Hello everyone, sorry it has taken so long to update my story. I have been really busy lately so I am really sorry about the delay. So now on with the chapter!


Giving up or Moving On?

Ch. 12 M-A-T-H-O

The class watched as Mr. Norberg wrote 35 answers on the board. "All you have to do it put an answer in each of the 24 blank squares. One of them is a free space," he explained as e walked around and passed out the paper matho game boards.

Kagome wrote numbers on the game sheet and looked around the classroom. There was a group of 5 girls who clearly knew each other from earlier. One of them was the Lindsey girl from earlier. Then there were a few people who looked like they knew others but only from today. Once everyone was finished with the board the game started.

"Ok we will start out with really simple solving questions. Solve for x in 3x96." Mr. Norberg stopped for a minute and gave them time to figure out the problem. "Ok let's see… Kristin T. do you have the answer?"

Kristin looked up at him, she was sitting next to Lindsey, "Um I think it is 32"

"Yep there you go see it's simple. Now if any of you wrote 32 on your board then mark off that square," Mr. Norberg said and continued the game. 20 minutes and 5 matho's later Mr. Norberg called a stop to the game. "Ok I will give each winner a homework pass if they sing the song." Everyone in the class looked at each other skeptically. "Come on it's not hard, if you won come up here."

5 people got up and walked to the front of the room, Inuyasha, Sango, Lindsey, Ashley and Robby. The 5 of them waited for Mr. Norberg to give them the song they were supposed to sing. Mr. Norberg handed them each a copy of the song that they were supposed to sing and walked to the corner of the room to watch. The 5 people all looked at each other and started to "sing" the song.

There was a teacher had a game and matho was its name-o

M-A-T-H-O M-A-T-H-O M-A-T-H-O

And matho was its name-o

While they sang the teacher was doing a really goofy dance in the corner that had a lot of clapping and stomping involved in it. The 5 people all quickly sat down again and waited until they got the homework pass. They kept playing the game until the end of the class period, it ended up that everyone got to have a free homework pass by the end of the class.

With only 5 minutes left they all got to sit and talk until the bell rang. "So what do you think about Mr. Norberg? He's kind of a nut if you ask me," Inuyasha said, looking at his friends.

"I think he is…fun," Kagome said hesitantly. Sango laughed at her, "Don't be modest the guy is a nut but o well, it was kinda funny I guess…" When the bell rang they all got up and went into the hall.

"Where is our next class?" Miroku asked Inuyasha, as he seemed to be the one to know his way around the place. "Follow me I will show you," Inuyasha answered and started to walk down the hall. They went about half way down that hall and turned left. They went all the way down the senior hallway to the other end and out a side door. They followed a sidewalk across the street and down a little to the door of the building. Once inside the other building they turned right and went down that hallway, their class was the next to last one on the left side.

They all went inside and sat down at one of the tables that has 4 seats at it. They waited a minute for the teacher to come in and start talking to the class about what they were going to do in the class. "Hello everyone, I am Mrs. Filbin and welcome to art one. We won't start anything today but I am going to tell you about what is gonna happen in here…" She went on for a few minutes and told them all the rules and what was going to happen. "I want you to do a getting to know you project because we have the time."

Inuyasha looked over at the clock, they had been in there for an hour and still had 30 minutes left to go. He sighed and turned back to the teacher while she told about the assignment. "I want you to draw anything, whatever you want to, use any value you know and any special techniques you have learned. This is just so I know the quality level for the work I can expect from you," she said as she passed out the paper and other materials used for drawing.

15 minutes later the teacher called an end to the drawings. She went around and collected all of them. Inuyasha had, by far, the best drawing in the class. It was an elaborate drawing of a dragon with giant flames coming out of its mouth. Kagome and Sango both drew simple hearts but curved them in different ways that made them look really pretty in the full piece. Finally, Miroku had a picture of what they thought was supposed to be Sango… but it was a little hard to tell because it was not the best quality of a drawing.

The rest of the class was just them sitting around and talking about stuff. When the bell rang they all went back across the street to get ready to go home.


Ok I am really sorry that it is really short but I didn't know what to do and I don't feel good at all right now. I was feeling bad because it has been so long so I put something up. Well hope you like it anyway, and please remember to review!!!
