Chapter 6: PE and Second Elective
The three of us, after some searching, found the gym. There were lots of other students walking around, not having the slightest clue were they were suppose to go. Finally a huge man with blue eyes and very little blonde hair climbed up the steps to the gym. "ATENCHION!" He shouted. All conversations stopped. "I would first like to say that after PE, all of the freshmen must drop by the locker rooms to pick up the forms for there PE clothes." All of us 'freshmen' groaned. "Lovely. I HATE dressing out. It sucks. Why do we even HAVE to dress out? Most of the time we can do whatever they want us to do without even needing to change our clothes." Envy said, crossing his arms over is chest. "Agreed." Al and I said at the same time.
"Secondly, One of our teachers did not show up today so all of her students will be joining my class today." He said. Envy blinked. "Holy...that dude's a teacher? I thought he was the Vice Principal or something..." Envy said. "That is all. Please go join your teachers down." He said, bowing slightly and then he walked down the steps. I turned to the girl standing next to me. "Excuse me, which teacher is Mr. Armstrong?" She blinked, then pointed at the man that was talking. "Lovely." Envy said, staring blankly at him, "We get the big, burly man that looks like he's on steroids." I smirked. "Come on, we better get over there before we get in trouble." Envy and Al nodded and we walked over to our PE teacher.
As Mr. Armstrong took role, the three of us chatted. "I wonder what we're going to do today." Al asked, yawning. I sighed. I told him that reading all night and getting up too early would catch up to him eventually. "We might have to do something stupid, like push-ups or running. Or we might just get to sit here all day, which would be awesome." Envy said, wiping some sweat of his forehead. "Alright class." Mr. Armstrong said in a deep booming voice, "Tomorrow we'll take a short warm-up jog and then we'll take your measurements. Then you'll have the read of the day to do whatever you want, like today." The rest of the class cheered as I pondered the meaning of 'measurements'.
Then, it hit me like a ton of bricks. He was going to measure how TALL we are. I felt myself start to snap. A million horrid things flashed threw my mind. No one, NO ONE gets to know how tall I am but me! "Nii-san." Al said in a warning tone turning to me, "Stop flipping out. We go threw this every year. They never laugh, they never announce it over the intercom, so just stop it." He said, sighing. Envy arched an eyebrow and opened his mouth, but I shot him a death glare and he quickly closed it. But Envy couldn't keep his mouth closed for long. "What the hell was that about?" He said, unable to keep it inside any longer. Al sighed. He tried to catch my eye, but I ignored him. Then he turned to Envy. "Nii-san is very sensitive about his height."
My eye developed a twitch as Envy stared at me. "What?" He said, a note of shock in his voice. The twitch moved on to my right arm. "You heard me." Al said, giving me a pleading look. Envy walked around me so he could talk to me face-to-face. "May I ask why?" He said. I ignored him. "I mean, why? You're not short. You're not tall, but you're sure as hell not short." If I was a cat I would have flicked an ear in his direction. "I know people shorter than you. Just look at the little girl over there! She looks like a 7th grader." My eyes wandered over to the girl he was talking about. "So?" I said, silently agreeing with his statement, "She's a girl. It's ok for girls."
Envy cast his eyes about, looking for someone shorter than me. Then his eyes lit up. "Look at that dude over there! He's hecka short!" I winced and looked up. And my mouth nearly hit the floor. There, standing right over there, was a really short guy. He got up and walked past me. He WAS shorter than me! Even though it was just by a little bit, he was still shorter. "See?" Envy said, playfully punching my shoulder, "You have no reason to get all sensitive and stuff!" I smiled and looked over my shoulder at Al, who was silently thanking Envy. I smirked. "Ok, so what? Still doesn't mean you get to tease me." I said shoving him. He fell into Al, who shoved him back. "HEY! I AM NOT A PINBALL!" Envy yelled and I laughed and shoved him again. The bell rang and everyone rejoiced as they rushed off to their air-conditioned classrooms.
We walked up to Seska's office. This time, there was a rather long line. We joined it. Everyone was ether talking about what class they wanted or they were complaining about how hot it was. "Nii-san." Al said, tugging on my sleeve, "Why didn't we do this the first time?" I froze, then hit myself in the head. "God am I stupid. I'm sorry Al." I said, feeling embarrassed and stupid. "Ah, it's not your fault, all of us forgot." He said, waving his hands wildly. I smiled. Al doesn't like me taking the blame for some things. Especially the little things. Well, mainly the little things. "Dude, it is HOT out here!" Envy wined. "I know." I said taking my coat off. Al started to flap his shirt. "Yeah, but you guys don't have long, dark colored hair!" He said, wringing his hair like a wet towel.
The line moved slowly, but we finally got to the front. The three of us entered at the same time. I never thought I've ever love air conditioning so much. "Hello Seska!" Al chimed. "We're back. Again. Sorry about that." Envy said, fake laughing. "Don't be sorry, it's ok." She said smiling at us, "What classes would the three of you like to take?" We looked at each other. "I think I speak forall of us when I say we have no clue what we'd like to take." Envy said, "But we'd like to have our classes together. And nothing girly like flower arranging." He continued. Al and I nodded. "Okie-dokie." Seska said typing into that weird program of hers. "You'll get your updated schedules tomorrow in first period." We left her office.
The three of us walked up to the unopened gates and waited for them to open. I looked at my watch on counted down. "5...4...3...2...1..." We braced ourselves as the bell shrieked. It sounded like someone was slowly murdering a woman. A lady walked up and opened the gates. The three of us dashed off before anyone else and we headed home.
Yes, I'm back! I lost it, but now I'm back in the groove! I'm so in the groove, I've written 3 chapters in less than a week! I need 3 reviews before I post the next one because I want to know if anyone out there still remembers my little fic. O.o
kawaiichibie - There will be no Ed x Envy. shutters That's just creepy. I'm trying to avoid any romance, but I have no problem with Roy X Riza. ;)
Inuyasha loves sake - I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this. O.o I had an idea but it was stupid...but I have a new idea that could work. So it might just be them going to school, it might not.
Ok, if anyone else asked a question and I haven't answered it, please point it out to me. I hate doing that. Anyhow, see you later!
