The next class I have is guitar class and finally swimming class. Not gonna lie, I am actually excited for the guitar class. For safety purposes, I put the edge of my axe (my guitar) on some pieces of strong plastic. So I don't actually cut something, or someone to be specific.
When i went to the class, I carefully pull out the guitar and waited for a bit until the teacher gets here. A couple of students was shocked and back up for a bit, thinking I was actually gonna hurt them.
Sorry. This is a guitar, don't worry! -I said
The students slowly walk back to me but keep their distance. After a while, the teacher arrived.
"Being in New Jersey can be a pain sometimes, I never knew driving can be annoying. Anyways...welcome to guitar class! My name is Professor Waters. It may sound like a dumb last name but it is something. Anyways, there is no need to introduce each other since I always got everyone's name. Anyways, show me what do you got, one at a time I will call out your name and you will play a small song on your guitar. That is how I will know what you are working on and what you need to do." -The Professor said
We was all going to the front of the class, playing some small songs one by one. As time goes by, some of the students aren't the best, others are actually REALLY good and some are in between of both. Finally it was my turn and then a few others and we are all done.
I walk to the front of the class and pulled out my axe. 'Step back everyone.' -I said as a warning. Everyone backed up and I carefully moved it to where it will be easier to play, without harming myself and others. Some was shocked and I can tell from their eyes that they are surprised. 'Any questions before I start?' -I asked
Silence fills the room...Until I start playing my music. It was slow at first and wasn't really the best but as time goes by, I started to play to my heart's content. Some was snickers thinking I can't play has turned into a jaw dropping moment, same to everyone else. After some time I finished. I then put my axe back on my back and everyone started clapping. I was actually surprised people like it, even though it wasn't fully done yet.
Thank you. Now, who's next? -I said. After I went back to my seat, the next person went and finally everyone was done.
The Professor walk back to the front of the class and ask me a question.
"Jayla? Why is your guitar a literal axe? You can hurt someone!" -Waters explains
Two things: Someone gave it to me, and for self defense. I put strong plastic on it so I don't try to hurt anyone alright. -I said
The Professor has her eyes widen, but still continues to resume class. The class was actually good to be honest. We see videos of people doing guitar work and we had to follow it and try it out ourselves. We also had to learn how to read actual notes before we actually started and our exam is to make a actual song album for us to play to prove we actually learn how to play guitar, no matter what type! I actually like the class as it is actually fun.
Finally I have swimming class. We have a locker to put all of our stuff in there, so I put my axe and my backpack in there. The lockers are that big. After that, I closed my locker and went to the pool. The lockers have a combination on them so it won't just be stealing and taking.
After I head to the pool, 150 students was there and I see someone familiar. All I can think of is the hoodie: Wistful.
"What's up everyone! I'm Professor X. No, I am not the founder of the university but my name is from the university. This introduction is gonna be a little different this time. Last year, everyone has to race and whoever was first get to introduce each other first and slowly go down the line. This time, one person have to make it to the end of the large pool and at the end, you have to introduce yourself. After that, the next will go. I will tell you the rest." -Professor X explained
We all look at each other, wondering if we have to switch to swimsuits. One person ask a question.
"Um, Professor, do we need to switch to our swimsuits? I don't like getting my clothes wet." -The girl said, she looks to be a brat.
Before I know it, I see X speeding her way to the girl, we all jumped when she start running, it was like she teleported to her, that's how I know X is a vampire. X picked her up and throws her in the water. The girl screams as she splashed into the water. The water is really deep. We all look at X and then the girl who went to the surface. We all laughed at her.
"Ugh! I'm gonna tell the principal about this!" -The girl shouts
"Yeah yeah shut the hell up and get to swimming! I do this to people like you!" -Professor X shouted. This made the girl mad as she swims to the end of the pool.
She got up from the pool and introduced herself. Her name is Abby.
"NEXT!" -Professor X commanded.
One by one we all swim in the pool and it was my turn. I haven't swim as much in my life. The last time I actually swim is when I was swimming in the lake when I was 7. For some reason and to this day, I swim without moving my legs, just only my arms and I can still swim. I actually swim to the bottom of the pool and then slowly to the top. I got up and said my name.
The name's Jayla. -I said. I feel my face and of course, my mask is still on. After that, we all finished and stand in front of the pool, waiting for X's instructions.
"Now, here is the deal. Get to the bottom of the pool and see how long you can last down there." -Professor X said.
"WHAT!" -We all shouted
"Yeah, I know crazy, since you all joined the class, you must have a good amount of oxygen on your system right? So, I want to see how long you can breathe down there. If you feel like you can't breathe anymore, quickly swim back up there. If you need help, quickly ask someone for help. Last time I did this, someone actually drowned down there because everyone couldn't help him." -X said
A student rises his hand. "How long was this miss?" -The student asked
"2009. The school wasn't really so big that time." -Professor X said
"The year is 2022. How are you still young?" -The student said
"It's called being able to LIVE new kid!" -Professor X said "Now, GET DOWN THERE!" -She said
We all dived to the bottom of the pool, not gonna lie, it really is deep, no wonder someone drowned in there. After we get to the bottom of the pool, we waited. I tighten my mask to the point where the back of my head hurts and I keep my mask like that.
As time goes by, I see more and more people coming to the surface. I'm surprised I even hold my breath for so long. So far for the past 30 minutes, only 37 people is still down to the bottom of the pool. I noticed one of them is trying to take off my mask, I turned around and gave him a death stare. He back up. As I look around, I noticed one of them was trying to get to the surface but couldn't. I thought about it for a moment but I decided to help them. I swim up to them and grabbed their hand. They look at me and I nod my head as we both swim back up to the surface. As we made our way to the surface, I see them looking down on me, and I gave them a thumbs up and I slowly swim back down to the bottom. From their view, it looks like a shadow is slowly going smaller and smaller over time, but they made it back.
A couple of hours goes by, and only me and 2 others is still at the bottom.
