This chapter here is almost entirely accurate! The only parts I changed around from the actual incident are the words the principal said, Mido's punching 'me' for saying something about the red paint, the teacher's name, the block schedule (like I actually have an ocarina class!), the CD player, the order of events in the pep rally, and Mido talking to 'me' at the end of the chapter.
In case ya haven't noticed, Link is filling in for my roll in this. He is a freshman, I think Saria is a sophomore, and Mido is a senior. Foot-deku-nut is what I'm calling Hylian football. Next chapter is where I really deviate and Link no longer assumes my roll in the occurrence. He's gonna be his own person with his own thoughts and actions. Most of the stuff that happens will be based on some stuff this sophomore named Michael in my first block said.
Enough chit-chat, here's the… REVIEW REPLIES! X3 These responses are only for people who asked a question for the new chapter of either "WTF!" or "The Legend of Advertisement!".
Umm... no questions asked. So THANKS BUNCHES to everyone who reviewed! I love you all very much!
And now here's the chapter. It's an update fiesta over here! Four long-awaited updates over a two-day period!
Chapter 2: Pep Rally
I moved into a crouching position as all the students in the hall crowded around. Mido had just hit me, and I didn't plan to take it sitting down. Well, since I was already sitting down, that would pretty difficult but… The point is, I stood up. So all in all, I did not take it sitting down.
I had said, "Who cares?" after Mido told Saria and I about the vandalized property. Apparently it had earned me a nice punch. I guess since Mido was on the foot-deku-nut team, he was more offended than regular students like me. Saria helped me to my feet and shooed the crowd away by lying that I had just tripped. Many of the students doubted it, but left anyway.
"How could you say that!" Mido snapped. "Don't you have any school pride?" He was interrupted by the first bell, warning us that we had five minutes to get class. Saria urged us both to stop our bickering and get to class, which I gladly did. Mido was more bitter about it, but obeyed nonetheless.
During morning announcements, the Great Deku Tree, principal of Kokiri High, made a special lecture. "Thou may have heard of or seen the damage done to our vast forest," he began in his omniscient voice. "A climate of evil has descended upon this school. Verily, we must not strike back. Stray fairies are being inquired for information about the vandals. If thou hast information regarding this incident, feel free to see me before and after school and before first lunch." The announcement ended and class proceeded. My teacher, Ms. Shortangren, told us about the altered block schedule due to the pep rally.
First period was shorter than usual, second and third bell were normal length, and some time was taken from fourth block. My school had four lunches to compensate for the large student population, each lunch starting and ending at a certain time. I, with my luck, ended up with fourth lunch, which was normally at one thirty in the afternoon, after third block. Today, however, they cut us a break and we had fourth lunch half an hour early.
Class continued as usual, save for the shortened first block. Sure, they'll take time out of ocarina class, my best subject. Second block I had advanced math, which I have been failing in if not for Saria's tutoring. Third bell was the dreaded gym class. I normally just sulked in a corner unless they were doing something I almost enjoyed. Fourth period, Hylian history, rolled around, and my teacher had us go to the computer lad to type our reports on the creation of Hyrule.
Then came time for the Pep Rally, one of the highlights of Spirit Week.
We marched into the gym in no particular order; all the students just kind of surged around each other. I hastily located Saria and we nabbed a seat on the bleachers not too high up that we couldn't see but not so low that we'd be trampled. The band was playing, the band that Saria refused to join despite her obvious skill with an ocarina. The music was so loud that it vibrated up through my entire body. I could feel it pulsing in my stomach the entire time.
A few students who had trained in the club called "Star Dancers" did some really weird dance I had seen them practicing in the parking lot a few days earlier. I really didn't get it at all. Seemed kinda pointless if you ask me. Then three or four teachers rapped to some even weirder music, and I really didn't care to listen. It wasn't amusing in the least. After that they had the foot-deku-team tug-of-war against a bunch of randomly selected students from the bleachers. It didn't last five seconds.
There was more blaring music and some people came in and twirled flags very slowly. Saria and I had given up on the pitiful attempt at a pep rally and were playing ocarina together. After the, erm… 'flag twirlers' were through, there was some bizarre vote thing for "Mr. T". I do not understand in the least. Firstly, who in Hyrule is Mr. T! Secondly, why in Hyrule were we voting for him? I don't even know who won, but it was probably Mido since he's the most popular and most well-known guy at Kokiri High.
Then we went back to class, where someone on the PA System said that we could go home as soon as we got our stuff from class. The entire pep rally was probably fifteen minutes long, if even that much.
"How stupid was that?" Saria complained. "They didn't do anything. There was that weird screaming contest, and the standing ovation for the seniors, and the tug-of-war, and… Goddesses, it was retarded!"
"Screaming contest?" I repeated with a raised eyebrow. "Standing ovation? What are you talking about?"
"Did you have your CD player on?" Saria accused. I smiled and pulled the sleek gray device out of my pocket, displaying it proudly. "Yup," I confessed. "And I'm glad I did. From what you're telling me, it was the most retarded thing on the face of the planet."
Saria and I were not two feet off the premises when Mido and a few of his cronies got in our way. Mido yanked me aside and glared at me. "Goron High is coming here for the Homecoming Game this evening," he said fiercely, "and you're going to repay their favor while they're here. Here's the plan…"
What's Mido's plan? Well, I guess I can tell. It involves gasoline and pink paint and… well, I think you get the idea.
And the stuff at the beginning of the chapter that I said I changed around, that's ALL I changed around. So I really did go to the computer lad to type a report (for a different class, though) and I really did start playing my ocarina halfway through the pep rally. n.n I had fun, too.
Hey hey hey! -shoots Navi- Really though, listen up. My art contest ends in four days! That's only four days! I still have NO entries! I'm going to be really sad if these one-of-a-kind specialty award graphics go to waste! See my profile for details pertaining to my contest!
And please, please, please leave a review! I thrive on reviews!
