Liam walked down the hallway to his classroom, his worn and beaten down briefcase and his Irish walking stick both held in his left hand, his white coffee mug in his right hand. He reached his classroom and fumbled with the doorknob, managing to open it, and walked into the dark classroom, flicking the lights on. He placed his briefcase down on his desk and leaned his Irish walking stick up against the leg area of his desk, hiding it from view, and took a sip from his coffee mug, sitting down in his comfortable teacher's chair, as he waited for the students in his class to arrive. He leaned back in his comfortable teacher's chair as he heard the bell ring. That was the signal to students that class was going to start, and to those who were scrambling to get to class pronto. Or face the consequences. He placed his coffee mug down on his desk, which was located at the front of the room, he would be able to see every student who walked into his class, and spot those who thought they could get away with fooling around or sleeping in this class. He then picked up the student list that he was given, his eyes scanning down the list.

1. Lee Seung-Kyun
2. Kwon Kiyong
3. Feht
4. Ira Seran
5. Mekiel Echigo
6. Patrick O'Connor
7. Shane Westley
8. Cael Seran

He had quite a bit planned for this class, they would be reading some books he himself had read when he was in high school, as well as Shakespeare. He had dozens of soft cover books of the play he would be having the class experience in the book room in the back, and as soon as the class was informed of what they would be doing for this class, he would have them go and pick up a copy of the play from the back room. He then reached into his briefcase and pulled out his binder with all the course material in it as well as photocopies of the course outline on his desk. He then stood up, and walked to the white board behind him, pulled out the marker, and began to write his name down on the board, "Mr. McKenzie." He then turned around, and sat back down in his chair, and waited for the students to arrive.

[Kazumi O'Connor]

Weeeeeeee!!!!!!! Today was her first class...Like her first ever...OFFICIAL class! She was kind of excited. Why was she taking classes? Well she figured she would do so to blend in...all ninja like and stuff. Oh! Or like one of those lizards that could look like a leaf or a tree or whatever.

Yush! She was going to be...blendy! Because yeah....Feht...was cool like that. Complete in her special outfit, she was ready to learn! Learn what? Well she had no freaking clue, but everyone else seemed to do it, so she would too. Besides, it wasn't like it could be that hard right? It was just....learning and from what she read on Google, that was fairly easy to do if you were smart...And well...Feht was smart. Yes siree! She was one smart cookie!

A little giggle escaping her as her fingers fluttered over her skirt, making sure it was all adjusted and what not, wanting to, of course, look her best for this. She had to fit in.

Be stealthy.

Be invisible.

Be.....cool.

Easy right?! She thought so. Those shiny, pretty new shoes clicking against the floor as she bounced her way through the door and into class. This was going to be fun....and from what Google had told her.....all she had to do was sit down and behave. Shame that she never thought to look up what behave actually meant. But whatever!!

She would simply bounce her way past the person already in the room....Figure he was that...umm....That...uh....Teacher! Yeah that was it! TEACHER!! A little glance given with those black eyes before she found a desk in the middle and plopped down, putting her notebook out in front of her.....complete with a pretty pink pencil!

She......was ready!!

Seung-Kyun bounced down the hallway, his backpack slung over his right shoulder and both Once he reached the classroom, he walked in, and stopped to read the name on the board. He then turned and headed towards the two rows of desk/seat combination located in the middle, in front of the teacher's desk, and was the second one to arrive. Aside from the teacher, the only other occupant of the room was a girl he didn't know. "Good morning Mr. McKenzie." Seung-Kyun said to the teacher, as he made his way to his seat and sat down in the third seat in the left row.

He then pulled out his binder and pencil bag that he had used back in his two previous high schools, and placed his backpack down on the ground before leaning back in his chair. He would've talked to the girl in the class, except she didn't seem interested in anything else, so instead of trying to strike up a conversation, only to end up with awkward silence, Seung-Kyun decided to just stick to doing his own thing, and wait for class to begin. Pulling his headphones hanging around his neck on, Seung-Kyun then pulled out his cellphone and turned his music on, the volume low enough that it wouldn't disturb his classmates, but loud enough that he could hear it.

