So, guys. Scrolls has worked out an update plan, that, hopefully, will work out. Here should be an update every third Sunday of the month, starting in December. Scrolls is still writing this, so Chilling's hiatus will not be affecting this story. That's all for now, thank you for reading! :)
Mathematics
History
Language
Music
Science
Small group Discussion
Art
Free Period
"What a long day." Cryptic muttered.
"It's not long!" Maple said, "It's super duper short!" Each period is only like 45 minutes! How am I ever going to learn to read!? It's going to be the end of the schoo-"
"Well you don't want to be late then, do you," Dolphin cut in. Two gongs sounded in the hall.
"Come on! Let's go! Let's go! LET'S GO! What are you waiting for?!"
"Ok, ok. We all have Mathematics first right?" Dolphin asked.
"Yep! With the Amber Winglet. Oh, and we also get to meet our SkyWing, IceWing, and our...our.. uh..."
"Our SandWing," Dolphin finished for her.
They slipped into the mathematics cave just as the final gong sounded. A NightWing, SeaWing, two IceWings, two extremely grumpy-looking SkyWings, a sleeping RainWing, and a smug-looking MudWing were already gathered there."DARTFROG! Hi!" Maple screamed, making Cryptic jump.
Dartfrog sat up and blinked, a bit of orangish red shimmering around his ears before it melted back into the warm golden brown of his scales.
"Hello." he replied flatly, but an unbidden blush of pink crept along his stared at the other Seawing. Maple gently bumped her tail with her own.
"Uh... Hi.. um, Hurricane - um.. what're you d-doing here?" Dolphin stuttered.
Wow and I thought I was nervous, thought Cryptic.
Hurricane never got a chance to answer, because just then a SandWing with no tale barb walked in.
"Hello, class! I'm Arid, but you can call me sir, if you want. Please take your seats."
Everyone shuffled to sit on cushions arranged around the room. Mr. Arid carefully set up slanted stone slabs for writing in front of each student.
"I'm sorry I'm late, but the teachers had a last minute meeting. When I call your name say 'Here' and come to the front of the room to pick a color of ink and your quill. Maple?"
Maple's scales put on a burst of yellow before returning to the vibrant reds, oranges, and greens of autumn that she had chosen. "Here!" She scrambled up to the front of the room. She instantly plucked up a robin's feather quill, then began to look at the inks.
"Hurry, please, Maple," Arid said from where he had checked off her name. Maple picked a bright green colored jar and sat down in her cushion.
"Thank you. Zenith?" A red-orange Skywing looked up with an irate expression. "Here," came the flat reply.
He got up and picked a red pot and a bluejay's quill.
Mr. Arid nodded, then asked, "Cryptic?"
"Oh- um, here," It came out like a question. She got up, wings tucked close, and went to pick out her quill and ink. She quickly selected a silver colored dove feather, and a container of purple ink. The rest of the students went relatively quickly.
"Right, now that you all have your writing materials, we'll go over the rules. Then I will give you a new seating chart."
"Alright. 1. No flying, 2. No talking, 3. No cheating, 4. Please try to keep everything neat, 5. Show your work, 6. Be respectful, and 7. Raise your talons when you want to speak."All good? If you forget, they are listed on the wall right there. Now, the seating chart. Everyone, please go stand at the back of the class."
Everyone did so. The teacher arranged the cushions into two rows of seven. He did the same with the slabs.
"Okay, now then, I would like Maple to sit here."
He pointed to the first cushion in the first row. Maple quickly took her seat. Zenith was placed next to her, then a MudWing named Adobe. Then Hurricane, and then an IceWing named Chill. And then the other MudWing, River, and the NightWing named Starcatcher.
In the next row there were Cryptic, Dartfrog, a SandWing named Duststorm, Copper, Blizzard, Sandstone, and Dolphin.
"Very good, thank you. For the rest of class we will be having an assessment to see what you know in math so far."
