So, after a week and a day of no internet, The elusive Nan make another appearance!
I'm so sorry.
I'm going to stop talking now.
Story time!
Chapter 5
-Elfy-
“Your room, Miss.”
Elfy rolled her eyes at her friend, who was standing purposefully between her and the door she needed to get through.
“Zisteau. Move.” She said, reaching around his body and shoving him aside. He chuckled, letting his large form be pushed around by her arm.
“What’cha going to do in there?” He asked her.
Elfy raised an eyebrow. “This is my class, Zisteau.”
He rolled his eyes. “Y’know, if I lived anywhere near you, I’d be at your house almost every day of the summertime, annoying you.”
Elfy rolled her eyes, but a grin escaped anyway. “Oh, I know you would, if you got the chance.”
Grinning, he turned and peered through the pane of glass on the door Elfy was trying to go through. “What class is this?”
“It’s chemistry. Honors.” She replied.
He shrugged. “Not that fun.”
“It’s mandatory, Z.” She said. “I’ll see you later.”
Pushing the door open and walking in. She swept her eyes around, looking for some familiar faces. Seeing the hand waving frantically in the back, she smiled and made her way over to the table.
“Hey, now we’re in two classes together!” She said to Kappa, who grinned.
“What a surprise. I knew that they wouldn’t be able to keep us out of the same classes. But, I would’ve thought that they’d learned their lesson last year.” She replied, yanking a notebook out of her backpack and plunking it down on her desk. “I guess we’ll have to change that, or at least try to.”
Elfy laughed, leaning over to her bag to get out her own things. “The whole episode with the eggs should have bothered them.”
Kappa shrugged. “I’m surprised it didn’t.”
They both quieted down as a pretty woman walked through the door, plunking her bags onto the comfortable-looking chair behind the desk in the corner. Looking up, the woman’s eyes widened at the size of the class. Rooting through her things again, she pulled out some things and went over to the table in front. More than half of her small form was hidden behind the tall desk.
“H-hello class.” she said.
As one, the class made a noise that seemed like it could have been a hello, but Elfy wasn’t sure. It was safer to say that it was a hello, instead of cursing out the teacher in a foreign language.
The teacher accepted the half-assed greeting from the class, apparently, because she then said, “My n-name is Ms. Lemon. I will b-be your teacher for this class.”
Speaking with a strong stutter, she glanced down at her papers for a second. Looking up, she clasped her hands and leaned on the desk. “This class has thirty-two kids in it. That’s bigger than I’m used to, which is normally less than twenty-five in one class.”
The kids didn’t react, and continued to stare at her with glazed eyes.
Ms. Lemon sighed. “Bigger classes in chemistry—or any science class—is always difficult. For you guys to get through the experiment before the end of the period, you’ll need to listen intently, work productively, and cooperate with me, your teacher.” As she spoke, the heavy stutter in her voice went away a little, as if she was getting into speaking to the people in the class. “Am I clear? Kapeesh?”
Kappa snorted next to Elfy, smothering her face with her hand to quiet herself. “Kapeesh.” She snorted again.
Ms. Lemon heard the reply, and continued. “Okay, then. I’m not even going to attempt to do anything with this class—not yet. We’ll start labs next Monday, after the safety rules and introduction stuff I need to give you beforehand.”
She clapped her hands together, smiling. “Okay! The periods are shortened today, right? By how much? Does anyone know?”
Some kids piped up, shouting out random numbers. Elfy, rolling her eyes, raised her hand to help out Ms. Lemon.
But, as she waited to be called on, a girl a few tables away from her was called on. “The periods are shortened down to thirty minutes.” The girl said, letting her hand drop to the table with a smack.
“Thank you—” Ms. Lemon paused. “Ah. I haven’t done the seating chart yet. What’s your name?”
“Squid.” The girl said, reaching up to draw her hair away from her face.
“Ah, Squid.” Ms. Lemon said, pulling a pen from out of her hoodie—which wasn’t very professional, Elfy thought—and scribbled something down on the paper. “Okay. I know one person in this class, and have thirty-one left. Just to tell you all now—I am horrible with names. So prepare for mispronunciations and complete misses, regarding your name.”
And, for the rest of the period, she went around, asking everyone’s name and other random things. Elfy guessed that it was whatever came to her mind when she looked at the kid.
“We have a minute left of the class, so let me say one more thing.” Ms. Lemon said, fiddling with her papers behind her desk again. “I know that some people don’t like school. But, since you all have come to this school, in particular, I guess that you like school enough to care about the classes you take.”
The class was silent, but Elfy saw some nods.
She continued. “And if you like the classes you came her for—your special classes—I can only hope that you like the other classes as well.”
The bell rang, and the class filed out. Elfy, being one of the last ones out of the room, looked back to see Ms. Lemon sitting at her desk with the seating chart in front of her, pointing to a face and whispering names under her breath.
