Dick walked into health class.
"Dick!" He turned his head and saw Kori waving; she pointed to the seat across the isle from her. He smiled and sat down in the seat behind her instead. Kori shot him a questioning look. Dick pointed to Xavier; Kori nodded.
Gar and Victor ran in just as the bell rang. They sat one either side of Dick.
"Good afternoon class." a voice with a think French accent said. "I am Mrs. Rouge. I vill be your health teacher for zis year.
"I am assuming zat your leetle gossiping friends have already told you about ze flour bag project?" Half of the class shook their heads. "Very well. I shall give you a flour bag and you shall vatch it like a baby. You may pick you partner, but if you are sitting next to someone of ze opposite gender, you shall be partnered with zem. Understand?"
The class nodded. Xavier turned to Kori.
"Looks like we're partners huh cutie." Kori smiled. Behind them, Dick couldn't help but clench his fists and teeth.
"The nerve of that guy." He fumed. "He thinks he can just make a more on Kori? He thought wrong. And…………." Dick continued to ramble.
"Yup. He's jealous." Victor said to Gar. Gar nodded.
"Ello duckies! I'm Mr. Mod and today I'd like to start the year with a partner project." The class cheered.
"But to make it interesting, you won't know who your partner is until the end of the lesson." The class groaned. Mr. Mod laughed. "But not to worry lovies! It's going to be a fun project that involves the other periods."
Then Mr. Mod explained that they would be given plain, blue spiral notebooks and that they would write a simple letter-like journal entry without giving away their identities. The other periods would do the same. Then at random, another student would receive their notebook and reply back and vis-versa.
Wally shrugged. Could be worse.
"Dear random person I don't know," he wrote. "How are you today? I'm not sure what else to write because it's only the first day and not much has happened."
Meanwhile, Roy was also writing.
"Hi." Wally looked over at what Roy wrote and snickered.
"Is that all you're writing?" Roy nodded.
"Yup!" He beamed. Wally raised an eyebrow.
"You're the weirdest friend I've ever had."
In her science class, Rachel was slowly nodding off. It wasn't really her thing to sleep in class, but Mr. blood kept going on and on and on and on and on and….You get my point. Garth, who was next to her, yawned.
"Boring isn't it?" Rachel nodded, still a little out of it. She must've fallen asleep because the next thing she heard was,
"…Pick partners." Her violet eyes snapped open and she yawned. She felt a light tap on her shoulder and turned around.
"Want to be partners?" Garth asked. Rachel nodded before yawning again.
In math class, Jen and Karen were passing notes.
"So, how do you like high school so far?" Jen wrote.
"Could be worse. Meet any cute guys yet?" Karen wrote back.
"No." Karen found this odd.
"Really?"
"Yes." Karen noticed that the word "yes" was underlined three times.
'That's obvious. I wonder…….." The wheels in Karen's head started turning…
"If you say so." she wrote back.
"And the square root of D is the product of 23A cubed, which is the reciprocal of…." Karen and Jen exchanged looks before the bell rang. As she dropped her notebook in her bag, Jen noticed that Karen was looking at her.
"What?"
"Oh, nothing." Karen smiled. Jen nodded slowly before passing her. Karen pulled out a notepad and wrote something as she said, "nothing at all…" with a sly smile.
"Hey! Rachel!" hearing her name, Rachel turned around.
"Hi…..Wally, right?" He nodded.
"Hey uh….How well do you know Jen?" She eyed him.
"I don't know; you tell me. It was you who introduced us to her." Wally sighed.
"Do you know which class she's in next?" Rachel nodded.
"Yeah. She's in my social studies class…..Why?" Wally thought for a moment.
"Ask her what type of flowers she likes." Rachel raised an eyebrow. "Don't tell her I asked."
"Whatever you say." Wally smiled and started heading in the other direction. "Whatever you say." Rachel folded her arms and shook her head.
