Bart didn't know why he was taking physics. More pressing than that probably was how he'd ended up in Advanced Placement Physics- what with his skating-by grades. But Mrs. Channing had him for homeroom last year and she said he was very bright and, in her opinion, just needed to be challenged more. So she'd managed to con everyone into getting Bart into AP Physics which, to her credit, he was not failing (but only barely).
At this point in the year, Mrs. Channing was also regretting that decision. It wasn't that Bart was a bad kid but his ADHD was apparent, and she couldn't figure out why his parents or guardian wouldn't take the necessary steps to put the teenager on medication. She had tried to talk to them several times about Bart's inability to focus but had gotten all of nowhere.
That was how Bart ended up without a lab partner this late in the school year. The first two he'd bonded with pretty quickly, so Mrs. Channing had to move them across the room so they wouldn't disturb the rest of the class with their joking around. The last two had requested to be moved, citing that Bart was disturbing them pretty much every second of every class.
So it was with great resignation that Mrs. Channing showed the new student, Jamie Jaime Reyes (not pronounced rays, who knew?), to the only empty seat available at the two-person desks.
"Jaime, this is Bart. Bart, this is Jaime." (Hi-may, get it right, Mrs. Channing!) "He's new to our school and is going to be your new lab partner." She didn't add a plea to behave, she believed strongly in treating teens like adults if you wanted them to act like adults, but that didn't mean it wasn't in her face all the same. "Jaime, just raise your hand if you need anything." Seeing that the new student was fairly settled, she went back to the front of the class.
"Hi. I'm Bart." the redhead whispered so as not to get in trouble again and reached out to shake his new friend's hand.
