Nicolai went his own way after the morning with the principle office, and then he spent his time between classes trying find Desdemona. It was already hard to do since he's never seen her aside from that one night, but he would get distracted by people he would try to help in the hallways. Although, lots of people tended to avoid him. Nic would try to walk up to some people, and they would just look at him then walk away. When he would reached his second class that day he looked to his notes and got quite a few answers correct when the teacher called out questions for the students.
"... Okay, we're going to be doing some new exercising warmups, partner up everyone." The couch said
Nicolai walked up to some people, but he only managed to find a partner with a badger, "I'm Nic, by the way. It's nice to meet with you."
"let's just get this over with," The badger said and looked to his book, "The sooner we do that the sooner we're back at our desks."
"Why does everyone treat me like I'm a bad person?" Nic asked, "What did I do to you?"
The badger looked away and then sighed, "Look I just don't wanna be caught talking with you. You're a mockery at the school, and I don't wanna become one just for being friends with you."
"That's.. sad.." Nic said, "I'm sorry you feel that way. Let's just, talk as little as possible then, and get through this, like you said, okay?"
The badger looked at him surprised but nodded, it didn't end there though.
As the class went into some games, Nic would try to talk with the badger again, "So why am I such a mockery?"
"Have you forgotten about homecoming?" the badger said as he threw a ball across the court, "And I said to not talk to me."
"I am just looking for-" before Nic could say more, a ball was thrown at his head and it knocked him to the ground, "Oww..."
"That's what I'm trying to avoid." The badger said, and then walked off.
Nic tried again to ask his students, but he would either end up hit with something like a ball or people would still keep away from him. They were acting like he was diseased or cursed. "Goodness Graces." he thought to himself, "Do people think of me that low after what happened? They can't just forget I'm a decent guy, right?" It was most of his gym class that he was focused on surviving than getting a decent grade. By the end, they could go back to their lockers. He tried to go up to the badger again, "Hey, so... I know you don't wanna be near me in school, but... what about meeting up some time outside school? maybe just talk somewhere?"
"Maybe..." The badger said, while walking to the gym lockers, "I just don't wanna be seen with you right now."
"I know, not in school, but what about outside school." Nic asked, "I know this one comic store that's pretty neat."
"I'll... Maybe." The badger said and walked away.
"Sweet, see you this weekend." Nic smiled and walked to his locker, "Well. maybe things won't be so bad.." He opened his locker as he started to take off his gym uniform, then he dug into his locker and... couldn't find his pants. he looked inside and pulled out a skirt rather than his regular pants. "... What the heck?" He looked in his clocker and took out the rest of his school uniform. "Where's my pants?" He looked around and didn't see anyone else in there, but his fox ears twitched a bit as he heard a little bit of laughter turning faint. "Great... Just great."
