Disclaimer: I don't own Yancy academy, Nancy, Percy and Grover. The plot line is mine though.
Casus's Point of view
Mr. Nicoll was a mean teacher. At least Mr. Arithmus was nice to us and had good motives. Mr. Nicoll just yelled, "Find you seat. There is a name tag at each one. No swapping around." You could tell he was very strict from one look. And he definitely played favorites. He gave our trio a scathing glare of hate when he came in. Goat boy must hate the amount of hate he is picking up.
I was right in front the girl Percy was with in math, Nancy. She really was a bully. Two spitballs already hit the back of my neck. I stayed calm and ignored her though. Deep breath in, deep breath out. Percy was the one he really had it out for. Pain was right in front of his desk, first row, so Mr. Nicoll could have an eye on him. Also, Nicoll knew he was dyslexic and kept picking on him for it, especially when Percy fell asleep. Maybe Nicoll was a monster. I made a note to tell Grover my suspicions about him after classes.
The class was very slow and boring. He gave a vocab list of twenty words to each student, all of them different, and said at the end of the week he would collect the list, then on Monday you would have to spell the word correctly, along with the definition. One grammar, wrong word, wrong definition, or spelling, would flunk you and end up in a punishment of his choice. He made sure to remind us that physical punishment was allowed.
Class went on and on and on. He gave us toward the end of class, a binder full of paper and dividers. He growled, "This is your English binder. Other materials will be added when necessary." He then gave us a writing assignment due tomorrow. Size 12 times new roman font, no spacing, at least three pages, on the importance of English. No helping each other or spell check. Use the library computers and go to this link only. Make sure to print. Almost the whole class groaned, except for a few nerds. Percy almost cried. Grover and I could use computers, but Percy probably couldn't. This just helped confirm my theory that Mr. Nicoll is a monster. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring. We ran out of class.
"Grover!" I called for his attention. "πρέπει να μιλήσουμε απόψε (we have to talk tonight)"
"Καλά (okay)," he responded. We sprinted to reach Percy, who stormed out of the door, almost crying, the second the bell rang. Mr. Nicoll must have been extra mean to him, just like we thought.
"Percy!" I called. "Wait for us καταστροφέας του πόνου (destruction of pain)"
"Huh?" he questioned. "Oh. Coming!" He ran back to us, grabbed our hands and pulled us to science.
All three of us were excited for science. First of all, it was one of our top three favorite and best subjects for all of us. Secondly, Ms. Doctrina was nice. She would also most likely be good at her subject, since based off the last name, she came from a family of doctors. Last of all, it got us out of English and having a double block of it. "Let's do this," Grover commented. "Couldn't be worse than that Τέρας (monster) Nicoll."
"Yeah," Percy and I agreed. We walked through the doors.
"Hello, boys," the teacher greeted us. "Please sit at the five person table. There is only one of them" We walked over to the table. There was already two girls sitting there. The lot of us took the empty seats.
"Hello, Grover," one of them greeted. "Who are you three."
"Hi Koati," he responded. That was how he knew her! "These are my friends, Casus and Percy. Who are you?" That was directed towards the other girl. Both Percy and I waved politely, sitting down. Percy had been in the dumps since Mr. Nicoll showed up. I was worried for hi,.
"I am Aivota Rahat," she greeted stiffly. She had a posh accent, British of Finnish descent, I believe. "It is nice to meet you gentlemen."
"Nice to meet you to," I spoke up for the rest of the group. "Shall we end our conversation and look forward now?" I was met with nods of agreement. Everyone stared at the board, no movement other than Percy's foot. And that was going unnaturally slow and quiet. There was still a few more groups meeting and greeting, but that soon ended.
After that, Ms. Doctrina began class with a small speech. "Welcome students. Now that you have all met your lab partners for the term, let us begin. You will all have journals, textbooks now, while textbooks will continuously be swapped out for the new topic. When more materials are needed, I will give them to you then. Everyone got it?" She was met with nods and a few "Yeahs!" "Great! Let us get started with a lab where we will be raising a seahorse. All we will do today is name the fish, and take a few notes. I will pass out the tanks and books now." She walked around giving everyone a notebook and textbook, then plopped a fish tank on each desk. The seahorse made some noise, probably talking to Percy, and he cheered up. Looks like fish are good for something, aren't they?
We debated some names, then went with Kohora, a Maori name suggested by Koati. Kohora was a girl, she was medium sized. Had bigger fins then someone of her size would usually though. We didn't record color or patterns, since seahorses can change color to camouflage. Kohora was a pregnant female, we would be helping to raise the babies, since that was usually the males job. Ms. Doctrina told us we did excellent, best of class. All five of us beamed, full of pride. She told the class to just wait for the bell. Brrring. We were off for Social Studies with Mrs, Sphera.
