The kids were still in their terrible, awful math class with Four, but since X came into the room, he was a bit more pleasant than usual.
Moonlight: "I've never seen Four this happy! Was this just because X simply walked into the room to ask for the attendance?"
Nori: "I have no clue. But knowing him, probably."
Tree: "Liy, can you pass this note to the DEATH PACT members?"
Liy: "Sure!"
Four: "Class is dismissed. The Academic Improvement Club meeting is today. Well, unless everyone gets detention again. "
The bell rings and the students dismiss to their next classes. Everyone has an elective second period. The Drama class is in the auditorium.
Silver Spoon: "I'm Romeo! A starring role for a star player! But Lollipop is Juliet. I love her dearly, but I sincerely don't want to kiss her. I already have a darling to call my own. And besides, she's quite homosexual!"
Lollipop: "Silver, I know we have to... kiss... but this is all fake, we both have partners. It's fake, and besides, you're a male."
Paintbrush: "She likes Flower anyways."
Lollipop: "We don't mention that."
Ten: "Places! Time to block Act One!"
Bell: "Mx. Ten, we'll get started on the balcony for Act Two so we can practice with it sometime next week!"
Ten: "Great work Bell!"
Loser: "I can't believe I'm Juilet's dad!"
Mic: "Loser, that's a pretty big part."
Loser: "Well, okay."
Meanwhile, in P.E., Nine attempts to teach the ninth graders how to skateboard. There is a large failure with this.
Scat: "Of course, I can skateboard, I can do pretty much anything!"
Fire Alarm: "Let's see it then. I can do better than you."
Limey: "Fight! Fight! Fight!"
Both Fire Alarm and Scat proceed to fall on their faces. Scat's face somehow lands on Fire Alarm's back.
Fire Alarm: "What is this thing doing on my back?!"
They then begin to death-stare each other.
Bryce: "What's their problem? They're always fighting with this weird tension."
Liam: "Maybe they secretly like each other or something."
Amelia: "Yeah, I think that's the case."
Candle: "I sensed their auras intertwining when they fell during skateboarding."
Pie and Blueberry are just playing sudoku in the back of the gym.
Blueberry: "That 'too sad to play' excuse worked for you, Pie. It's never an excuse for me. I'm always just sad."
Pie: "Maybe a nice game of chess will help."
Blueberry: "Okay."
Skateboarding lessons are going horribly in the gym. Meanwhile, the beginning of Driver's Ed is a bit boring.
Animatic: "This is a car! It goes vroom! and these are the pedals. This one stops the car and his one makes it go. Take notes!"
Match: "What if we, like, already know how to, like, drive a car?"
Animatic: "Then you're just ahead! Yay!"
Blocky: "I'd rather be filming with my lil bro, Snowball, Eraser, and Pen."
Woody: "Wah wah wah car fixing?"
Animatic: "We'll learn car fixing later this semester! That's my favorite part!"
Clock {itft}, pops in the room as he says that.
Clock: "Just don't use my turning motors this time around."
Animatic: "I won't!", as he drifts over to Clock and pats his head
Animatic: "Pat Pat!"
Spraypaint: "Can't we just learn Driver's ed?"
Clock walks out of the room at this point, meanwhile, in Gardening, Seven is instructing on how to build a terrarium.
Seven: "Put the rocks below the dirt to let the still water in the plants drain quicker. From there, you can customize."
Everyone proceeds to decorate their pots with different items and plants.
Tree: "I included some club stickers and lots of plant life in mine."
Bubble Wrap: "Me and Ukelele coordinated! Hers had blue things for me and I have yellow things for her!"
Ukelele: "Yeah! We also got these pretty green ferns, because blue and yellow make green!"
Milk Carton: "I'm so jealous of your relationship!"
Chainsaw: "I'm not."
Caramel: "How homophobic! You were always like this!"
Chainsaw: "I don't care about the gay part, I'm just aro/ace. Love is gross."
Caramel: "I'm so sorry!"
Nonagon: "NONAGON SEES ROMANTIC LOVE AS POINTLESS IN LIFE. NONAGON'S BACK HURTS."