[Cael Seran]

Typical now of Cael Seran he was tactfully going to arrive late. Instead of going directly to class when the bell rang he sat outside collectively playing with his toy's necklace fixing it around her neck and giving a little bit of a tug here and there.

"Now don't you take this of, understand."

His brows would incline upwards giving a little flexing gesture of his eyes making them bulge out threateningly. Despite Cael's trainings with his father he wasn't above hitting a woman for being disobediant. It was more of a matter of pecking order, and he was at the top. Margret would nod softly, her eyes never leaving his as she somewhat drolled at the anticipation of his touch.

"Good Girl.."

Now.. sit... stay... roll over..

A soft chuckle before leaning back onto the table laying back. Cael would go to class.... eventually.

[thekid]

Today was one of those days where I just sort of felt like looking fancy. So I did. I dunno, I guess it was just sort of a reflection of my mood, and I was in a good mood, so... good dress? Sure.

As I walked into the classroom, I'd nod at the teacher and pretty much instantly find a spot to sit. I didn't really have a reason to stand the whole period. The only problem I'd come across would be finding a seat that I could fit into. This damn school and its catering to small children... I'd end up sitting directly to the right of the Asian kid. He was probably really smart, huh?

[Ira Seran]

Ira would walk along the hallway as Miranda held tightly to her books. Normally Ira would take her time with getting to class... but seeing as how this was an English class it was as if her mother had kept a tab on it making sure she went. Ira felt she didn't need to learn French given the only people she cared about remotely were fully capable of speaking French... every one else she could give two shits about.

She entered the room silently as her eyes scanned every student who had been present. First she saw her cousin wearing a ridiculous outfit that would earn a roll of Ira's green eyes... next was some Asian kid whom she never met nor cared to do so and finally a blonde guy...who he too... she could care less...

But she would walk in front of the two boys giving them both a smile and a wink before she took the seat in front of them while Miranda sat down next to her.

"If you don't mind, Mr. McKenzie, I stay here with Ira? I'm her tutor of sorts as well as help her with the whole English barrier... I know that's your job, but she is a Fre-"

"Be quiet." Ira couldn't understand the speech Miranda was reciting, but it was her attitude and the pitch of her voice that was getting on Ira's nerves... Something about the peppy little spit-fuck was so God damn annoying.

[Legion]

English. A class that Patrick always found rather annoying, though he could never pinpoint an exact reason. Maybe it was idiotic interpretations on poems, maybe it was the teachers that always seemed to be rather high strung, who knew? Needless to say Patrick wasn't exactly happy that he happened need this class to move on. While he enjoyed reading, not exactly a well practiced hobby but still, he wasn't a fan of being told to read and exam everything about the reading. Perhaps something about making the text mechanical through picking it apart, when the text should be organic. Whatever.

Regardless Patrick would actually walk into this class, on time, and actually prepared with a notebook and pen in hand. Sure, he hadn't received his materials for the class but he had materials to "learn". First thing he noticed on arrival was Kazumi, or rather Feht, according to the style of dress and perhaps foremost her eyes. That was concerning, at the very least it would be interesting, though nothing showed on Patrick's face as he took a seat behind her. Every intention of playing babysitter if something should things get out of hand.

Patrick's face went into his hand, looking on in anticipation for class to start in a bored, but attentive stare...

[Elijah Graham]

Shane came dashing down the hallway towards the classroom, his backpack and hoodie flying behind him, as he came to a screeching halt in front of the door, nearly overshooting it and almost colliding into a nearby garbage container. Quietly slipping into the classroom, Shane would nod politely at Mr. McKenzie, before heading towards the two rows of desk/seat combination located in the middle, in front of the teacher's desk, recognizing all but three people of the group of student that were already in the classroom.

Grinning cheerfully at Ira as he passed by her and her translator person... girl... whatever, he'd give Patrick a slight nod of his head, acknowledging the School Captain, and grin at Mekiel before he sat down in the second seat in the right row, in front of his fellow Pillar. He pulled out his binder and pencil bag, and placed them on top of the desk, and placed his backpack down on the ground.

Yawning widely, Shane casually folded his arms across his chest, his feet resting on the back legs of the desk in front of him. That's right, the Varsity Captain was already bored, and class hadn't even started yet. At least he wasn't the last person to enter the classroom, having passed by Cael in his mad dash to get to class, as he waited until class started... whenever that was.

