Melanie rolled her eyes, this class was so boring and it was the last thing she wanted to be doing right now. Looking at the clock she realized that she still had 20 minutes left before she could go for a ride. She began to daydream about riding Trikova but was brought back to reality when she heard, "Hod op, Melaine, komba hi beja." (Stop, Melaine, come back please)
Melanie turned her attention back to Niylah, what had her teacher been saying? "Moba, Seda?" (I'm sorry, Teacher) Niylah gave her a look that said she was unimpressed. "We are learning about the unrest when Skaikru arrived on Earth. You need to stay with us ok, taim yu drag raun, taim yu ge ban au." (If you fall behind, you get left behind)
Melanie nodded and tried to pay attention to the rest of the lesson. At the end of class the students grabbed their bags and left the class. Melanie was walking out when she heard a girl behind her say, "She's right you know, if you don't pay attention you won't learn our history." Melanie turned and looked at her friend, "Dison laik son swima op ona rein." (This is a waste of time). It was Daria's turn to roll her eyes, "You know that that's not true. Our history is not a waste of time and we need to learn it to do better."
"I know" Melanie said with a sigh, "But I already hear all the history at home from my family. I know all about the unrest when Skaikru arrived." Melanie replied. "Yea your parents were there, I know some from mom but my dad wasn't there. I need class to learn it like some of the others." Daria replied trying to make Melanie understand that not everyone had the same knowledge she did.
"Ai get em in" (I know) Melanie responded. "Gonasleng beja" (English please) Daria asked, her Trig was not as good as Melanie's. "Sorry, sometimes I forget that your parents don't speak Trig at home." Melanie said before asking, "Want to go for a ride before dinner?" Daria nodded and they ran off to the crater.
