Wyll had forgotten what they had next. Gym. Mizora said through his right eye, which he'd also forgotten was a sending stone. Well, hopefully, the gym teacher was less done with life than Mr. Owens.
The teacher was certainly less done with life than the last. "ALRIGHT PIPSQUEAKS!" he yelled, at the top of his lungs. "I'm Professor DA. In MY class, we're learning nothing but PHYSICAL ACTIVITY! None of that other stuff. And in my class, you're gonna have to MAN UP! IF YOU DON'T MAN UP, YOU FAIL! IS THAT CLEAR?" There was a general murmur of assent from the class. "Oh no," Gale whispered. Wyll had to stop himself from laughing. "You are so going to fail," Karlach said, grinning at the wizard. "TODAY, WE'RE JUST GOING TO PLAY DODGEBALL. SEE HOW GOOD YOU PIPSQUEAKS ARE." "Gods, does he ever stop yelling?" Astarion said. "Probably not." Shadowheart pointed out.
The class was split into halves for the teams. Somehow, Gale had managed to convince Professor DA to let Tara be on a team. Wyll wondered if there was a rule somewhere about letting cats play. Probably not. The teams were Wyll, Shadowheart, Gale, Blitzø, Karlach, Astarion, Asmodeus, and Angel on team one, and Tara, Mizora, Fizz, Stolas, Lae'zel, Lucifer, Bee, and Niss on team two. Professor DA blew a whistle. "START!" he yelled. It became absolute chaos very quickly. Gale was the first one out, after being hit directly in the chest with a ball Tara threw. The tressym could throw surprisingly well, for someone with no opposable thumbs. The fact that she was also a wizard might have helped. Mizora glared at Wyll from across the room. If you hit me, she mouthed to him, you are in so much trouble. Wyll grinned back at her. Mizora sneered at him, and then immediately got nailed in the face by a ball thrown by Karlach. Fizz tried to throw a ball at Asmodeus. Unfortunately for him, Asmodeus caught it.
The rest of the game passed without anything too interesting happening. A kid stood up on a bench and cleared his throat. What was his name again? Lucifer? Yeah, that was it. "I have an announcement to make, '' he said. "With the cooperation of Mr. Davis, the theatre club this year will be performing a play. If you'd like to join, there are sign-up sheets just outside the gym doors." That sounded interesting. Wyll looked around to see if anyone else had shown a reaction. Fizz looked excited, and both Asmodeus and Blitzø had looked to see Fizz's reaction. Wyll frowned. He knew Blitzø and Fizz were dating, so it made sense that Blitzø was checking out Fizz's reaction, but Asmodeus? Well, he is the sin of lust, Wyll reminded himself. "ALRIGHT, GO TO YOUR NEXT CLASS." Professor DA yelled. Wyll decided to at least have a look at those sign-up sheets. It couldn't hurt, could it?
