Meet Teddy (Teardrop), a nonverbal girl starting high school. Despite her introverted nature, she's going to find herself connected to the centers of drama in the new high school. Between her two childhood friends (one of which has an evil twin), a...
The next class was PE. It took place in the gym, which the sophomores, who had it last period, were just leaving.
"Oh! Dora! Come here!" A familiar voice called out. It was the girl who sat in front of Dora during the previous class. Dora looked at Teddy, unsure if she should go, to which Teddy just shrugged. In the end, the two walked over to the girl.
"So, my name is Sawyer, but that 's not important. Anyway, this is my friend Talia. She speaks Spanish too."
"Hola Dora," Talia said casually.
"Hola. Mucho gusto." Dora replied.
The two Spanish speakers continued to converse before a tall girl with black hair approached them.
"There you are, Talia!" the raven haired girl said. "I've been looking all over! You know we should be heading to math right now." The girl then paused and turned to Sawyer. "And Sawyer, what are you doing still outside the gym? You need to get to class too."
Lola just sighed and grabbed Talia by the arm. "Come on; let's go to class and just hope Professor Four is in a good mood today."
"Four? In a good mood?" Talia laughed. "That's never going to happen!"
Lola merely sighed and pulled her along to their next class.
"Bye, Talia! Bye, Lola!" Sawyer yelled, waving at the two upperclassmen. Talia waved back, but Lola didn't even turn around. Sawyer chuckled. She turned back to Teddy and Dora. "Though, I suppose Lola's right. We really should be getting to class."
As they walked into the gym, they saw a ginger man with a whistle around his neck. He was giving a lecture to the freshman class, who was sitting on the floor.
"Do not have sex!" The gym teacher yelled. "You will get pregnant and die!"
"...What is this? Mean Girls?" A voice from the back of the crowd yelled out. The class snickered and the gym teacher just sighed and turned towards Teddy, Dora, and Sawyer.
"Oh uh, come in," the gym teacher said. "What are your names?" He asked, grabbing a clipboard off the table.
Teddy was about to click on the preset full name on her AAC App when Sawyer suddenly answered.
"I'm Sawyer Carpenter. This is Teddy, erm, Theodora Waters." She gestured to Teddy before gesturing to Dora. "And this is Dora... uh, what's your last name Dora?"
"Yo soy Dora Sanchez."
"Her name is Dora Sanchez."
"Okay, well, I'm Coach Firman Eld, but Coach Firman will do," the ginger man said. "Anyways, I was just giving out a very important sex Ed lecture so that none of you kids end up like my son."
"...your son got pregnant?" asked a curious girl in the back row, who Teddy recognized as Ruby from her introduction speech last period.
As the people in the class snickered, Coach Firman sighed. "You know what, everyone drop down and give me 20 push-ups! Now!" He blew his whistle.
Teddy hurriedly put her phone into her tote bag, which she put on a bench by the floor. Then, she got down and got started on those 20 push-ups, counting them in her mind.
one
two
three
four
As she continued with the push-ups, she saw Dora stand up out of the corner of her eye.
As Teddy saw Dora get on the floor for a second time, she shook her head and tried to focus more on her own push-ups. However, she was distracted by seeing Dora finish even quicker than the first time.

"Wow, how do you..." Coach Firman started, "Hey! The rest of you still need to finish your push-ups! Nothing to see here! Now go on!"
Teddy quickly averted her eyes as she finished her push-ups and the class continued.
After class was over and everyone changed out of their gym clothes, Teddy grabbed her bag from the bench and pulled out her phone. She was planning on asking Dora about her ability to complete the push-ups in such a short time, but it looked like Sawyer beat her to it.
"Wow, Dora! That was GREAT! How did you do it so fast?"
Dora simply shrugged.
"Wow, I wish I had your athletic skill," Sawyer sighed, before pausing. "Though I am curious. What did Coach Firman mean about his son?"
"Oh, you mean Ferris?" a voice nearby asked. The three girls turned to see a girl with long blonde hair running to catch up with the group. Once she fell in pace with the group, she continued. "He apparently got this older girl pregnant a few years back. The kid looks exactly like his dad. His name is Ferris Jr and apparently he sneaks into this school through his Dad's backpack."
"Wait, the coach's son is Ferris?" the voice from Teddy's phone spoke out. "The Ferris who always argues with Connor?"
"Yeah. Why, do you know him?"
Teddy shook her head. Technically, she didn't. But considering that Leah's been crushing on him hard since second grade, she's heard enough about him. Come to think about it, she did remember Leah worrying about the ginger's long absence from school a few years back.
"Oh," the blonde girl said. "I only know this because I'm friends with Lou. By the way, my name's Ellie."
"WAIT!" Sawyer suddenly screamed. As the girls all turned to Sawyer, she pointed at the classroom door in front of them. "Say your final goodbyes."
Teddy raised an eyebrow. Seeing this, Sawyer swallowed nervously and explained.
"This is Professor Four's class."
Author's Note:
Thanks for making it this far! Sorry if this seems kinda rushed. You know that feeling when you're writing a semi filler part and you're like "please I just want to write that one scene but I know I have to write this scene first or else there'll be plot holes." Uh, yeah, the gym part was kinda that for me :P I actually kind of forgot what gym is like because our school doesn't have gym class so uh I kinda winged this, ha...
In case it isn't clear:
Sawyer is Saw, Talia is Taco, and Lola is Lollipop.
Coach Firman is Firey Speaker Box (Yes in this AU the contestant's speaker box is the parent of their contestant.)
Ferris and Ferris Jr are Firey and Firey Jr respectively.
