The-AO-Squad: School Wars book #2/chapter7
Chapter 7
"-it was just... Quite amazing Kate!" Humphrey was whisper-yelling his experience with the Cool Kids from at Bible. The two were now in Study Hall simply.
Kate's eyes were sparkling with such interest that she suddenly shook her head and asked, "a-anything else?" She tipped her head to one side.
Humphrey gaped and then pondered. There was so much they had said today. Too much!...
how am I supposed to tell Kate every detail?... Nonsense, she's only asking for a little more info is all. Not every word. Think... Think... Hmm...
"well.." He began slowly, still thinking.
suddenly though, cutting him off, Mrs. Griffin rose from her desk and paused at the front of the room.
"ok um I have something to pass out to you all" she began, shuffling and straightening some papers on the podium. "These sheets are for your electives" she then announced, making a few wolves howl with joy and flee at this.
Kate and Humphrey only shrugged at each other, uncaringly. They then waited as Mrs. griffin passed the sheets out. Once Kate got it she studied the listed choosable electives.
Alasia suddenly began whispering to Mariah from across the room, their voices totally hearable.
"Ehy fit for life!" She whispered to Mariah who only chuckled in response.
Kate rolled her eyes at this before looking at her own paper. Last year their mom signed them up for Drama class but right on the first day they ditched and cut out, saying they had permission from their mom to cut. They had gotten quite in some trouble for this...
Humphrey then gave a dramatic sigh. "Welp I don't see anything interesting at all" he remarked bitterly, probably remembering last year as well.
Kate only shuddered though. Their mom was bound to force them into an elective this year...
She then began whispering lowly. "B-but I-if you had to choose something.. What would it be Humphrey?" She asked making Humphrey tip his head to one side understandingly.
"hmm.." He pondered as he scanned the list. The list included-
-Fit For Life
-Drama
-Band
-Choir
-Hearta for missions
-Discipleship
-Dance
And more..
Kate breathed as Humphrey finally turned. "I don't know.. Truthfully Dance sounds pretty nice. We're good dancers" he remarked making Kate slightly feel prideful within. Yeah! She and Humphrey could dance!.. But.. No... Never. Not in front of everyone on stages.. No she couldn't. They couldn't.
"I don't know" she then simply shrugged making Humphrey nod now. "Maybe your right" he then just began shoving it back in his bag.
"Well then... We might as well not care for now. I don't want to truthfully do any electives anyways.. I like Study Hall" he explained making Kate nod with him. Study Hall was a perfect time to finish Homework.. And for the past years of Middle School the two always finished their homework in study hall. Never once did they have to do it at home.
they were just that quick and eager to get it done.
Kate then too put her away. Not bothering to care.
Later that night, of course they had to show their parents.. But they wanted to do it when they were in good moods. It was late now as the two entered their room, papers Behind their backs.
"Ahem" Humphrey started, causing for Eve to look over and pause her show she was watching. "What is it? My sopes are on" she nodded at the paused TV. Winston at that moment hurried out of the room, heading for the kitchen for something to eat. Maybe this wasn't a good time... But it was too late now.
Kate held her head high and revealed her paper, Humphrey doing the same now.
"so I'm.. Err.." Humphrey tried to begin as Eve instantly took one of their papers. "What's this?..." She paused, the two holding their breaths as she looked over the sheet with the electives.
She then beamed a small crooked smile of dismay. "Electives huh? Well you two are doing something, you know that" she snapped, ears quickly pinning with annoyance.
Kate and Humphrey gave each other a look before snorting. "Why? We want study hall!" Humphrey begged instantly with a small glare.
Eve only shook her head. "No. Your gonna do Drama. You two are great at acting anyways" she suggested.
Kate scoffed. "Oh wow! But this isn't your-" Kate tries to begin but Eve would have none of it. She snarled now. "Your gonna do Drama like it or not!" She then took a pen off of her nightstand. "Give me your paper too Humphrey" she demanded, Humphrey giving a menacing look as he handed her it.
From all the yelling, Winston came strutting back into the room now, eyes alert. "what's going on now?" He questioned, making Eve just flash him the papers.
"Electives.." She stated as she began signing the two appears with her signature that was required. It also needed the student's signature...
Winston sighed and gave the two a look. "Straighten up" he ordered making the two just look away. Humphrey's eyes were focused on the floor while Kate's were on the papers. She watched as Eve checked the box off for Drama and then... Slowly head towards another box and check something else off too!?
Kate instantly exploded. "Wait, you said we were only doing Drama!?" She questioned making Humphrey prick his own ears at this. "Huh?"
Eve shrugged. "You'll have Drama for Tuesday and Thursday.. I want you to have something else so I checked off Discipleship" she informed making Humphrey let off a growl.
"what the heck, you know we wanted Study Hall as much as we could get!" He snarled making Winston give his own growl now. "Hey settle down!" He threatened before nudging them. "Now sign the papers, ungrateful pups." He barked making Kate and Humphrey exchange angered scowls. "wow." Humphrey muttered, Kate rolling her eyes.
Eve handed the pen to them as they stared blankly at the paper, Awaiting their approving signatures.
kate sighed irritably. "I don't want this" she growled very lowly but Eve only insisted and flares the papers some more.
What awaits the two.. They didn't know and wouldn't like.. Seemed like things were always unfair.. Even away from school.
The two scowled one last time before heading off to their room now, almost teary eyed.
next is chapter 8! :)
