Magical Highschool Elite

Chapter 5: First Class

"Aha! There's the star of the show! Everyone, this is Jaylen, our 2016 Bachelor." Lauryn announces. Iyana cups her hands around her mouth to amplify her voice. "More like GAY-len!". Lauryn shoots her a violent look. "Anyway... This class works very similarly to the TV program of the same name. There will be group dates and one-on-one dates. These are decided by a preset calendar." Lauryn walks down the aisles of desks and hands each student a schedule. "If you get eliminated, all of your future dates are cancelled and you will be transferred to Calculus 1 instead.". Ashley sweats. "At the end of the competition Jaylen will pick his favorite girl and take her to the annual MHE Magical Night Of Magic Dance.". Jaylen gives a smug smile and a wink towards the class. Iyana slides even further down in her seat and scoffs. Everyone else cheers. Lauryn passes out the last calendar and stands back by the chalkboard again."Alright, alright. Settle down." she says to the cheering class. "Since this is our first day, you'll just be introducing yourselves. Any questions?". Ashley enthusiastically raises her hand. Lauryn points to her. She asks "Uhm... Aren't you a student? Why are you teaching this class?". Lauryn answers "Your old teacher is sick or something so I'll be taking over this semester. I really need the extra credit.". A girl sitting near the window looks out at the lake and asks "Is that a body floating in the lake?". Lauryn quickly replies back "NO." with an anxious expression. The students go quiet for a second and then all start blabbering questions at once. Lauryn pulls a magic wand out of her back pocket and casts a spell on the room. Everyone forgets what the were saying mid-sentence. "We'll do the introductions tomorrow. Class dismissed!" Lauryn yells.

Iyana launches out of her seat at the speed of sound. She swipes Ashley's hand on her way out of the classroom. Right after she lets go, Ashley stumbles and falls face first onto the floor. Iyana looks down at Ashley and gives her a simple "Psht". They catch Anthony's eye as he's walking down the hallway. "YO IYANA!" he shouts. Iyana shouts back "ANTHONYYY AYYYYY!". He slips his backpack off of his shoulders and Iyana starts charging towards him. He braces and she leapfrogs onto his back. "Let's blow this motherfuckin' popsicle joint and go to the Ghost Clab!" he exclaims. Ashley mumbles into the floor "Ohmph mhyph... Wpht abpht ourph-" she lifts her head up "-other classes?". By the time she reassesses her surroundings she can already see them darting off. She awkwardly fumbles up, dusts off her skirt, pulls up her knee-socks and starts running in their direction.
