English I

[Veronica Carter]

There was just a few minutes before the bell when a sophomore walked in. "Hello @sam, you're not late," she had smiled at the girl as she went to turn her attention back to her planner. However, she had looked up again when the girl asked if she was okay. "I'm fine, thank you," she replied back, a hundred per cent sure to remain calm and collected. Nobody could know what she did about the Tate girl. It would destroy everything that she had worked so hard to give her daughter.

The freshman she had recognised as the transfer student from Devenford Prep had walked into the classroom, with a minute and a half to spare. "You're just on time @liam. Do not make a habit of this please," she responded with a stern tone. Students should not have been cutting it that close. Just as Veronica had thought that, her own daughter walked in and she had not been happy with the seating chart.

"I put you there because you are a Freshmen and so is he. Be nice Cassandra Vieleta or you will be grounded," Veronica threatened her daughter with a face that told her not to mess with her. Veronica had watched Cassandra walk to her desk and flinched unnoticeably as the bell shrilled throughout the school.

"Alright class, time for us to begin. Today will be learning about the classic tale of Romeo and Juliet. But first, I need to know who is taking AP classes," Veronica's loud voice carried throughout the classroom, hoping that the lesson would go as planned.

Class has begun. Students must post at least 3 times to pass the class. Homework might be assigned to make up for third post. Let the posting begin!

[Kira Yukimura]

Kira had turned to the front of the classroom to see who had walked into the classroom. Of course the last three students were almost late to class, but Kira couldn't understand how the Headmistress' daughter could act so temperamental towards the other Freshman. The one that had been turned by Scott in an attempt to save him, but still suffered quite a bit when he didn't trust the Alpha. She was about to say something, when the Headmistress started to speak. Kira listened, feeling slightly bad for the Headmistress' daughter, but at the same time thinking that it was well deserved. She turned to the teacher, and thought about that class she should take. Well, while helping the True Alpha out all the time, she may not be able to keep up with AP classes, but wouldn't that be better on her report? How much harder were they than regular classes? She had so many questions, but knew her father would be slightly disappointed if she chose not to take AP classes. She raised her hand, "I would like to AP classes." There was no way she would let her not so very normal life outside of school get in the way of her studies.

[Deleted]

Liam was feeling uncomfortable in the class. Each and every sound seemed to be amplified, the scratching of the pen on paper, the tapping of nails on the desk. He even could hear noises outside of the class, like th e scrambling footsteps, the opening and closing of the doors. He was not so happy with the voices in his head and it was driving him crazy. He tried muffling the sounds by closing his ears and tried to concentrate on the class. Liam bent his head down in the desk and waited for the bell to ring. This time, a certain blonde was not in his thoughts, his thoughts were swirling around to the previous day's incident which was a mystery to him.

Liam however was quite surprised when he heard the blonde's voice, shouting at the teacher about being placed beside him. He flinched at her tone and her volume and he lifted his head only to find that Cassandra was speaking in a voice which was not even audible. He wondered how he could have listened to something which was not like a whispering between the woman. He watched as Cassandra made her way to the place beside him. He lifted himself off of the bench and looking at Cassandra Carter he said "obnoxious huh?" Not a very good way to describe me".

Liam was relieved when the headmistress started the lesson and mentioned about Romeo and Juliet. 'Ah, the all time classic',he thought and waited for the class to respond to get question of taking up AP classes.

[Malia Tate]

Malia was in no way going to take any AP classes, she hardly understood what she was learning at the time in just normal class, it was the reason for the highlighters, and most of her notes and things were still highlighted in red, some in yellow, but very few in green. Maybe living in the forest for so long wasn't the best thing, she is learning everything that she should have learned a long time ago in Junior year. Her head snapped towards the front of the classroom as the professor started the class asking who would be taking AP classes, hadn't she already asked that question earlier? Oh well, it seems as though the people in the mundane society was eager to repeat themselves at least twice.

She didn't raise her hand even when she saw the Yukimura girl answer that she wanted to take AP classes. She was always with Scott though, wouldn't tthose crazy mission they go on get in the way of her education? She didn't understand how the girl could have so much on her plate, and still continue to live her life like nothing was ever bothering her.

[Bethany Jade Collins]

Bethany didn't look up from her book once to see the rest of the people walk into the classroom, but she didn't really care at the moment. It wasn't as though any of them were friends, and she didn't want to have much of the attention dragged towards her. However when the professor started to reprimand her daughter, Beth couldn't seem to tune it out like usually did. She took a deep breath in and let it out, she didn't realize how frustrating it could be to be in a classroom. In those minor seconds, it seemed as though the oxygen levels had lowered in the classroom, but gladly it was only a few seconds, hopefully no one would have noticed. The class had started and the teacher was asking who wanted to take AP classes. Wouldn't those classes be harder than the normal ones? Who would put themselves through that amount of trouble? Her question was soon answered by a dark haired girl, she didn't know how that girl would balance everything on her plate though.

