Literature Text

"Hej. Hei. Halló. Hey. Hi. Hello." Mathias pokes your cheek with every word. You pretend to not notice your partner as you write the answers to a Chemistry worksheet. Your pencil tip hovers over the paper as you chew on your lower lip, trying to think of the answer. Your foot taps on the floor in boredom, a quiet squeak coming from it every time it touches the floor.

What is the molecular formula of sucrose?
The molecular formula of sucrose is C12H22O11. Your pencil scratches down the formula quickly and carefully, then you double check it in your mind. Mathias gives an extra hard poke on your cheek and you turn to look at him in irritation. "Yes, Matthias? May I help you?" You whisper angrily.

"Of course there is something that needs to be helped!" He says in an obnoxiously loud voice, his Danish accent more prominent than ever. A few of your classmates turn to look back at the two of you, wiggling their eyebrows suggestively. You shake your head quickly to deny everything, hair flying into your face as you do so.

"Keep your voice down!" You flick his forehead, leaving a small red mark.

"Ow, _____! No need to be so violent! You could've asked me much more nicely!" He whines, but lowers his voice. "I got to ask you something after class. It's really important!"

"...Fine. Just do your work until then so that you won't get kicked out of class again. Understand?" You pick up your pencil and turn back to your worksheet, which quickly bores you. You rest your cheek in the palm of your hand while with the other hand, you sketch a picture of your violin, a smile forming on your lips. It sounds really silly, but you are literally in love with it. It's been with you on this journey called 'life', ever since you were little. It was there when you needed someone to comfort you, when you needed to let some feelings out, and when you performed in front of small groups.

People always complimented you on how well you played and your talent, but you know it's the teamwork between you and your violin. They've even suggested that you go to competitions, since your playing was really advanced. You've played in front of the whole school a couple of times- during assembly and concerts- but nobody seemed to notice who you were. You aren't one of those popular "scene" people, but one of those who blend in with the crowd and in the blink of an eye, disappear. 

That was up until yesterday. You've never even thought about being noticed by the 'Nordic 5', an exchange group of Scandinavian boys who quickly became popular in your school community. Sure, you've seen them and exchanged a few words, but still, it was pretty surprising that they actually, legitly noticed you.

The teacher taps a ruler on her desk to get the attention of the class. She announces that the worksheet will be homework to be turned in next week, and that it will be graded. You turn to put your things in your backpack and quickly zip it up. You debate between asking the teacher about a question that was bugging you, or to just leave and figure it out later. The choice is not made by you, but rather, Mathias.

He drags you out of the classroom by the scruff of your uniform collar with one hand, and has your backpack slung over his shoulder. You put your hands over your ears, to block out the sound of giggling in the hallway. "Kudos to Mathias for taking such drastic measures." You think. He drags you into a hallway you've never seen before, and stops in front of an unused classroom. You slap at his hands to make him release his grip on you. He does, and you fall in an ungraceful manner onto the floor. Your butt hits the cold floor with a bump, and the air is knocked out of you for a few seconds. You wheeze and cough until you regain your breath and dust yourself off before glaring at him.

"Welcome to the lair of the Nordic 5! It belongs to me, the King of Northern Europe!" He presents the room with a huge fanfare and gestures.

"Sure." You say, sarcastically. "What's so important that you have to drag me here? What happened to civilized talking?" You put your hands on your hips to have a look of authority and disdain.

He ignores you and opens the door, revealing the rest of the group sitting on chairs around a polished wooden table. "I brought her, guys! I told you I would!" He says.

A short blond with violet eyes stands up to greet you. "Hi, ____! Your playing was fantastic yesterday! My name's Tino, by the way!" He has a genuine smile on his face and you immediately smile back.

"Hej, _____. 'm B'rw'ld." The tall blond that you saw yesterday speaks without standing. Looking up, you see that you're being appraised by piercing blue-green eyes. You wave a little warily at him.

"This is Lukas and Emil, ____!" Mathias shoves you in their direction. Stumbling from the push, a hand settles on your shoulder before you faceplant on the ground.

"Pleasure to meet you, but haven't I seen you before?" A low, monotone voice asks, and you find that you are face to face with Lukas, his hand still on your shoulder.

"Maybe," you answer. "It depends on where exactly, though." You turn away from him, to look at the figure sitting at the edge of the table. "And you must be Emil?" Emil gives no answer, except for a slight nod.

"And the final question is, why am I here?" You ask, arms flung out in exasperation.

"Mathias wants you to teach him how to play violin." Lukas says in a bored tone, while the rest of the group turn and look at him with disbelief and amusement. His finger traces the tabletop, while you look around in confusion.

"Lukas! That's not true! You want to learn, not me! I brought her here so that you could ask her yourself, not for you to substitute me in!" Mathias says, shocked. "Go on, ask her!" The group looks on with interest, hiding the sound of snickering behind their hands.

His finger continues tracing the wood, making swirling patterns. He lets out a dramatic sigh and says, "_____, can you please teach me how to play violin? I would like to learn from you."

Mathias lets out a loud guffaw and congratulates his friend by slapping him on the back. "See, Lukas? This is how you talk to girls! You have to take the initiative or-"

"Hold kjeft, Mathias!"

"So, that's a 'yes', right?"
