Senior Year

Will strode through the hallways, headphones blaring loud music to block out the loud obnoxiousness of all the jocks in the school. As he shofted the weight of the bags on his shoulders he felt his drumsticks click in his back pocket and the guitar on his back slide to a more comfortable position. As he strode through he finally pulled one earphone out as he walked through the crowds. He had never been really messed with by the jocks but they had made fun of him for being a geed and nerd as they called it. "As if... music will take me farther than they ever will..." He grunted to himself, turning down the next hallway and seeing one of his few friends and drum major in the band, Des. "Morning..." He called as he passed her.

 

Matthew stood at his lcker trying to review what he heard on the anoucements especially the one with Matt. "Alright he is going to get a talk to that bastard of jock, abusing his powers" He sais when he noticed that his locker was right next to Des's. "Well hello Des our lockers are now close to each other do you wanna know more about me as i want to know more about cause you seem well mannered. I would want to ask you something but now he timing is not right" Matthew said getting his gym cloths and other materials he might need and heeded towards the gymnaisum.

 

"Dammit!" Leah ran down the hallway, unzipping her jacket and pulling off her bookbag at the same time. She was late, on the first day, and it was all her mother's fault. Her mom took forever in the shower, making Leah miss the bus, and forcing her to bike to school since her mother was unable to give her a ride. Leah only caught the last bit of the morning announcements which let her know that first period hadn't started yet. She threw her backpack and belongings into her locker, immediately grabbed her gym uniform and booked it to the locker room.

 

Marissa was currently sitting on one of the benchs in the hallway listening to her iPod, with sketchbook in hand, and watching the students converse amongst themselves. She slowly brought her mechanical pencil over a line she had previously made and began to darken it followed by a little shading. A little while ago she had met up with her friends and they had hung out around the entrance of the school, they claimed it was warmer outside than it was inside, and they were right. Why the principal thought it was so necessary to keep the damn school freezing was as good as anyone else's guess. Shortly after meeting up with them, she had a sudden urge for some "me time" so she said her goodbyes and sought out a place she could just relax but still be "in the loop" in case a fight broke out or if it was time to go to her next class.
As she began adding and tracing over more lines, she heard a weird background noise that was invading her perfect sanctum of music. Slightly annoyed, she took out one of her ear buds and quickly discovered that the intrusion was caused by the start of the morning announcements. Marissa sighed to herself as she knew that it was time to go. Quickly placing her things in her bookbag and putting the ear bud back in but turning off the music, she immediately made a b-line for her locker, laughing along the way when she heard what Matt Johns had said.
Upon reaching her locker, she opened it and pulled out her gym clothes and slammed the locker door shut, making sure to turn the dial before she left so as to make it close to impossible to get in. She turned around and began her journey towards the gym while pulling her phone out to check out the time.

"Hm, 5 minutes, plenty of time" she mumbled to herself as she slowed her pace, turned her music back on, and allowed herself to be lost in the sea of students.

 

Pat was excited, he was a senior at last! He went to his locker and listened to announcements. When he heard Matt's shout out to Des he couldn't contain his laughter. "When will that kid finally realize Des doesn't like him." He thought about evil things he could do to the jock but decided against it. "If I don't act mature then Des won't love me either. Though I doubt someone as popular as Des would fall for a low class artist like me." He sighed and got his things ready for his first class.

 

Zak ran through the front door holding his skateboard. He found his locker and shoved the board and his backpack in it. He then heard the announcments. "Yup senior year, this is either gonna suck or... BLOW OUR FRIKIN MINDS AWAY!" He thought while taking out his gym bag, while looking at his schedule. He saw Destiny Armstrong stride down the halls with an annoyed face. That's when he remebered the shout out from Matt. "Hmph..." he thought as replayed the corny shout out in his head. He started walking towards the gym, anxious to see what sport they would play first, hoping it would be baseball.

 

Pat entered the locker room and didn't say a word to anyone, Rey was yelling at him to do something to Matt if he wanted Des for himself. "You know I'm not that kind of person Rey." Pat whispered. "Yeah well I am, and if you don't do something, then I will!" And with that Rey returned to a resting state deep within Pat. "What am I going to do? If Rey does something I might get expelled, and Des will never love me, or like me for that matter." Holding back his tears, he changed into his gym clothes and exited the locker room.