She had seen the girl roaming after school in the most incredible places, but she hadn't had a reason to know or understand what that group was up to. She didn't want to find out either. If the situation was something so terrible that they had to sneak around to do what they needed to, Beth wanted no part in it. These classes seemed like something that could keep her mind off of the things around her though, so she raised her hand, "I wouldn't mind taking an AP class." Wondering if that was a good idea or not, she lowered her hand, and waited for the next person to go ahead and say something about taking AP classes. it didn't seem too hard, but hopefully she wasn't underestimating the class either.

[Veronica Carter]

Veronica had leaned against her desk as she listened to three out of her six students answer her question. She had no doubt that the Tate girl would much rather steer clear from the AP classes and that was fine with her. But what had surprised her the most was the fact that Scott McCall, the king of skipping class, (not to mention school), was actually signing himself up for AP classes.

"Very well Scott McCall. Thank you Kira Yukimura and Bethany Jade Collins," she had smiled gently as she jotted down a few notes into the diary that she held in her hands. She had turned her attention to the last student; @valentina and wondered if the girl would be taking AP classes. "And you Miss Martin?" She had asked as she awaited for her response. But as the drama teacher always said, the show must go on. Well, in her case it would have been class.

"Take a look at the person next to you; they will be your partner for this class. Treat them well and with respect; or detention with Deputy Kyles will be given," Veronica had stated sternly as she watched her daughter for her reaction. Not hearing anything in protest, she decided to go on with the rest of the lesson.

"You will be assigned an act from Shakespeare's classic tale of Romeo and Juliet. Your assignment? To make it as modern as you possibly can," she had smiled as she put down her diary and walked toward the whiteboard at the front of the room. She grabbed a whiteboard marker and started to write the acts up on the board.

"GO!" Veronica had clapped her hands together and had hoped that everything went to plan.

Students who have not participated; @sam, Cassandra Carter, @valentina.

[Cassandra Carter]

Cassandra hadn't been surprised when Liam spoke to her about calling him obnoxious. She had sat straight in her desk, pulling out a notepad to take notes on the lesson, because her mother would have killed her if she didn't. She had looked at her fellow classmate out of the corner of her eye and looked him up and down.

"Taking to the bite I see," she whispered loud enough for him to hear. "But remember Dunbar, obnoxious is the perfect word to describe you," her eyes flashed a golden amber and she flipped her hair over her shoulder. She pulled out one of her favourite pens and twirled it between her fingers as her mother started the class.

She had almost choked on her own saliva when her mother had mentioned Romeo and Juliet. 'Please no, I beg of you,' she had thought to herself as she tried desperately to wish for anything but her mother's favourite scene. But alas, her prayers went unanswered as her mother put the most famous scene up on the board next to her's and Liam's names.

Her head snapped toward the boy next to her and her eyes flashed the golden amber for the second time in less than five minutes. "This does not mean I like you," she snapped as she felt her claws pierce the skin on her palms. Cassandra hadn't meant to be mean, but she couldn't help herself. There was just something about him that made Cassandra angry.

"Let's just get this over with," she had whispered as she started to jot down what she knew about Shakespeare's most famous scene. Looks like she wouldn't be getting out of this one anytime soon.

[Malia Tate]

Malia didn't what to be part of the AP classes, she hardly understood the normal classes. It was only a matter of time before she got to be too behind for her own good. She listened as the teacher thanked those who wanted to participate in the AP classes. It didn't bother her that she didn't know much about what was happening in the class or what AP classes actually were. She however didn't enjoy the little feud between the blonde most noticeably annoying sarcastic mode and light brown haired freshman that carried some sort of harmonic attachment to the female wolf. The werecoyote turned to see her partner, and smiled lightly as she had also raised her hand to participate in those AP classes. Respect will be something that she could give the girl, but working on the project with her would be kind of hard. She didn't know anything about Shakespeare or Romeo and Juliet.

[Kira Yukimura]

Kira didn't exactly know what was happening, why had she chosen to take AP classes? Oh well, it didn't matter anymore as she was already struggling with so much as it was going on. The Headmistress thanked them for participating in the AP courses before asking the other Martin; Lydia's sister, whether she wanted to participate in them as well. Then she went on to explaining who would be their partners for the rest of the class, and Kira was happy to see that the Alpha would be her partner. Somehow not understanding why the Headmistress would pair her daughter with the one person she could hardly get along with, and Kira would gladly trade places if it meant to keep the peace in the classroom. She was happy to start working on the project to modernize the fifth scene of Romeo and Juliet. She was glasd she had read it a while ago with her enjoyment of books when she used to be a complete loner before meeting Scott because with the fox threatening to unleash itself, she couldn't read correctly anymore.

[Bethany Jade Collins]

Bethany knew who her partner was, and she was confused why she should be paired with her. She hardly understood what was happening in the class half the time. It was only because she had such a kindred spirit that she hasn't raised her hand to ask for a switch of partners. She smiled when the Headmistress thanked all of those who have wanted to participate in AP courses. It was only then that she had actually started to pay attention to the freshman and how they were acting towards each other, they didn't seem to be able to tolerate each other, but who was she to say anything about them. She wanted to get the assignment over with, so that there wouldn't be so much socializing with the other girl.
