Volorcami High

Chapter 3

 "Yew? Max?"  I look at them, sitting across the table.  Both of them seem to simultaneously say 'Huh?', food still shoved in their mouths.  Beth looks over at me, obviously confused on how i know them.  I take another glance at them before proceeding to tell her.

 "I uh. . .  Max and Yew are in some of my classes.  I sit by the pervert in homeroom,"  I shoot a glance at Max, who has now swallowed his food and is winking at me. "and Yew walked me to school."   

 "Ah, That makes a bit more sense."  Beth takes a small bite of her peanut-butter sandwich. "But just so you know," She swallows before leaning close to my ear "Yew is mine.  Mine.  Even if me and him aren't actually together, its gonna happen." She says in a low whisper.

 I give her a nervous nod.  So now i obviously know who she likes. Oh god, she's the yandere of the school.  Great.   But I'm guessing she isn't the only girl who likes him because i can see girls glancing over and whispering to each other. 

   Is Yew the chick magnet of the school?  He seems like it.  He's tall, buff, and has a deep voice; which most girls go crazy over!  I shake my head dismissively at the thoughts and continue on.

  I open up my lunchbox.  I packed myself two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, a cherry pepsi, and a butterscotch pudding.  I pull out one of the two sandwiches and delicately unwrap the saran wrap covering it.  I crumple up the plastic and shove it into my black lunchbox. 

 "So, Yew, Max, what type of magics class do you have?  I have potions and witchcraft."  I glance at both of them before biting down into the sandwich.  

 "Oooh, i have teleporting.  Its decent."  Max smirks. "I don't really know why i got it though.  I work with water magic, not teleportation."

 "Ah, water magic?  Thats actually pretty neat."  

"Thanks!"  He beams, looking proud of himself.  

"Yew, what about you?" I lightly hit the table with the palm of my hand to get his attention.  His head snaps up and he looks at me.  The more i look at him the more he looks like the playboy of the school.

 "Oh. Uh.  I got. . .   What's it called. . .  Fire magics! That's it."  He slams his fist down triumphantly once he remembers.  

"So fire magic, huh?  So how many building's ya burned so far, pyro."  I mock him.

"Haha very funny, witch. I'll have you know i have only burnt down a minimum of 5!"  He states sarcastically, making sure to hold his head high for dramatic measure.  We all laugh.  And thats the first memory with my new friends. 

After lunch was a long boring class of history. Which by the way, the teacher gave us homework, on the first day!  Like, no one is supposed to do that.  Your supposed to be let off on the first week of school.  Everything is supposed to be easy peasy lemon squeasy.  Luckly its only a few review questions and stuff.

 And after that i finished by best core class science.  Luckly, science is easy for me for some reason, so that's an easy A.  And also, Yew and beth we're in the class so that's an added bonus to the whole shabang.  

Only one period left in the day, P.E.  The gym is HUGE, i must say.  There are 6 different basket ball goals, a very nice volleyball net, probably 2 million and a half bleacher seats.  Its probably like, 10 times bigger than my old gym.  

 After aweing over the place for a while i spot my group of friends waving me over.  They have all congregated to the near right corner of the gym, all sitting down with a few other class members.  I jog over and sit down next to Beth.

 "Hey, whats up?"  I say while laying my bag down beside me.

"Hey! We were just talking about you."  Beth pats my back.  "Nothing bad, just how cool your power is."

"Bahaha.  Its not that cool.  Im just an evolved gardener."  I chuckle.  

"No your not, 

"Anyways, here's your gym uniform.  The gym teacher told me to give it to you."  She hands me a folded up pair of short black shorts and a light gray shirt.  I 

After i have changed into my gym clothes and sat back down on the bleachers the teacher walks out of the mens locker room with a clipboard under his arm.   He stops in front of the class and gives us a stern look.  

"So, were just gonna start off with attendance.  Easy"  His slightly monotone voice echoes across the gym.  He takes the clipboard and begins reading the names.

"Yew."

"Beth"

"Lauren"

"Max"

"Kaylista"

"Ben"

"Aiya" 

He continues calling out a bunch of names, each kid chiming back with a 'Here'  or a 'present!'.  He writes a few more things on his clipboard before throwing it to the side.

"So today we will be doing some exercises to find... Pretty much what your good at."  He takes a deep breath before continuing. "It gives me an idea of what to teach.  So lets begin with an easy 5 laps around the gym." 

Everyone groans, standing up.  We all trickle into a line, running around the gym court.  Of course, Yew has already taken the lead.  One of his long running strides equals at least 3 of mine. Thats when an idea pops into my mind.

 I look through the spell book that's burned into my brain and remember a spell for speed.  Pretty sure i didnt mention that I'm a competitive person.  I whisper the spell under my breath and feel my legs begin to move faster.  

 "You didn't say no magic!"  I say with a laugh, while passing up everyone including Yew.

"Woah, look at her go!" Max yells out from almost the end of the line.

"Thats not fair!"  Yew whines, deciding to pick up his pace.  He slowly begins to catch up to me.  he is surprisingly only a few feet behind me.  

"Im gonna catch ya, shortie!"  He growls at me.  Lucky for me, he can't seem to pass me up.  He seems to be stuck a few feet behind me.  We have already gotten around 3 times and passed by many people.

 Thats when i hear another set of shoes hitting the floor.  The sound was getting louder and louder, until Beth zoomed past Yew and I.

"Wind power, suckers!"  She hisses out with a chuckle.  She finishes the laps first.   I finish second and Yew finishes third.  Us three collapse on the bleachers and wait for everyone else to finish.  

Once the last few people complete their laps they come over and join us at the rows of seats.  The gym teacher claps.

"Good job on using your powers, guys.  It's a great way of practicing."  He gives a few claps. "Alright, now were gonna vote.  Basketball, or football." 

 Everyone begins calling out their votes, everyone trying to talk louder to get their vote noticed.  He calms the class down before continuing.

 "Votes on football?"  He calls out.  More than half the class raises their hands in the air.  "Football it is then."

Oh god, here we go.
