(Author's Note: I had a slightly different idea for BIff I wanted to try.)
Karyn took her seat in history class and waited along with her fellow classmates for the teacher to arrive. She didn’t have to wait too long as their teacher, Mr. Lambert, entered the classroom with a few other students who were hurrying to their seats trying not to be late.
“Good morning, class,” Mr. Lambert began. He started to go through the plan for the lesson but was interrupted by two of his pupils making their usual late entrance. Only this entrance wasn’t quite as normal.
Biff entered the room first, ahead of Sarah, walking fast. “Leave me alone...” Biff Meadows, the school quarterback, whined at his girlfriend, Sarah McMillan. Karyn looked up briefly and then returned to her doodling. Sarah and Biff had more drama than anyone else in the school. It was only spring and they had already broken up twice. So to Karyn, this wasn’t anything new.
"Biff, wait up...what's wrong?" Sarah asked, sounding confused and actually concerned.
"There's nothing wrong with me," Biff said. ""Why don't you just leave me alone?"
Sarah looked surprised. "What are YOU talking about?"
Mr. Lambert took this as his cue to step in. He coughed and stepped toward the couple. “That’s enough, both of you! This isn't some kind of TV drama. Bad enough you are late, but do you have to disrupt the whole class?”
Biff looked at Mr. Lambert. "It isn't me, Mr. Lambert. She came up to me and wrapped her arm around me and calling me babe...I told her to stop...but she wouldn't," sounding a bit annoyed and uncomfortable, as if Sarah was some crazy stalker.
"Mr. Meadows...are you feeling all right?"
"Yes," he said, confused.
"Mr. Meadows, you and Miss McMillan are both students in this class. I am not sure what is going on between you two, but that's hardly an excuse for being late. Now, if you can just behave for 45 minutes, I would appreciate it."
Biff sat down, but not in his usual seat next to Sarah, but farther away, rubbing his head gently. Sarah looked confused and hurt, clearly not used to the cold shoulder, much less from her boyfriend, and took her usual seat. Karyn watched this exchange with amazement. Could this be considered interesting enough to be related to Jon’s wish...or perhaps there was just trouble in paradise?
