Chapter 6: The Second Day; First Block
After such a 'nice' and 'relaxing' sleep, I get up this one fine morning and notice that Michael is hogging the bathroom - even though I really needed to go...
"No," he yelled from inside the bathroom. "Find your own bathroom to use!"
"I just need five minutes please!"
"You should of thought about your actions carefully yesterday!"
Today is going to be a long day...
"...So the first thing we will analyze," Misstar continued. "Is a classic story called Super Mario 64 by Nintendo." A student raised his hand. "Yes Toad?"
"So is this Mario, the same as my buddy Mario?" Toad pointed to his left where a boy with a growing bushy mustache and a red cap with a large M printed right on the middle of it.
Misstar took a long look at Mario, indeed the resemblance was uncanny. "Well first of all Toad, it cannot be this Mario because the Mario in this book is about at least a century older than him since this story occurred long before your time." Misstar stared at Mario once again. "Secondly, he does appear to have a striking resemblance to him. Maybe Mario is an ancestor of Mario?" Letting the knowledge sink in a little before continuing, Misstar continued with the topic relevant at hand. "Now class, open your books to page five and someone read out loud the introduction... Christopher." All eyes fell on me; only I did not realize so because my eyes were closed. It was not until someone tapped me that I realized that I was sleeping.
"Good morning," Misstar replied warmly. "I suppose you were sleeping well?"
I sort of did not say anything due to flushed embarrassment.
"Well, I'm glad to see that you are finally awake. Would you please open your book to page five and read out loud the introduction, please?"
I gave a stretch and a yawn before I began reading the page. I needed that extra five minutes, but more would of been nice. "In 1996, a Dragon Koopa by the name of Bowser kidnapped and imprisoned the fair princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, Princess Peach Toadstool..." I pretty much learned that Mario took it upon himself to embark on one crazy journey to save her. The book would not say whether or not he did it out of love or not, but I know that if I was this Mario back then, I would have surely did it out of love... Most likely anyway. Most of my thoughts started drifting toward...
"Okay class, your homework tonight..." Everybody in the room groaned in misery. We didn't even finish the chapter, we're already given a homework assignment, and only on the second day of school? Once everyone was finished moaning and groaning, Misstar continued. "...Will be to read a section of chapter one, Bomb-omb Battlefield, and figure out the best way for you to teach the class what chapter one was all about. However you decide to show your work must last at least thirty seconds." She began counting the students. "Six sections including the extra one and twenty-one students here... Perfect! Break into groups of three." I was lucky enough Yorkie wanted to partner up with me, plus she brought a friend with her - perfect for a three person team!
"Hi I'm Daisy," the new girl greeted.
"Hi Daisy! I'm Christopher, but most call me Chris."
"Well, it seems you two are getting along already," Yorkie commented. "Anyway Chris, Daisy is one of my best friends way back when we still went to middle school."
"Class settle down, please," Misstar suddenly called out as the class quieted down. "The bell is about to ring, so let me tell you the section each group will do: Mario, Luigi, and Toad, you three will handle "Battle of the Big Bomb-omb." Yoshi, Boshi, and Birdo, you three will handle "The Seven Red Coins of Bomb-omb Battlefield." Daisy, Chris, and Yorkie, you three will handle "Koopa the Quick..." The bell rang suddenly signifying the end of the first block. "Any group that I did not call on please meet me up front; the other groups, have a terrific day! Homework will be due in a week!"
"Okay, so if the project is due a week from now," Daisy started. "How about we all meet at my place on Friday to do it?"
"Sounds fair," Yorkie approved.
"I like the sound of that," I commented.
"Alright, then I will see you guys later. See ya!" Daisy waved us off as Yorkie and I went our way to math class.
"So," Yorkie started. "You probably didn't catch a good sleep last night."
"Thank you, Sherlock Holmes." I yawned, which only proved her point more.
"I bet I could tell you why," she snickered.
"And I betcha you cannot." I yawned again.
"It was about Zeena was it? Or maybe Wonder, right?"
I coughed, probably because I chocked back on my yawn. "I don't know what you are talking about!" Of course, you cannot hide anything from girls because they seem to catch everything you do.
"I can see right through you." She laughed as the two of us entered math class. "It makes my detective work easy."
What a short chapter. Only 918 words, but significantly more than it originally was (658 words). Ciao! :P
