merlin's little joke ((cassie))

Lazar looked quite foolish with the clip-on tie he wore over his standard attire of a basic long-sleeved tee-shirt and jeans; he wasn't going to wear it instead of his house tie when in uniform, so it had to wait until classes were done for the day. There were a few snickers from some of his peers in the study group as the tie absolutely dwarfed his torso, but he felt okay in it. He didn't look so dorky for once. Now that he and Wade were somewhat friendly, his loser status had to have disappeared, somewhat.

The OWLs were stressing him out, especially since his Easter holiday was going to be consumed by studying for it. Lazar stared down at his potions textbook and closed it as he got up from the table to head out of the study room. He still needed to get flowers for the formal! Why was it so hard to be a 15 year old boy?

With his luck, it seemed like the entire study room was clamoring to leave all at once. He began trying to push himself through the crowd.

"Eh-ex-cuh-cuse me, puh-puh-please," he whimpered slightly as his voice cracked.
