BTW: I know virtually nothing about fencing, so bear with me.
Chapter 5: The Captain
English IV AP with Mrs. Skywalker was the last class of the day. And on that particular Monday afternoon, Jag could not be happier that school was over for the day. It was the first day of tryouts for the fencing team and Jag couldn't wait.
He and Jacen walked silently to the gym. Though Jacen acted like there was something he wanted to tell Jag, he never actually said anything. They reached the gym and entered only to see a fairly large crowd was already gathered. Their usual lunch group, unfortunately including Jaina and Zekk, had already secured a section of the bleachers.
Jagged was a champion on Csilla but had never competed on the national level. Yavin Academy had the best fencing team in the nation, and their captain last year, it was rumored, was slated to win an international competition until an unfortunate accident happened one week before and threw him out of the running. The year before that, as an underclassman, he had taken second place.
It irked Jag to see Jaina and Zekk trying out for such an honor that obviously neither deserved - they were wasting everyone's time. He didn't know who the captain from last year was (though he was probably in one of Jag's classes, at least), but he hoped that if his accident didn't throw him out of fencing all together and he was back again this year, that he would have enough sense and discretion to throw the two idiots out of the gym immediately.
"All right, everyone, settle down." A tall, dark haired, green eyed man called Kyp Durron was the fencing instructor and coach. Jacen had told him that Coach Durron was pretty lax and generally gave the captain full reign of the team, but you had to be the biggest moron in the world if you even thought about pissing him off. If the captain didn't set Jaina and Zekk straight, Kyp Durron surely would. Oh he couldn't wait to see this...