 

Matthew walked into the gynasium's . "Damn it where the hell is he i need to tell him important information damn it and before i forget i might recite it "you now have a student concil warning for abusing your powers. The next time i catch you abusing your powers i might make a complaint to the princpal about you and make a recommedation for a person to take your spot, not a good way to start off the year Matt" Matthew said walking towards the changing room and changing into his gym cloths and walking towards Gym class.

 

Zak walked through the gym doors and inhaled. "Ahhh... the sweat, pain, and tears of the gym!" he said cheerfully and sarcastically. He jogged across the basketball court into the Men's locker room, even though some of the freshmen still looked like little boys. He walked in got changed, and sprinted back to the gym and looked at the teacher. He was early, like he was to most his classes.

"How are you today Mr. Williams?" Zak asked him.

"Fine. Early as always huh?" the teacher responded.

"That's the way I like it sir!" Zak replied sitting on the floor legs straight out. He inhaled again, and looked towards the door to see more students coming in.

OOC:
Roxel you beating on Matt is powerplaying...
And Destiny is it ok that i named the Teacher XD

 

Leah entered the girl's locker room and got changed into her gym uniform. She saw some girls she was aquainted with including Des getting changed as well. She said "hello" to everyone and joined in the typical "How was your summer?" banter. Except this past summer was different, it was the last summer they would have as high school students, the summer before college would be like no other summer before it, but that's still pretty far in the future Leah thought, no sense in thinking about it now. Leah locked up her belongings and proceeded into the actual gymnasium to hear what the teacher had in store for the class today.

 

Will slammed his locker shut as he slung his gym bag over his shoulder and headed towards the gym. He slowly strode towards the gym as the bell rattled loudly above him. "Oh god, that's another lap around the track for that." He chuckled, turning down the hallway towards the gym. He was always late to this class, and sometimes didn't even show because he didn't feel like dealing with the teacher. As he strode into the room he grinned at the teacher. "Morning Teach..." He said, striding right past him. The teacher looked at him and opened his mouth to speak but Will spoke before him. "I know, three laps around the gym as soon as possible." He said, entering the locker room.

 

Marissa decided to slow down her pace and just enjoy the walk to the gym, she wasn't in any hurry. When she appeared at the gym entrance, she was greeted by none other than coach Williams. He was telling off some guys who had decided not to dress out but none of em were really listening. Growing frustrated at the realization he was just arguing with brick walls, he dismissed them to do laps. Mumbling under his breath, he turned around and gave an involuntary screech which came out like some gargling nose.

"Gah, don't do that!!", he yelled

Marissa just laughed as she removed her ear buds and placed them in the pockets of her jacket.

"Anyways, your late and you know what that means?" he asked with a knowing smile.

"3 laps around te gym, yeah I know" Marissa answered, returning the smile.

"Well hurry up and get changed and do those laps. I'm about to start class"

Marissa responded with a slight nod and made her into the girls locker room. To say that Marissa was excited about gym was an understatement, she was pumped!! She absolutely loved the class. It let her jump around and act like one her favorite Anime characters and for some odd reason, the physical exertion always helped give birth to new ideas for her art and she wasn't complaining.*She quickly changed and locked her stuff up in the gym locker, and proceeded to the gym to begin her laps.

"Wonder what were doing today", she mumbled to herself as she completed her first lap.

 

Pat was cracking up when he saw Des shut down Matt and fell on the floor laughing when he heard Ian's comment. He slowly regained his composure and walked over to Ian. "Hey Ian nice comment back there, if Matt comes after you find me. I'll be happy to put him in his place." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Also, if you could meet me after last period near the front entrance to the school we'll talk more then." With that Pat walked over and sat against the wall waiting for class to start.

 

Leah read the board and groan in disappointment, she hated running! She didn't hate exercising, she wasn't a lazy couch potatoe or anything, but she didn like running because she thought she ran like a duck. Leah was tall standing at 5'10" so everyone expected her to be good at sports, Des was always trying to recruit her for the basketball team since freshman year but she always refused, it was bad enough to have to run in gym class, but having to run up and down a basketball court with a gym full of screaming fans watching was definitely out of the question. Leah began her 5 lap warm up, purposely running slower than she was capable of to try and divert anyone who happened to be watching her stride.
