The big BANG!!! (Not the theory)

[krispey]

Brandon stood, hands behind his back. He pulled back, and then up, stretching his arms, before dropping them to the sides. "Okay, Hello my lovely students!" He said, his deep voice carrying a truly, yet sarcastic cheerfull tone to it. About Fifteen students surrounded him in a rather large circle. Most of them were cross-legged, besides the ones who rested their heads on their shoulders, legs infront of them. Or the ones who layed on their stomachs, chin resting in their palms. Brandon smiled, flashing his pearlious set of teeth.

"You can call me Mister West. I will be your physical education teacher. So right now, Im going to tell you abit about me and my rules:

When I'm talking, no talking.
I allow no gum chewing. When you come into my classroom, leave your problems at the door, or else you'll find yourseld running a few laps around this gym. When you are assigned a task, you are to complete it with no complaints, or you'll just have to do it again.
Now, I'm a pretty easy-going person, and I can be sympathetic at times, just don't take advantage of it."

"I don't want to hear the words 'I can't' come out of your mouth, or you'll be I can'ting the whole thing over again. I'm easily frustrated, so just bear with me. Feel free to come and talk to me anytime though, as I can be a friend as well as a teacher. I'm also not going to spend too much time babbling on about pointless rules; You guys know what's right and wrong....At least I hope you do."

He had been pacing around the entire time, before shortly coming to an abrupt hault. He then clasped his hands together, sending an echoing noise throught the gym.

"I Love to come in with a big bang, so for your first task, I'm going to have all of you climb the ropes located to the south of the gym." He pointed, a smile amongst his face, ignoring all of the moans and groans of the students.

"I just want to see where you guys are as far as fitness goes, now off to the ropes!" He watched as the students made their way back to the ropes, picking his clip board which held his roster and grading sheet on it up off the floor, and headed back that way as well.

MoAnna sighed as she passed by room after room. The gym had to be here somewhere.. Ah! Big room.. Duh. She mentally smacked her forhead as she walked into the spacious room. Only about ten had made it there by the time she got there. She changed with the rest of them, glad to have made it on time. Her first day late? Ha! Been through that before, and it is humiliating.

She sat in an easy stance, one leg thrown out in front of her, the other bent at the knee turned inward toward her other leg. She leaned back with both palms open on the cold floor. Her gaze swung easily toward the other members of her gym class, but she tiredly turned her sights back on the teacher. The other students were none of her concern. Not right now anyway. Now she just wanted to get through her first day of school.

After the bell rang there were, on average, fifteen students in the class. The teacher began his little, "Do's and Don't's lecture, all of which MoAnna agreed with. When he ordered the students to climb the ropes, MoAnna unfolded her long legs and stood up slowly. She brushed herself off and walked over to the ropes. Everyone else was balking, so she walked straight up to it and placed her hands on it. She was much better at running, but what the hey, she was pretty strong. So she started to climb.

Hollie made it to the gym after studying the map by the school office for about 10 minutes, trying to get all the classes that she had today down. It was pretty simple, seeing as she had a double period, and the classes were mostly on the second floor. Her hair bounced behind her as she had jogged down the hallway. At least, the hair that wasn't help support the weight of books and bags on her back. Her eyes darted around the halls, getting a feel for the place. Classic school, what with the tiled floors andwhite-washed concrete brick walls. And yet at the same time nostalgic. It distracted her from the years at war.

Hollie had gone to a school for the 9-ish year period after the war, but in a different town, and she didn't like the school at all. There was one group of kids that she fit into. Less like a clique, and more like a circle of friends, the thing that brought these kids together was their gifts, kept secret from the rest of the world. It didn't give her a feeling of home, however, like her school before the war had. And, evidently, this school as well.

Hollie had made it to the gym a few minutes early, and managed to go change into gym clothes before the class started. This was unexpected because of the impossible amount of time she had spent at the school map. She sat down with some girls and had some fun discussing which certain famous people should die in a few select fires and deathmatches. Then the teacher began, with a "do's and don'ts", which mostly consisted of common sense. Then, he mentioned the ropes. Hollie was excited, although she sucked at gym. She went because she wanted to get fitter. Maybe...with her powers...she could get ahead? Only by a little! Not too much...that would be cheating. Hollie giggled in her deviousness, a rare display, and bounced over to the ropes.

Hollie saw the other girl climbing, and beat someone else to another rope and began climbing herself. Long story short, she was horrible. She gritted her teeth, and her hair started flailing in anger. Hollie kept climbing, however slow, and occasionally, made a strand of hair help her out. Barely noticable. And, technically, if it were a real life situation, cheating wouldn't matter. But this wasn't cheating, Hollie convinced herself. She continued, and her arms became a little more used to the concept, and her hair calmed down a little. She would try and continue without cheating. Maybe she'd accomplish something! Fun.
