The art teacher held up a lumpy mass of gray-brown and allowed the class to observe it. "Behold. Clay!" She began to dance about, nearly shouting as she went. "Magnificent, marvelous clay! My favorite of all the art forms! Shall I make a cat…...?"
Kyo Sohma twitched slightly. Why couldn't they have a normal teacher? Ever? He turned to stare out the window.
"Or maybe I'll make a mouse………"
Yuki Sohma sighed, thinking 'Rat, actually…' and shifted his position so he could see the girl which sat in between him and Kyo. She had long brown hair and wasn't necessarily pretty, although she could definitely be called cute. Tohru Honda….
As the class split into groups and began working with their clay, Kyo came back to reality. "What the hell are we supposed to do now?" he asked, glaring at his lump of clay as if it would give him all the answers.
Yuki gave a sigh. Typical. "Weren't you paying attention? Do you make any effort at all in this class? Or is it just an easy good grade for you?" Tohru looked from one to the other, thought of intervening, and then thought better of it. Better let them fight now and get it out of they're system. At least they acknowledge each other, right?
"I do so pay attention sometimes! And for you're information, just being this close to you and not kicking you ass is such a huge effort it takes most of my concentration to keep from beating you into pulp!" At this Yuki snickered slightly. Like that would ever happen. "Oi! What are you laughing at, rat-boy!"
Tohru, Hana, and Uo watched the squabble with little interest. This sort of thing happened all the time. Uo turned to Tohru. "I'm surprised at you, Tohru!" At this point the usual 'I've failed my friends somehow' started racing through Tohru's mind and she began to panic.
"Whatever it is I'm so sorry Uo! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings!"
For a moment Uo just stared. Then she started laughing. "Tohru, relax would ya? I was just gonna say that you're birthday is a week away and you haven't said a word about it? How are Hana and I supposed to get you presents if we don't know what you want? If my birthday were this close I would have my list posted on the bulletin board outside the school."
Yuki and Kyo's fight had subsided. Now it was time for Kyo and Uo's fight. "Well that's because you're a selfish little Yankee bitch," said Kyo under his breath.
"What did you say, Orange Top?" Uo half screamed. Hana, Yuki, and Tohru sighed in unison and began to knead their clay. Just another normal day in their school.