[william]

As Liam sat in his chair, resting his feet on his desk, he saw the students of his class walk in. He watched the students file in, mostly one at a time. First to come in was a girl dressed in... rather interesting clothes, he wasn't sure whether to think she wanted to dress to match her enthusiasm to learn, or just liked to costume play. Either way, he'd watch her plop down in a seat near the middle, notebook and pencil at the ready. Next to walk in was a somewhat tall Korean boy, Liam giving him a nod of acknowledgement as the boy sat down in the two rows of desks in front of his desk before flipping his earphones on, the tall Student Body President taking a seat on the right of the Korean boy.

Next to come in was a blond haired girl accompanied by another girl, the blond girl smiling and winking at the two boys before the two of them took a seat in front of them. Just as he opened his mouth to respond, Ira spoke to her tutor/translator/monkey before he could even answer. Closing his mouth, he'd simply nod at the girl, indicating it was alright. After Ira and her tag along came two more boys, one the School Captain himself, and the other a Korean, that made a total of what? Two Korean students in his class? After the Korean boy, came the Varsity Captain who looked out of breath, what did he do, run the 100-meter dash? With his class mostly filled up, one student absent, or just decided to be fashionably late, he decided it was time to start the class. He got off his chair, picked up his class list and walked in front of his desk, facing his students, his arms folded across his chest, as he took the attendance.

"Lee Seung-Kyun
Kwon Kiyong
... Feht...?
Ira Seran
Mekiel Echigo
Patrick O'Connor
Shane Westley
Cael Seran.

I assume none of ye boys are Cael Seran, ye don't look French to me."

Placing his list back on his desk, he'd scan across the room, taking in everyone's faces.

"Now, ye all should be here for English, if ye're not, then ye're in the wrong classroom, and I suggest ye find your correct class. English. If ye happen to have the belief that it will be boring because English seems to go hand in hand with poetry and Shakespeare, well, I'll prove ye wrong. If ye are late, I suggest ye bring me a cup of coffee. I don't mind if ye are late a few minutes, but if it happens repeatedly or ye walk in very late, with only a couple minutes before the bell rings, no amount of coffee will prevent me from punishing ye. Now then, I am yer English teacher, Mr. William McKenzie, though feel free to call me Liam or Will or any other nickname ye can possibly think of.

He then reached behind him and began to hand out the course outline.

"Has everyone received one? Good. Now, as ye can see on the outline, I will be teaching ye Shakespeare, Othello. I will also be teaching ye a novel, Brave New World. I will not make ye write essays everyday, but I do expect ye to write two essays as assignments."

Liam then moved back to the front of his desk, and leaned against it.

"Ye will have 3 tests, two are from the material ye will read, and the last one is yer final exam, but that won't come for quite some time. Now, as ye can see, the play won't come yet. I believe ye shouldn't be subjected to Shakespeare so early in the course. We'll be starting with Brave New World, so yer brains won't have to think so hard, this book has no thou's and thee's, it's all normal English, but the vocabulary is rather advanced, so a dictionary might be handy to have."

Before Liam would send the students to get their book, he would look up.

"Are there any questions? Speak now, or forever hold yer peace."

[Kazumi O'Connor]

She was trying to pay attention. She really was. But her mind just kept going everywhere BUT what he was trying to talk to them about. Shakespeare huh? Well she had never head of that dude or anything to do with him...but she wrote the name down just the same so she could Google it later.

Then as the piece of paper was handed out, Feht would giggle rather excitedly. Yay! Arts and crafts time! Her little hands going about taking the piece of paper and folding it around here and there, tucking in corners and all that good stuff until she was left with....THIS!!!



Now...if she just had another one, she could make a cow too...then she would have a little farm on her desk! It would be so cool! But then her mind got distracted as the teacher person asked if they had any questions. A little gasp as her hand shot up into the air. She had a question and she had even learned that you were supposed to raise you hand before you asked.

