it looked silly. "Not that funny, implying that it is indeed sort of funny." He let her hand go, and watched as the girl looked around the room, probably to see if anyone else was available.
"Lark?" He raised his eyebrows, "That's unique. Like the bird, right?"

Lark glared at him, knowing he was laughing at her, knowing that there wasn't anything else to laugh about. As she appeared not to care, a coil of self-doubt settled in her stomach. "No, not that funny implying that you think it's funny when in all actuality, it's rather gay." she said, shrugging.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I stutter?" she asked, still a bit on edge from him laughing at her. "But I guess so. I really don't know. You'd have to ask my parents."

Pudge raised his eyebrows. He could almost physically feel the cold coming from her stare at him. Damn. "Ah, gay. I see. Do you have any nicknames? Maybe one like mine? Like people call you Sweetie?" He lowered his voice, "Since you're obviously anything but." He looked back down at his book for a moment.
Pudge was honestly taken aback by her tone and overall rude attitude. "Why are you so rude?" He chuckled, "Especially since we just met?"

"Oh, I have nicknames. They include Slut, Bitch, Whore, Homewrecker... and plenty others." she said, ticking them off her fingers. She gave Pudge a 'really bitch? really?' look. "Just because you lower your voice doesn't mean I can't hear you." she said. A small part of her wondered what he was reading, but she wasn't going to ask. Why should she?
"Well, why should I be nice? Why should I conform into this happy go-lucky droid? Why should I have to watch what I say to avoid hurting the feelings of others. Everyone says to be yourself, but as soon as I'm myself, I get people jumping down my throat about being a bitch." she said, smirk finishing off her speech.
