(Yippee!)
(a note from the new beta, sazza-da-vampire: hey, I'm hoping that with my interference the chapters are more easily read! Just letting you know that updates may be slower, because now this fic has to be worked around two high school girls lives. Enjoy!)
"Right then class settle down," Mr. Smith, the senior Physics teacher, commanded. Everyone immediately sat down and placed their books on their desks. Mr. Smith was one teacher that you didn't want to get on the wrong side of.
"Right then. Today we will be having a debate, a debate on any subject that you choose, so does anyone have an idea?" he asked, looking around the class of year elevens.
Owen was the only person who actually responded. "How about the plain and simple fact that men are more important than women," he suggested obnoxiously.
Every single girl in the classroom just shook her head and immediately started arguing.
"All right, all right, calm down now, year eleven, this will be our class subject today. Owen, up the front. Who would like to debate against Owen?"
Gwen put her hand up before anyone else had a chance to say that they would try. So Mr. Smith told her to stand in the front of the class at the other side of the teacher's bench to where Owen had just been directed to. Owen gave her a smug grin, believing it to be an easy win, but he didn't know what he was getting himself in for.
Owen started, "Right then Ms Cooper. Firstly to my point, men are the dominant species that are strong, clever and extremely good looking," he stated.
"Oh, really? Well in that case you are not a man. No. I would like to point out that women are very clever also, and it has been proven that we are a lot better at countless things-"
"Oh yeah, like what?" Owen threw at her.
"For a start we have been proven to multitask better, and we can get 'men' to do pretty much whatever we want," she stated matter-of-factly.
"Oh yeah get me to do something now then," he retorted, sure that she wouldn't be able to trick him into anything.
"Fine then. I will. I bet I can get you to say, 'Pink and blue, yellow and orange, too'," she challenged.
Owen stared at her in disbelief.
"No way," he answered.
"I double dare you to say 'pink and blue, yellow and orange too',"
"Huh, I'm not that dumb,"
"My second point is that some men, not mentioning any names Owen Harper, aretoo much of a coward to a simple dare,"
"I am not! 'Pink and blue, yellow and orange too,' ha!"
The whole class broke out laughing.
"And they are also unbelievably easy to wind up," Gwen continued, causing the girls in the back row to fall off their chairs laughing.
"Well done, now sit down. And now we reach the really fun stuff. Physics. Welcome to year 11 physics. As you all know by now, I'm Mr. Smith, and I'm taking your class for the rest of the term. I'm quite amazed to find that none of you questioned my use of debates in a science class, but the ability to defend your hypothesis, explain your results and prove your point is useful in not only chemestry and biology, English and history, but also in physics."
It was about here that Gwen got lost, and just waited for the end-of-lesson bell to go. Eventually, it did.
They all stood up and walked out of the door, the girls laughing and the boys winging at the earlier debate.
"Ha, not so clever now are you Mr Harper," Gwen taunted.
He glanced at her, and decided that ignoring her would only land him in more trouble. "I could have beaten you any day,"
"You think. I could beat you anytime that there's a 'Y' in the day,"
He was about to argue when she interrupted. "Bye Owen, us girls have important stuff to gossip about."
And with that she was gone.
