Then there was that question, it was a bit of a stupid question wasn't it? He wasn't sure why he disliked it so much, maybe because it seemed condescending, maybe because the Professor already seemed to dislike him so why not return the feeling? Or maybe it was just the fact that he had already been on edge a lot lately. But this question rubbed him the wrong way. And he was about to do something dumb as usual. "Professor, this question seems a bit silly, doesn't it? It's far too open ended and there's not really a way to answer it without feeling stupid, unless that's your goal. It's like asking people to tell you anything they know about water." He raised an eyebrow and then as an afterthought he wondered where that came from? Like what? Why was he just openly RUDE to a PROFESSOR!? He was sure this particular professor wouldn't overlook it. Quote:

"Hey--I won't be any good either--and I'm like--a million years old--" she smirked and patted his back. She would so be looking out for him in here.
NO ONE HURT ARCHIE.
Nope.
Eden had her EYES on all the meanies--Ahem, Alexa.
OY. Connor was here WHOOH. She smiled and was so happy to have friends in this class! She nudged him playfully and just...looked between the two. "Okay..Connor, this is Archie--he's in my house. He's cool." she said, you know, because Connor and Eden were TOTALLY the coolest older kids ever. She also turned to Layla, too, and eyed the blonde. "This is Archie, Layla." And Archie heard the girl's name, right? RIGHT.
Okay. Done with intro's. Was Professor Walton looking her way? Should she hide? HEr cheeks were still flushed--
CONNOR. She growled in his direction and kicked him under the table--SHOVE IT, GRYFFINDOR.
So he was talking back--THIS WAS GOOD AH. Eden just smiled lazily and rested her chin on her hand and stared....a bit before answering..."Well I'm sure it will be a good day, professor--" Yeah. She blinked a lot before realizing she had been in a TRANCE.
Nooooo Eden couldn't afford another crush--but this class. OH she would trying SO hard in this class. What did she know about plants? WELL she raised her hand quickly, still blushing like mad, and tried her best to answer in a SMART way. "Plants are mostly green--they use the sun--you know, as food--do that photosynthesis thing--and they help make oxygen." RIght? Eden's plant knowledge was limited, Also, she wasn't even sure if ALL plants were like this. Were magical plants like this? "And flowers are pretty." That surely counted, right? "And smell nice." Why was she still talking? Layla’s attention was drawn to the pair that had joined her, Eden and Connor. She was about to make a comment about them always being together in lessons but she was distracted by the blushy look that Eden had on her cheeks. “How do you know she’s not blushing for you?” she whispered to Connor just before the hot Professor had started the lesson. Then Eden decided to introduce her to some kid and the Blonde offered him a half-hearted smile in return for the introduction. At least she made an effort but she had stopped talking, not wanting to interrupt. It wasn’t that she cared much about the plants, she was far more interested in that face of his.
Not that anyone would know considering the straight faced ‘I’m not interested in this lesson’ look she was currently sporting. The usual look in lessons. She was at school, there were no requirements to look like you were having fun and the fifteen-year-old wouldn’t look like she was even if she was asked.
As for the question it was far too generalised to offer a specific answer and Layla wracked her brains for something that wasn’t as dull as some people were sprouting out. Something that would actually impress perhaps? Something that wasn’t as dreadful as Eden’s little monologue about how plants were green..
She raised her hand. “Humans and certain species of plant share 50% of their DNA. Which basically means we are practically related to a banana.” And some of these students certainly proved that fact to be correct. How was THAT for interesting hmm? She was glad that biology had led to something at this school because everything else she knew was just flying out the window.
And in relation to Connor’s answer? Jealous, much?
