Chapter 27: Calming an Avalanche and Schedules

"Ummm… How about you not hurt him until I get breakfast. I lose my appetite when I see fighting."

Lance looked at her, smiling slightly. Then he glared up at Pietro and dropped him. Pietro brushed off his shirt arrogantly and turned to say something to Alara, but she was already walking towards the restraunt with Kurt by her side. Pietro grumbled and charged towards them. Lance turned back into the Brotherhood house wondering what the electricity that was sent through him was caused by. The others all walked down the street. As they walked, Alara pulled a piece of paper out of the tiny pocket of her skirt. Unfolding it, she smiled and said, "So you guys. Who wants to know what classes I have?"

They smiled and nodded.

"Okay. First I have Geometry…"

"I have Geometry first period!" Pietro exclaimed.

Kurt folded his arms.

"I have Geometry, but not first."

"Then I have Public Speaking."

"I have that!" Kurt exclaimed.

Pietro glared jealously.

"Then I have Honors English."

Pietro grinned.

"That's my class."

"You? In honors? Yeah right."

"It's true! I'm excellent at English!"

Kurt opened his mouth to retort, but Alara continued, "Then I have European History."

Kurt grinned.

"My class."

"Then Gym."

Pietro and Kurt looked at each other.

"Ve all have gym together."

"Then I have my two language classes."

"Two?" Kurt asked. "You're only supposed to have 6 classes."

Alara grinned and nodded.

"I know. That's why I'm taking a class after school."

"What class do you have before the one after school?" Pietro asked.

"Ummm… It looks like I have French."

Kurt grinned.

"I have that class!"

"Hey," Pietro inquired. "What's the one you're taking after school?"

Alara smiled innocently at the two boys.

"Why, German of course."

Kurt and Pietro froze in their tracks. As Alara continued on ahead, looking at her schedule, Kurt glanced at Pietro and Pietro glanced back. They stood there in place until finally, Kurt managed to speak.

"All of a sudden," he murmured. "I have a sudden urge to go sign up for German class."

Pietro nodded.

"Me too."
