When Mikey gets to Algebra, the first thing he sees is a guy with tattoos. He's short, and older, and he's standing near the front of the class with who Mikey assumes is the teacher.
Mikey takes a seat near the back and the teacher introduces himself and the tattooed guy. Mr. Brennan begins the class and Mr. Schechter cuts in. “You all can call me Brian,” he says even though Mr. Brennan gives him a Look.
Brian is gorgeous. Mikey notices every dude these days, and a good many of them are cute. But there's something about Brian that makes Mikey's stomach flip. Maybe it's just hormones – they've been acting up pretty steadily for the past year. Guys are hot. And Mikey thinks about sex constantly. He doesn't necessarily do anything about it, but his spank bank is pretty full.
Class mostly consists of making sure everyone has a textbook and a syllabus for the semester, and then Mr. Brennan sits down at his desk with his laptop and ignores the students for the last half hour of class.
Brian, on the other end of the spectrum, is making his way through the classroom, making chit chat.
When he gets to Mikey's desk, Mikey checks him out up close. He's small and the tattoos are even more vibrant up close.
“Hey, what's your name?” Brian asks.
“Mikey Way,” Mikey says, then, “How old are you?” Just so he knows.
Brian laughs, softly so not to disturb the other kids who are talking, and answers, “Twenty. I'm in this teaching program at the community college that gives us credit for helping out local teachers.”
Mikey's never heard of such a thing; it must be a new program. “So you want to be a teacher?”
“I think I'll be good at it,” Brian says.
“Math, or did you get stuck here by mistake?” Mikey asks, sincerely curious. Why anyone would want to teach teenagers Algebra was beyond him.
“Yeah, math. It's just what I'm good at.”
Mikey wonders if he's got pi tattooed somewhere on his body. He bites his lip, thinking about hot tattooed skin and wishing his hormones weren't quite so overactive.
The bell rings, and Mikey shoves his Algebra book into his bag.