Of course, she missed the part where you had to wait to be acknowledged before you asked the question...so she didn't wait for him to call on her, and just blurted out the question right away. "I have a question!!" A little giggle escaping her as she shifted anxiously in her seat, not liking that Kazumi's boyfriend was seated right behind her, though pretending she didn't notice him....Yep yep! If she did that, then maybe he would go away.

Wait...she was doing something.......Oh yeah! "Are you always this boring!?" Question asked, her hand would fall back to her desk. Yes, that was a legit question, or so she thought, and the sad part was.........she was totally serious in asking it. Cause she was pretty sure if he said yes...she might actually fall asleep at some point....Okay, so not likely, but still! [/i]

[Cael Seran]

Cael grinned slowly strutting along the hallways managing to get to his door, the English classroom that is and linger there for a moment with his hand on the doorknob letting it linger there momentarily wavering battling the decision to actually partake in the class. He'd seen Ira's schedule and knew he could always copy off of her and not contend with the threat of being kicked out with Kevala taking care of conditions otherwise.

Cael would eventually bust in the door and linger there momentarily lean on the side-wall looking about not making eye contact with the teacher. A sly grin catching his sister and Kazumi making mention of the teacher being boring, ignoring the mention as he bravely strutt his way down the steps to his sister not taking her side but rather her tudor's.

"Hey Sexy legs, looking for a good time?"

Cael would lean up alongside her nudging her gently in the process ignoring the fact that Ira was there next to him. Hell it might have even been because of that fact. He'd met Miranda before, she'd been around the house quite awhile and he never quite could get her alone what with Ira's finger wrapped around her... or perhaps it was a sick leash.

[thekid]

The guy seemed pretty serious. He was trying a little hard, but I wouldn't get on his case for that. I didn't exactly like the whole, "I'll prove you wrong. We're reading Shakespeare," bit, but I didn't mind it too much. What I did mind was that Kazumi was already annoying.

I facepalmed. And, I kept my mouth shut. Didn't feel like starting anything right now... today was going to be a good day. I kept telling myself that, kind of in the hopes that I'd end up doing some crazy voodoo shit...

[Legion]

Yep, this class was shaping up to be a suck fest already. High strung teacher, who was going to try and prove that this class wasn't boring, but at the same time seemed like he was going to be a bit of a hardass. It honestly made Patrick wonder how he was going to turn out, though Patrick felt like there was going to be no in between with him. His money was on hardass, if only for the fact that this was an english class and those seemed to suck anyway. Though, he did say to call him anything? Yeah, Patrick was still biased as hell against english classes.

As the outline came out Patrick briefly looked over it, boredom pretty evident on his face. He noticed that Feht seemed to be doing something with her outline, but he couldn't quite tell what. Although it was only a minute or two into the class Patrick could already tell that this was going to be a long one. He was pretty sure that something would happen that would cause some sort of reaction, but he couldn't tell what yet. That only being confirmed when Feht asked the question. Yeah, he had the feeling that falling asleep wasn't something he'd be doing today, nor exactly learning either...

[eun]

Except for returning the smile and wink the blond girl gave him and the Student Body President with a small smile of his own, Seung-Kyun would mostly ignore the rest of the students that entered into the classroom after he had, not because he was being a selfish prick, but because he didn't know any of them per say... He did know the guy that had come in after the blond girl was the School Captain, but aside from the two Pillars, that was the about it. That is, until Kwon Ki Yong came walking in, that is.

Grinning at the sight of his best buddy, with one more student, the Varsity Captain, entering into the classroom... well, more like ran into the classroom, he'd pull his headphones off, letting them hang around his neck as he paused the song he had been listening to. The bell then rang, as Seung-Kyun sat up in his seat, his attention on Mr. McKenzie. After attendance was taken and the teacher introdued himself, course outlines were handed out, as Seung-Kyun took one, and just started to read through it, before his head jerked over to look behind him, did he hear right?

Looking over at Ki Yong and giving him one of those "WTH?" looks, Seung-Kyun honestly didn't know how to react. I mean, the girl sounded cheerful, but she seriously asked the teacher THAT question. Glancing back and forth between Mr. McKenzie and Feht, was it? Seung-Kyun just kept quiet and pretended the course outline was the most damn interesting thing in the entire world. He didn't need to get himself into unnecessary hot water...
