Chapter 4: PDA, English, and Ballet Class

"BBBBRRRRRIIIIINNNNGGGGG!" Demeter jumped five feet in the air and then looked around to find the source of the sound. All around her humans (real human) were yelling the word "Bell!" and then running off, books in hand. Munkustrap put his arm around her shoulder. She looked up into his brown eyes.

"It's going to be okay," he said, "I promise." Demeter relaxed a little, she trusted him with all of her heart.

"It says in the folder," Tugger said from behind them, "that we should go to the specified class on our schedules when the bell rings." Demeter looked down at the slip of paper that had come out of her folder and read it:

Class Schedule: Stage and Screen Prep.

12:40-1:05— Solo Vocal — Room 21

1:10-2:00— Drama— Room 10

2:05-2:55— Dance (Jazz) — Room 13

"What class do you have first, Munku?" Demeter asked.

"English."

"Me too," she said excited, "What about second?"

"Drama," he looked at her crestfallen expression, "What's wrong?"

"I have a Ballet class second." Munkustrap looked at her worried expression. He took her hand in his and said,

"Don't worry, Demi, you'll be alright." Right before they entered Room 34 for English Demeter gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Right as she kissed him the door of the classroom flew open and a plump woman with iron grey hair stepped out and yelled,

"PDA!" at the top of her voice. Demeter and Munkustrap looked at each other confused.

"PDA?" Munkustrap asked the woman. She sighed,

Public Display of Affection," she snapped, "I'm going to let you two get away with it, just this once since it is you first day, but you two may not sit next to each other in my class." Demeter looked horror-struck.

"Come on," Munkustrap whispered in her ear.

There were four rows of desks in the room, with five desks in each row. Demeter looked around and sighed in relief. In the back were four desks, on one end sat a lean, handsome, dark blonde boy. Demeter smiled all of the girls' expressions at seeing Tugger. Then there was an empty seat, which Munkustrap took. Next was a pretty girl with fiery, red hair. Most of the guys had expressions that rivaled the girls when they saw Bomb. Demeter took the remaining seat next to Bomb. She noticed that Bomb and Tugger both had annoyed looks on their faces.

"Why aren't you sitting next to Tugger?" Demeter asked.

"Because Mrs. Strictman," she said nodding toward the teacher, "busted us with a PDA!" Demeter giggled at Bomb's bitter voice.

"She got me and Munkustrap too."

"Class! Class!" Mrs. Strictman said, "Pay attention! Today we have five new students, and I would like them to stand up and introduce themselves." Demeter, Bomb, Munkustrap, Tugger, and, Demeter gasped as the last person stood up, Macavity stood up. "Introduce yourselves," the teacher said.

"Demeter," Demeter said timidly. She looked at the others, who looked like they were thinking very hard. Demeter realized that they were trying to decide which name to use. Demeter had used her normal name, since it was the name that her family used daily. The others always used their more dignified names on a normal basis.

"Rosemarie," Bomb said, choosing to use her family name. Demeter looked at Munkustrap, he had unoriginal humans who had named him "Silver" on account of his coat.

"Michael," he said, choosing a human name that he had heard before.

"John," Tugger said, also choosing a human name instead of "Fluffy," the name his humans had deemed him. They all looked at Macavity who, thought he had no human, would still have a common name.

"Bryn," he said, using the name he had given himself for his henchrats to call him. (They had trouble pronouncing most names so he had chosen a simple name. Stupid creatures). Mrs. Strictman took a close look at Bomb and Macavity and asked,

"Are you two related?" Munkustrap froze. He and Jenny were the only ones who knew that Bomb and Macavity were twins, and Misto was their older brother. He relaxed, though, when Bomb and Macavity shouted, in unison,

"NO!" The teacher next took a good look at Munkustrap and Tugger.

"What about you two?"

"Brothers," Munkustrap said.

"I can tell," she said. For a minute Munkustrap was worried that Macavity might be wondering why she didn't realize that he was related to Tugger and himself. It soon passed, however, Macavity had always thought that he had been different from his brothers. Mrs. Strictman went into a monotonous lecture and Munkustrap's thought about why they might have been transformed.

Demeter walked into Ballet class, hoping that someone she knew would be in there. She wasn't to be disappointed. She saw the slim, blonde human that was Victoria, just before a female Cockney voice called,

"Demeta! Ova 'ere!" Demeter turned around to see a girl with shoulder length brunette hair,

"Teazer!" she said in relief, giving her fried a hug, "I'm so glad you're in here with me!"

"Me too!"

"Sit down class!" the teacher, Ms. Danceson called to them, "Now we have three new students today."

"Yes!" whispered some of the class.

"Which means," Ms. Danceson continued, "That, while I am assessing their abilities, you may have a free day." Teazer and Demeter looked at each other nervously. Neither of them had ever been all that great at Ballet, Demeter's skill was jazz dancing and Teazer's was acrobatic dancing. Vicki, on the other hand, was an amazing Ballet dancer and had a look of great excitement on her face. Once the class had went to a different part of the room with their certain groups the teacher turned to the three girls.

"You may do a Ballet dance of your own or one that I show you." Demeter raised her hand. "Yes?"

"If we want to, may we do a dance together?" she asked.

"You may." The three girls talked for a minute and it was decided that Demeter and Teazer would dance together, and Vicki alone. Vicki stood up and got into position, she wanted to go first.

"Name?" Ms. Danceson asked.

"Victoria," Vicki replied.

"You may begin." Vicki performed her solo dance, without the music. Demeter was happy to see that she performed it flawlessly, just as she did at the Jellicle Ball. Ms. Danceson clapped at the end of Vicki's dance routine and said,

"Victoria, you should really consider joining the dance team we have here." Vicki smiled broadly, pleased at the teacher's response. "Names?" she asked when Demeter and Teazer stood up.

"Demeter."

"Tess," Teazer said, using the name her humans had given her. The two did a portion of a dance from the Jellicle Ball. When they were finished, the teacher clapped, just as she had done for Vicki. This time, however, all she said was, "Excellent." Demeter and Teazer walked out of class when the bell rang, a little jealous at how talented a Vicki's terpsichorean Ballet powers.
