Is this teacher horrible or was my middle school teacher just awsome? William thinks as he checks over his eigth grade notes on this subject, jotting down a couple new things down as the teacher talks about them, and answering any questions he can that the teacher asks the class. Then he sees the teacher stop teaching, take out a horn, and walk back towards the music-blasting-hot-car-screeching-breaks person and blows it in her ear.
rich people, think they know everything , at least I don't have to spend a great deal of time with her, just first period... hopefully

Gwen tosses a note back to Alex as soon as Mr Gray turns his back.

Alex
You hack? Very cool I'll try to get you some stationary for passes.
Hacking and forgery are both felonies, you know. You trying to corrupt the cop's daughter?
-Gwen

She quickly returns her attention to the class, obviously more absorbed than her narcoleptic friends. Her desk quickly fills with papers and books, almost oblivious to those around her.

HONK!

Gwen jumps, sending her pens scattering across the floor. Smiling at Matt and Mercedes' embarrassment, she passes her notes over to Matt.

"Nope, we've still got a fair way to go." she quietly adds to Mercedes. "But I'll let you borrow my notes if you like."

"Are you a *Chomsky?" Mercedes asked Gwen with a friendly smile on her lips. "Because I don't speak his kind of native." Her dark eyes sparkled with mirth and tilted her head to indicate the British teacher droning on in front. "Are those real words he's using? Or is he pulling a Shakespeare?"

*Noam Chomsky, the most famous living linguist

IF Nobody falls asleep again, Mr. Gray will just ramble on about the Incans. He will close with this:

"Well, that was our first lesson this year. I hope I haven't been too strict, and that nobody got any permanent hearing damage. Just a note to let you know I've been where you are only a little while ago, and although I may not look like it, I know every trick in the book. I would like all of you to type out the notes you made during this lesson and hand them in next lesson.

This is not for a grade, but it will affect the view I will get of you. If you, for one reason or another wasn't able to take ALL the notes, don't trouble yourself with asking your fellow students, because I've seen who was taking notes and who wasn't.

Class Dismissed!"

Gary (I will refer to him as Gary in his spare time and as Mr. Gray when he's acting like a teacher) will then go to the teachers lounge and get aquainted with the other teachers.

 

[GWolf]

Felonies, heh, those are for ameatuers!

Alex nods at the note, and is barely bothered by the loud sound of the horn.

 

[Jarval]

"Real as far as I know, but I'd want to check a few of them before I put money on it." She shoulders her bag as she gets up from her desk.

"I'll give you a copy of my notes later. You got Study Hall after lunch? Even if Mr Gray doesn't want them, he might start asking questions." Gwen mock-shudders, returning Mercedes' smile. "I doubt the ever popular pop-quiz has gone out of favour..."

 

[Corlon]

I'm not a fan of shakespeare either, but he does use real words

"Can't wait until lunch," William says to himself.

 

[Shalimar]

"Can I borrow them too Gwen?" Matt asks with another embarresed smile. "Hopefully he gets a clue, I mean he isn't that old, If you dressed him right he would look almost normal." He adds while sliding his bag over a shoulder.

"I'm Matt by the way." he says by way of introduction to Mercedes as he waits for Alex and Gwen to acompany him to bio.

OOC: oh I'll explain this since Corlon didn't seem to get it. "Pulling a Shakespeare" = Shakespeare liked to make up words in his plays. Thousands of words have made it into mainstream usage that he just made up. What Mercedes is suggesting is that Mr. Grey is making up words like Shakespeare did. Incidently it is also what Joss Whedon does when he comes up with his Buffy-Slang like "salty-goodness". Okay the English major in me will be quiet now...hehe....


IC:

"I'd love a copy of your notes," Mercedes replied gratefully to Gwen as she stuffed her things back into her backpack. "Its just so hard to be back in school after a great summer, you know?"

"Oh, I'm Mercedes, Mercedes Tran," she added belatedly and then stretched out her hand for him to take but Alexandra coughed from behind her, trying to get her to move along with them and leave the social lepers behind.

 

[Jarval]

"No problem. After all, that's what they invented the photocopier for, right? And no panic, Matty, you'd already got a copy heading your way."

Gwen fades towards Biology, leaving Matt at the mercies of the cheerleaders.

Not that he'd mind...


OOC: Corlon/William, not ignoring you, we've just not been introduced yet. We should be able to catch up at lunch, if not before.
