~Hether's POV~
We were almost late when we arrived at the hall, and we found some seats on the bleachers to sit together.
Then, some random person shouted out,
"A ONE! A TWO! A ONE TWO THREE FOUR!" The music starts blaring into our ears; I almost jumped up from shock. It was mental. Students are wearing crazy clothing and costumes like Fortnite skins, and they are holding nerf guns! Then the music stopped, a deep and loud recording blared,
"I AM LORD VOLDEMORT! JOIN ME, AND I WILL GIVE YOU GLORY, WEALTH AND POWER. COME AND JOIN THE DARK SIDE!" My eyes widened even more; they were as wide as saucers. All of the sudden some students yelled,
"EXPECTO PATRONUM!!!!" I wasn't even registering what was happening and was bouncing up and down my seats though, I mentally sighed to myself, look at how big I am as a Harry Potter geek, or you could say bookworm. (I know the homecoming doesn't make sense, but I've never been to one so pardon me haha )
The performance came to an end, and everyone was applauding enthusiastically, it had to be one of the best homecomings ever right? Then, who I assume was the principle, who was wearing normal formal wear with a bow tie, and he looked about 50 something. Came out and said,
"Welcome back everyone to Seaside Mamier middle school for a brand new semester! I hope you all enjoyed the performance just now. Just a couple reminders that, food and phones are not allowed in lessons. You may take it out after lessons, and this year we are trying to save electricity by 20% so if you are the last to leave the classroom, please switch off all lights and air conditioners, as well as the computer and projector, thank you very much." He scams the bleachers, then continues, "One last thing. We've received many complaints from parents last year about their child or children being bullied. Our school is strictly prohibiting bullying from happening. If any of the teachers found out, there will be severe consequences, and you may need to be expelled. That's all for our homecoming, and I hope everyone enjoys their first day back." The crowd applauded and started heading out the hall with a mass amount of happy chattering.
Kansan came forward and said,
"Come on; we gotta get to our classes! Or we'll be late!" I looked down at my timetable.
I thought, "So we're having English Literature for our first class, this should be interesting."
I followed Kansan to the classroom that we were supposed to be in, in front of the board, was a middle-aged man in a wheelchair, his eyes were chocolate brown and as if he had seen it all. He had dark brown thinning hair and a scruffy beard, wearing scholar top along with a frayed tweed jacket.
He smiled warmly at us,
"Welcome to a new semester everyone, I'm Mr. Brunner and it's nice to meet you all." I studied him, he had wrinkles on top of his forehead, as if he was always frowning and cringing while worrying about others. He continued, "Now class, I want to ask who knows anything about Greek mythology and Roman mythology?"
My hand shot up almost instantly, I had always been a big fan of myths, they were interesting and all of them seem so real. So you can say that I am a nerd hehe... I looked around of the classroom, I was surprised to see several hands up as well, I recognized that Zale, Kansan(who was smirking, weird...), Eira and Yasan. Others either had a bored expression or curious expression.
Mr. Brunner started, "This year, we will mostly focus on this while when there is still other time we will cover different forms of story types. Now, can anyone name the twelve Olympians?" I raised my hand once more, Mr. Brunner took notice of me and said, "Ah yes, Miss...?"
I replied, "Miss Wong Mr. Brunner, and the twelve Olympians are Zeus, Poseidon, Demeter, Hera, Apollo, Artemis, Athena, Hermes, Dionysus, Ares, Hephaestus, and Aphrodite." Mr. Brunner gave an approving nod and said,
"Full credit Miss Wong, yes they were the twelve Olympians. Mighty gods and goddesses who ruled Olympus, can anyone answer what are the symbols of power off Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades?"
This time, was Eira who raised up her hand, I knew the answer but I had to give other people chances right? Mr. Brunner said, "Ah Miss Belle, and what are those?" Eira spoke,
"The symbol of Power for Zeus is his master bolt, Poseidon's symbol of Power is his trident and Hades's symbol of power is his helm of darkness." Mr. Brunner smiled and continued,
"That's correct Miss Belle, I have a clip here about the Greek gods, after the clip you should be able to grasp the basics about the gods and goddesses and I will be quizzing you all at the end of the class so pay attention."
Mr. Brunner went to the computer and broadcasted the clip (A/N down there guys, my class teacher showed us and it was almost as accurate as the book)
After the video ended, Mr. Brunner handed out the pop quiz. I was hoping that my dyslexia wouldn't have some sort of bitch fit, I did put some effort into controlling my dyslexia, it's like every time I read focus on every word. The words were bigger than I expected it to be, but again, our class was a special class for children that need extra help.
The questions were all surprisingly easy, the bell rang and the class was dismissed. I wanted to catch up with the guys but I remembered that I left my bottle in the classroom so I went back to the classroom to get it. Mr. Brunner saw me and smiled at me. I explained,
"Sorry Mr. Brunner, I left my bottle on the table so I need to get it." He nodded and I ran in to grab it, I muttered a quiet thanks to Mr. Brunner and went out.
But I swear, before I went out, Yasen went in and I swear they were talking in another language. The only thing I caught from their conversation was:
Monsters
