When The Boy With the Book started talking about Michelangelo, Mina was pleasantly surprised. [i]It was a good idea to pair up with him after all. [/i] She nearly jumped out of her seat when he slammed his hands on the desk. [i]He noticed, too? I didn't know he was [b]that[/b] observant.[/i]

Mina ignored the boy who came up to them, asking if he could join the group. She started a new doodle on her page, and continued to ignore him. The Boy With the Book will deal with him if he wants to. For the rest of class, she repeated the process of doodling and ripping out the page. She didn't need to listen, as she already knew all of the stuff. 

She looked up at the clock. [i]Class is over.[/i] Without hearing if the boy was in her group or not, she packed up her things and left the class. The next class was Chemistry, and Mina was pretty confident about her test. As soon as she reached the classroom, she chose the same seat she had for History, the front left-hand corner. There was a sub today, Om, not that she really cared. Subs really irritated her, for they never know anything. The girl who could sign seemed interesting to Mina. [i]Is she not able to talk?[/i] The Signing Girl reminded her of [i]The Silence of Bonaventure Arrow.[/i] Mina quickly realized that she was signing to another boy. She was pretty sure The Signing Boy could talk, but the fact that he could sign intrigued her. [i]Ah, I can't think about this now. I have a test to worry about.[/i]

When she received the test paper, she speeded through the whole thing, taking less than ten minutes. Mina took her time to check if everything was correct. This usually lasted for twenty more minutes, but she felt adventurous this day and handed in the paper earlier than usual. She pulled her doodling notebook out and started to draw.

"Hey! What do you think you're doing?!" [i]Oh.[/i] She had forgotten that subs do not let her doodle after tests.

"Doodling in my notebook," Mina replied. 

"Are you allowed to do that?" Om asked. She waited for other students to back her up, but she heard nothing. [i]What was I waiting for? They never back me up.[/i]

"Yes, I am."

Om had a disgusted look on his face, but she didn't care. [i]Subs really do suck.[/i]
