Phoenix High- Slymau

Chapter 6

Aphmau's POV

Garroth and I walked into history together. I watched everyone sit wherever and was about to ask where I was to sit when Garroth pulled me over to two of the desks which were next to each other, near the back.

"In Mr. Cookie's class, we get to sit wherever we want and it can be a different seat every day," He explained.

I only gave a nod of my head before Mr. Cookie stood from his desk and began explaining, "For today, please start memorizing the first paragraph of the Declaration of Independence."

Most people in the class gave a grunt at this while he continued, "You have," a pause for drama, "one week to do it. You also have three errors, good luck." He sat down while I turned to Garroth, reading the sheet he had given us over once.

I'm so glad I can remember things easily, "Want me to go first? I mean we have to start somewhere..."

He cocked an eyebrow before agreeing, "If you want to. I could always go first."

I shook my head, "Nah, I think I have most of it down," he gave me a nod as if to continue, I suck in a breath before starting, "When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another," pause for breath, "and to assume among the powers of the Earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and Nature's God entitle them," how does Adam go so long without breath? "a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes to which impel them to the separation." That took some time and I'm out of breath but oh well.

I look up to see a shocked blond, "How'd you manage that? We've only had the sheet for 5 minutes!"

I shook my head and let some laughs leak out, "Good memory and tactics. Those pauses help."

I watch him start laughing with me before the bell rings, "Lunch! Finally! Food, here I come!"
