Hey everyone, new readers and those who've read my previous story. I know it's been a while, but I want to thank everyone who's read my story and reviewed/favorited/alerted on it while I was writing it, and even after it. And I guess that's the reason why I'm here again. I'm out of practice, but I'd love to get back into writing, and hope that I can create another enjoyable story.

So just let me know what y'all think!

Laugh, and the class laughs with you. But you stay after school alone.

I'm sure we've all met that one person. The Class Clown. Maybe it was in an actual class, maybe it was in real life, but we all know their type enough to recognize them on sight.

Typically they present with a shit-eating grin and an easy atmosphere about them. They're in the midst of a group of people, all of whom are typically laughing at whatever they said. It's contagious really. If you come close to them, you'll find yourself laughing alongside them.

But when you go home, you'd be hard put to describe exactly what was so funny about them. You'd come to the conclusion that they themselves were just a funny person, and keep going back for the laughs.

Then you'd come to the end of your acquaintance, and go your separate ways. Every now and again, you might think back and laugh at the memory of them, and then wonder what became of them. What did they end up doing?

Sometimes you might run into them again. But the world has grown into a big place. Chances are you might not. And even if you do, chances are against you recognizing them, simply because you don't plan to.

So yeah, Aster remembers one Jackson Overland, the class clown of Guardian High.

He just never connected him with the comedic stunt actor Jack Frost.

Not until he saw him in person that is.

And only because the joke Jackson was telling was one that made a fool of Aster himself.

The camera crew was practically wetting themselves laughing as Jackson continued the story, talking loudly, hands waving about like he could take flight any moment.

"And then!" the young man was saying, "Then this football player slammed his hands on top of his desk, turned around, and opened his mouth to yell at me! Only for our old teacher to FINALLY pay attention and shout at him to sit down!"

They all practically fell over laughing. And that was when Aster made his move, grabbing the smaller man by the back of his shirt, and lifting him up out of his seat.

The camera crew stopped laughing as they stared at the large Australian man, gulping. But Jackson only raised his hand to his chin in an exaggerated expression of thinking.

"Hmmm," he said thoughtfully, "Give me a second, I gotta run down the list…no…no, not him either….I think she forgave me for that…and no, no…aHA!" And he twisted his head around with the biggest shit-eating grin on his face that Aster had ever seen. "Hey there, ya big kangaroo!"

Aster promptly dropped him. But that didn't faze the other actor, who merely bounced on the balls of his feet, launching himself into a forward flip (letting his toes just NEARLY brush by the Australian's nose - an accident of COURSE). He stuck the landing, hands in the air, like an Olympic gymnast. I move that surely would have gotten him applause if there wasn't an angry Australian actor looming over him. But Jackson only brushed it off.

"Funny seeing you again," he said, twisting on his heel to face his old classmate, "It's been, what, forever?"

Aster only rolled his eyes and walked away, half-expecting the other man to follow him.

Imagine his surprise when he didn't. Aster was tempted to look back, but decided against it.

No need to encourage the guy.
