Chapter 3: Class Tasting
The President's speech ends up being more than just a welcome. She keeps going on and on and...oh they're clapping. I guess she's done, finally! We wrap back around into our little huddle.
"Okay, we've got ten minutes to chose and get to our first class. What are we going to do?" Roxas pulls the schedule from his bag.
"Did you find any classes you wanted to see?" I look at the little book Serah gave me.
"I saw one that was called 'Myths and Legends: The Keyblade.' Sounded kinda cool." I see the class Tobi's talking about. It looks okay, but...eh.
"Oh yeah that one sounded cool." Makes sense that Roxas would like that. He, Tobi and Ven have kinda always been history nerds.
"What about this one...'Kids and Teachers: How to Deal.'" Kairi starts giggling, "Sounds fun."
"Sorta." Naminé's mouth widens into a smile.
"intro to Psych...Required for all psychology courses...well that sucks."
"Are you to that one Van?" I chuckle.
"No! I have to take it anyway, so I'm not going to waste my time now."
"Speaking of, we're almost outta time." Ven reminds us.
"I guess I'll go to that Keyblade class with you guys." Van lets out a sorta half sigh.
"Well, if he's going too, I guess you can count me in." I shrug. It doesn't sound too bad anyway.
"Alright, so we'll meet you guys after the class, right?" Smiling, Kairi turns to me.
"Yep. Back here?" I give her a quick kiss.
"Sure." Naminé and Roxas share a kiss too.
"Okay, see you then." The girls head out the way we came in.
"So where is this class?" I put my hands behind my head; to be honest I didn't pay all that much attention to the schedule when I looked.
"I think it's just on the second floor." Ven cocks his head while looking at the map, "Room 243."
"Right. Let's go!" Tobi smiles before looking at the stairs. Nodding we all follow to our new classroom.
That class wasn't bad, it's probably on my maybe list, but I did find one that makes it on to my definitely list. It's called "Mood Music: Setting for an Adventure." I bet that would have made these adventures a lot more fun. Especially during all that time in the Gummi Ship with Donald and his...
"So what's next?" Ven flips through the book.
"What about this one, 'Mood Music?' You guys have to get an arts credit, right? And it works for my major too!"
"Sure, we've got seven more of these things today, so it sounds good to me." Roxas nods, which the others mimic in one form or another.
"We should probably see what the girls want to do first though." Tobi stuffs everything back into his pack. With that we walk back down stairs where Kairi and Naminé are waiting for us.
"So, how was it?" Kairi smiles as we come down the stairs.
"Not bad." I give her a hug.
"We liked it." Tobi says from behind me.
"How was yours?" Roxas splits from Naminé.
"It was nice. I think I'm going to take it." Naminé tilts her head as she smiles.
"Me too! Problem is, it's an 8 am class, which isn't great.
"Still if you like it. Plus it must work for your major." Ven takes out his schedule.
"And mine too...I have a lot of electives." Naminé smiles again.
"What are you guys going to next?"
"Mood Music or something." Van enters the conversation.
"That doesn't sound bad...oh and it counts for our arts credit." Kairi flips through her book. "I'll go with you guys."
"Why not?" Naminé adds.
"Awesome! Let's go!" I almost jump from my excitement. We're going to try a class out together! The only problem is...we might end up being a little late. The class is in the ...Lumi Arts Hall on the other side of the Courtyard.
So that's another one down, and we weren't even late! It was pretty awesome, and I think the others liked it too, so this might be our class!
"What's next?" Van seems less than interested.
"We have this one and then lunch, right?" I fold my arms.
"That's what it says. Let's see, physics...no...math...ha, no...geology...eh...we've already done history...chemistry...that doesn't sound too bad." Roxas flips through the pages.
"Here's one...'The Science of Magic.'" Tobi and I share a book.
"You guys can go to that if you want, but I think I might go to another ed class..."Teaching High Schoolers.'" Kairi points to the book.
"I should probably go see that one." Kairi smiles and turns to head to the building behind us again.
"Was there one you wanted to go see Nami?" Roxas walks over to his girlfriend.
"I don't know Roxas...there's a traditional lit class that looks interesting." I watch Roxas' eyes brighten as she says that. Judging by her smile, she did that on purpose.
"Okay, so we'll go to the Traditional lit class, you two are going to that chem class, right?" Tobi and I nod. "Where are you going to go Van?" He just shrugs.
