Chapter Three
The next thirty minutes were followed by utter confusion. The beginners were not having a good time. Ron was attempting a somersault. He tucked on the top of the cheese, and attempted to roll. Key word: Attempted. Ron fell of the cheese mat.
" AHHH!" Ron shrieked, "This is IMPOSSIBLE!"
At the same time, over on the floor, Alexa and Chris were executing their routines. Or they were suppost to. The twins were actually facing it off, yelling at each other, each with a black tape in their hand.
"I have to use the tape player! I have a meet next week! You got to use your tape at home yesterday!" yelled Alexa.
"So? You were using the bars! You didn't need the tape! And I have a meet the week after next, so there!" argued Chris.
Kevin came over to the twins, frowning.
"Hey, guys, break it up, will you? Why don't you just don't use the music?" asked Kevin, getting in between the two.
Alexa and Chris looked at each other, then looked at Kevin and screamed "NO WAY!"
"C'mon sis, you are bad even if you practice. So can I use my tape" whined Chris.
Alexa lost it. She jumped on Chris and started punching him.
Kevin grabbed Alexa and pulled her off Chris with great difficulty. Alexa was
struggling furiously.
"Get off me! Let go!" she screamed.
Ms. Pearl was oblivious to the noise. She was a very young teacher, having graduated from college early. She was used to this sort of thing happening. Besides, she had her work cut out for her, trying to get Ron to do a decent somersault.
The twins decided to stop fighting, and just do their routines without music.
The intermediates didn't like conditioning. Leah was on the floor, panting, while Clarissa had collapsed against Xan, who was trying to shove her off him.
The beginners were having an interesting time, while Ron was struggling through a somersault, and mumbling about "Stupid muggle sports".
The two advanced students were going through their moves, no problem. Exept they were pointedly ignoring each other.
"BRIIING!" the bell rung.
"OK, next is foreign languages. Kaylee, Clarissa, Xan, Ron, Rachel and me have Spanish, while Leah, Alexa, Chris, Hermione, Kevin, and Harry have French." announced Zoey.
"But... But... I DONT KNOW SPANISH!" screeched Ron.
"Quit screaming, Ronnikins! You're gonna bust a lung!" said Kaylee cheerfully.
"But... But... I don't know any Spanish, so how will I pass?"
"That's what lessons are for!" replied Rachel.
Harry looked scared.
"Um.... What's the French teacher like?" he asked.
"Oh, Madame Watilette? She's HORRIBLE!" said Chris evilly.
"Oh no, I'm in deep. I don't know a WORD of French except 'Bonjour,'" moaned Harry.
"And you sat that wrong to!" said Leah cheerfully.
"Don't worry Harry, I'm fluent! I'll help you." replied Hermione reassuringly.
