Chapter Five: A Project of a Lifetime
((Sorry for the wait, BUT Here it is I hope you enjoy it thanks for the reviews guys!))
Previous on "With You I Found Myself": Lani stared at the girl blinking a few time before her first genuine smile in a long time spread across her face, "Jade, I think this is the beginning of a very strange friendship."
-------------------------------------------------------
-RRRIIING!!!-
The school erupted with life as students began to pile out of the building sprinting towards their friends buzzing with the latest talk. Finally after the crowd seemed to move on to their destination, two lone girls emerged from the building clutching their stomachs laughing.
"Hahaha-di-did you- hahaha- see her face!?-hahaha" said a barley breathing Lani.
"Hahaha- oh man that was PRICELESS!-hahaha" said a completely red faced Jade.
After finally calming down, Jade and Lani settled down on a bench where they began to talk about the days events.
'So this is what it feels like to have a friend' thought Lani looking at her new found friend talking animatedly about the days events.
"You know Lani" began Jade, "even though I've just met you, it feels like I've known you forever" said Jade with a huge smile on her face.
"I know, I don't think I've ever laughed or smiled this much in my entire life" said Lani with a bitter-sweet smile on her face.
"Hey, don't worry about it" said Jade while nudging Lani's shoulder, "we all have our issues, yours happens to be a stupid orphanage, and mine is the stupid foster homes" said Jade shrugging, "but at least this time, I've actually got a reason to try and stay here." She said with a smile.
"Ah! Enough with the sentimental crud already!" said Lani sticking her tongue out, earning her a punch on the shoulder from Jade.
"Anywho lets see what this "history project" is shall we?" said Lani.
"Oh joy…" said Jade groaning.
"What? You know we didn't read the stupid hand sheet since we were a little too busy watching you trip Amber-Ann, onto her face revealing her…"
"Grannie panties!" yelled both girls squealing in laughter, getting them odd looks from the passerby's.
"Haha anyways back to business!" said Lani pulling out a sheet from her bag.
Lani began to skim over their partnered assignment.
"Well? What does it say already?" said a rather impatient Jade.
Lani cleared her voice, earning her a slight punch on the shoulder "alright already!" Lani said with a smile.
She began:
Fellow students,
You are about to embark on an exciting historical journey to the Warning States Era!
"Mr. Morel's a bit eccentric isn't he?" murmured Jade.
Lani cleared her throat and continued:
Each pair will be working on different events that have happened in different eras, it's required that each group passes in a 10 paged paper (minimum) on their topic (one paper per pair please). Each pair is also required to have a 12 minute presentation on their topic to share with the class, please be well prepared and have the presentation as creative as you can! (Remember this will count for 75 of your final grade!)
Remember to have fun! Go around be an active learner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Wow did he really need all those explanation marks?" said Jade, as Lani elbowed her a little and continued:
For each pair their topic will be circled in the following list:
Lani scanned down the paper till she saw a green circle.
"Well what's our topic?" asked Jade.
"The Legend of the Shikon Jewel" she said in reply.
"The what?" asked Jade
"Hm…the Shikon jewel…" Lani murmured to herself in deep thought.
"Hey don't leave me out here!" said Jade waving her hand in front of Lani's face.
"Huh? Whoa sorry" Lani said with a timid smile on her face "I was just thinking, isn't there some shrine around here? You know on the Shikon Jewel, I'm sure I remember hearing about it…maybe it's in the phonebook!" she said standing up quickly while pulling on her bag.
"A shrine? Wow that just screams 'perfect Friday afternoon' –echo-afternoon-afternoon-. And plus!-hey where are you going?! Wait up!!!" Said jade sprinting off her retreating friend.
