Chapter Three

"All right, you all need to have your parents sign the rules so I know that you read them," said Miss, or professoressa,

Farrelli in Morticia's eighth-period Italian II class. "Could somebody pass them out for me? Ah, signorina Hawkeye, could you

do it?"

"Sure," Morticia replied. She got up from her desk, took the papers from the teacher, and began to pass them out.

Her last class of the day: Italian II. Morticia had taken Italian I last year, and she had passed with flying colors, more

specifically a 116. She had had the highest grade in both Italian I classes (for the teacher taught two), and she was rather

proud of herself. The teacher, Ilaria Farrelli, was one of Morticia's favorite teachers, mainly because her personality was so

spastic, unique, and eccentric. Professoressa Farrelli, as she had her students call her, was a native of Italy, more specifically

Venice. She had a strong accent that Morticia thought was entertaining to listen to. She was the only teacher of both French

and Italian at the high school.

Morticia sat back down with her own set of notes.

"Grazie, signorina," said professoressa Farrelli.

"Yeps," Morticia replied.

"Long time no see, eh, Morticia?" asked Madeleine Lafayette, sitting next to her. Madeleine was a junior who played flute.

This was her second year of taking both French and Italian, and she was quite good at French.

"Yeah," Morticia replied. "How've you been?"

"Pretty good, pretty good," Madeleine replied. "Hey, check this out."

She pulled out a sheet of paper from her binder. Morticia took it and looked at it. It was headed Full Names! and had a list of

names.

"Random much?" Morticia asked.

"Yeah... I got bored," said Madeleine. "I decided to randomly have everyone of the band geeks that I know well put their full

names down." Morticia nodded and started reading the different writings.

"Caitlin Alexandra?" she asked after a moment. "That's Caitlin's?"

"Yeah," said Madeleine. "I like it. Mine's Madeleine Arya."

"Cool," said Morticia. When she got to the bottom, she took out a pen and wrote:

Morticia Kaydence Hawkeye

She then gave the paper back to Madeleine.

"Wow, pretty handwriting," Madeleine commented. "Morticia Kaydence? I like that one, too! You've all got such pretty

names..."

"Someone's in a preppy mood today," said Morticia. Madeleine looked at her.

"Shut up," she said flatly. "Isn't my fault. I'm always preppy when it's... that time of the month."

"Ah," said Morticia, understanding. "I getcha. I get all emo. Kind of sad, huh?" Madeleine nodded.

"Anyway..." she said. "What's up?"

"Nothing," Morticia replied. "Apparently Fullmetal's gay for Takenaga this year."

"Fullmetal?" Madeleine repeated, confused. After a moment, comprehension dawned on her face. "Oh, Ed!" she said. She

giggled. "Who told you that?"

"Kaolin," Morticia answered. "We were talking about him at lunch, and she's all like, 'We all know he's gay for Takenaga!'"

"Kaolin says stuff like that," Madeleine said, smiling. "She's a bit perverted at times... but this is one of the times where I

agree with her. We think Ed's bi and Takenaga's gay. No real reason why... but we have to have a gay couple in the band...

so it's Ed and Takenaga this year."

Morticia giggled. "Who was it last year?"

"Um..." Madeleine paused in thought. "Shirogane and Daniel. Even though it was blatently obvious Shiro was straight, we

got a lot of laughs from thinking a drumliner would hook up with a drum major. Even though Shiro and Caitlin moreorless are

together... we found it hilarious to think of him and Daniel in a gay relationship."

"Very nice," said Morticia.

"Are you two working or just talking?" said professoressa Farrelli suddenly, looking up at them.

"We're talking about band," Madeleine replied. "It's important."

"Yeah," added Morticia. "It's about the field show."

She got smacked.

The End.
