fandomhigh | people suck except when they don't | thursday | period 2

Perpetual lazy ass or not, Loki made damn sure not to be late for his first day of class. Wouldn't want the students they could push him around now even if it was the first class and destined to be a little easier than most other classes.

When the students piled in, Loki was leaning against the desk at the front of room, looking as smug as ever. Once they'd settled, he pushed away from the desk and started talking.

"Welcome to class." See, he was polite? Fuck you, Metatron, he was plenty polite. "I'm Loki and I think some of you have had me before. If you haven't, well, all the better for you, right? If you don't already know, this is People Suck Except When They Don't and if you don't already fucking know that, it's a damn good thing you're here, isn't it?"

It was meant to be a pep talk but with the way Loki tended to talk, it sounded more like an order peppered with curse words. "Now, this first week is always fucking easy, right? We all get to know each other and shit like that. I'm not going to deviate from that template because I wouldn't want to fuck with your heads too much. Brief overview of the class, though. Here, we're going to learn how to deal with all types of people. Your boyfriend or girlfriend, your lover, your other teachers, your parents, authority figures, the annoying fucker on the bus who smells, the person who won't stop staring at you and everything in between. If you don't think I'm qualified for that well, then you're fucking wrong. I've been around for a fucking long time. Ask anyone in here that knows.

He was pretty sure there were a few people in here who knew what he actually was. If he got motivated, maybe he'd even tell people. "But, we'll get to that. For now, introductions. Tell me your name, age, and then label yourself. Yes, label yourself. For instance, I'd be Loki, I'm a lot fucking older than all of you and I'm a smug motherfucker. Easy, right? Oh, and I'll be randomly choosing two of you during this to be my TA's. Better make 'em good. Now, it's your turn. Go."

"I could make up some bowling scores for you?" he offered, ever one to be helpful. Loki seemed so disappointed he wasn't like that, after all.

"If that would help."

Laughing, Loki said, "Sure, let's hear five bowling scores. We'll pretend you're a bowling score savant."

"Right. One twenty, sixty four, seventy three, one fourteen..." Chuck paused, trying to scrounge up a little more of his bowling knowledge (which was limited, at best) to make sure he wasn't making this up too badly.

"--And ten. Guy got a strike and gutter-balled all the rest. Sudden case of... bowling fright." Because that made sense. "Or just a fluke the first time, I guess."

"That last one would be about my score," Loki said, snickering. "I fucking suck at bowling. Thanks for giving that a go. I won't make you do it again, promise. I'll take your word on the nerd part."

"I'd appreciate that." Really. He would. Making things up on the spot wasn't exactly Chuck's forte.

Loki was really just lucky he hadn't decided the guy failed at bowling due to a spastic colon.