"Well, to avoid being a third wheel, I guess I'll go to that chem class with these two."
"We'd better get going then." I put my pack back on my shoulders. Tobi and Van follow me out the side door toward the Couret Science Hall while Roxas and Naminé go out the other side to the Humanites Center.
"Okay so that was boring." Tobi leads Van and I out of that really boring class.
"Yup, not taking that one. Talk about monotone." Van mimics the last teacher. That guy was bad, and here I thought chemistry would be cool.
"Alright, we've got an hour for lunch...did you want to try the cafeteria?" Tobi points to the dining hall behind us.
"Sure let me text the others..." I pull out my phone to text Kairi and Roxas. They only take half a minute to text back, "Alright, they'll meet us there."
"Cool...let's go!" Tobi readjusts his bag. Van cracks his fingers as he follows with us. . The dining hall is part of that first building we were in, at least according to the map. After we get back, we find the cafeteria on the secon-ird floor away from all the classrooms. Wow...it's a huge place...it can probably hold two thousand people, but it's empty...right now.
"Wow...look at this...there must be seven different food stations." Tobi shows us the menu they have near the register.
"You need to get your ID pictures first, so if you tell us your names, we'll get your pictures and have them printed for you by tomorrow." A lady at the register motions to a bunch of cameras ahead of us. I just hope I can take a better picture than that one time with Donald and Goof...never mind.
Okay, that's done, so now we get to eat! I wave to Roxas and Naminé who are right behind us. Kairi and Ven must be nearby in that line that's going out the door. Van, Tobi and I find a table for all of us, but we agree...eventually to wait for the others before we start eating. I stare at my plate for a while wishing we hadn't made that choice. Oh, well here the come.
"Awesome you finally made it!" Kairi and Ven join us at the table.
"How was your class?" Tobi asks as I start to eat. He takes up a bite of food and at the sametime as mine, his face falls. The rice leaves our mouths. "Ew...and here I thought only Sora could crew up rice." He uses a napkin to clean out his mouth.
"That was one time!" I manage after I spit out the rest of my rice.
"Hey at least he can make noodles." Kairi pushes away her plate.
"Thanks...I think..." I turn into her kiss, which makes me sure it was a compliment. Naminé puts a napkin up to her mouth. I think she might be spitting something out.
"Roxas, I love your cooking even more now."
"Me too." Ven frowns.
"Pathetic." Van shoves his plate away.
"We've got 45 minutes before we have to go back." Tobi looks up at the clock.
"The plaza?" Kairi stands.
"Works for me!" We all follow her out of the dining hall.
"So what are you guys going to this afternoon?" Kairi stabs at her salad with a fork.
"Hey Tobi, there's a writing class in the second session." Roxas cuts his sandwich in half.
"Which one?" Toobi slurps his noodles.
"That non-fic for fiction writers one." Roxas tries with plenty of sandwich in his mouth, which makes us all laugh.
"Okay!" Tobi laughs, "But what about the next session?"
"I kinda just want to pick one out of the book and go with it!" Kairi shifts her salad around.
"That sounds like fun." Naminé giggles.
"Sure, why not?"Tobi smiles.
"Works for me." I take a bite of good rice. Ven, Roxas and Van look at each other and shrug.
"Sure." And that's how the rest of the afternoon went. We went in and out of classes another four times before we were finished.
"Soooo glad to be done with that." Tobi plops down on the grass where we agreed to meet. I land beside my brother, and Ven crosses his legs underneath himself. Kairi and Roxas join us in the next few minutes. Van and Naminé aren't far behind.
"We're not done yet though. We have to make our schedules plus we that interview with the school too." I lay down on the grass.
"Yeah and we still have to buy all books too..." Ven groans.
"Wonderful." I imagine that Van rolled his eyes, but I couldn't see. So we sat there for a while setting up our schedules. I've got two with Tobi and Roxas, three with Ven and Naminé, but only the one with Kairi and Van. We go to the store and buy all the books we need. Mine were 7318 Munny and that was after the discount! Most of them were used too! And one of them wasn't even a book, just a bunch of pages that I have to put into a binder!
"Interview time?" I turn to our time keeper, Roxas.
"Yep...fifteen minutes. Where was it again?"
"I think it was in the Library..."
"Do you still have the message?" I shake my head at Naminé's question.
"Let's just go to the Library. It's not like they can do the interview without us." Van stands up and points to the Library. We all nod and head off that way.