Taggy: "How could you not love love!"
Naily: "Yeah! It's sweet and kawaii!! #UWU#"
Chainsaw: "It gets in the way of more important things."
Tree: "It doesn't have that many bounds either!"
Chainsaw: "Of course, you would say that, you love a black hole! No facial features or nothing!"
Tree: "I said, not that many bounds."
Bubble: "I decorated this terrarium with the things Fanny likes!"
Caramel: "Bubble, there are no decorations besides a single picture of you!"
Bubble: "She hates everything else!"
Caramel: "As Tree said, love has very little bounds."
Tree: "And I'm right. I love Black Hole, almost everyone here is LGBTQ+, and I know we have at least 2 or 3 polyamorous relationships here."
Seven: "Put your terrariums away!"
While that is going on, in Survival class, the kids are learning how to camp.
Fifteen: "So make sure to keep the stakes in the ground."
Eraser: "Why did i choose THIS course!"
Pen: "Because I want to learn how to survive."
Eraser: "I chose this course because you chose it?!"
Pen: "That was back before all the poly arranging stuff happened and you and Blockster were just kinda simping for me."
Eraser: "Why was I even like that?!"
Pen: "Not sure, man."
Snowball: "Survival of the fittest, I see?"
Pen: "Why didn't Blockster sign up for this class?"
Snowball: "His mom forced him to take Drivers Ed so he could drive himself next year."
Eraser: "That stupid mom. Always neglecting him and stuff. I feel bad for him honestly."
Snowball: "Why do you even care so much? You're best friends, but even you wouldn't care that much for anyone! Well, besides Pen, if you know what i'm saying."
Snowball teases Eraser to no avail.
Eraser and Pen: "Dude, you didn't know?!", They say while laughing
Snowball: "Don't know what?!"
Eraser and Pen exchange side glances as Teardrop arrives.
[Authors Note: TD always write things down, even if the dialogue is in script from, I did account for the writing. I also headcanon that she knows sign language and some of the kids, including Gelatin, know it to communicate with her. I'll indicate communication forms when she is introduced and when it changes.]
Teardrop signing: "What are you talking about?"
Eraser: "Snowball doesn't know about the three-way poly thing."
Teardrop: "Goodness. Well, at least he doesn't know how to sign yet. They really should have an elective for that."
Eraser: "I'll just go ahead and tell Snowball."
Teardrop then skips away to help set up her groups tent, and then, the announcer goes off.
Santa Hat: "Mr Fifteen? We need Snowball to the office for one moment, please?"
Everyone does the ceremonial "OOOOOOOH-" as he walks out of the classroom.
In Health and Carrer Prep, Eight isn't here today, so Two is covering this class. People generally like Two.
Two: "For this class today, please silently work on the computer. We are right next to Four's classroom, and he cares about quiet, so please follow my instructions."
Everyone proceeds to follow instructions, except Flower.
Flower: "I can't believe my mom signed me up for this stupid class where I have to take care of an egg as a baby!"
Eggy: "That was offensive, Flower."
Flower: "Sorry not sorry, Eggy."
Two: "Flower, go to the office."
Flower: "Fine! I'll go under derest!"
Eggy: "Flower, the auditorium is right next to the main office. You can see Lollipop be Juliet! And you'll get to see Mrs Santa Hat and Mr Bread!"
Flower: "Thanks, Eggy."
Flower leaves the room then.
In X's art class, everyone is so focused on their painting that no one is even making any noise. Announcer walks in the room.
Announcer: "Good drawings children."
The kids keep drawing as he says this.
Announcer: "Children. Please acknowledge me."
The children all wave and say,
"Good morning, Mr. Principal!"
Announcer: "Due to budget cuts, we have to use less drawing supplies this semester."
X: "More budget cuts? Gee Dr. Announcer, the budget gets shorter every week!"
Announcer: "Affirmative, employee X. I must meet with two children now."
Announcer then leaves the room as the bell rings.
The next period is Lunch. Then after that, only two more periods until A Day is over. The next day is B day!
[ Authors Note - This is so many words! I've literally never written a chapter with this many words in my life.]
