Hurricanes & Rockslides

[Deleted]

The day has just began as Wade began to erase his World History discussion off the board and began to get ready for his next class. Which is by far the easiest class there is to take unless you don't do your homework and don't pay attention in class. He wrote his name down again for just in case purposes. Wade looked through the text book as he waited for his students to arrive. It wasn't long until the bell rang and he put the book down and watched the door waiting to see who would walk through the door.

He very nicely said,"Good Morning" to each of his students as the walked through the doors. He waited until the tardy bell rang before going over to shut the door. Once the door was shut no one was allowed inside unless they had a very good reason to be late. He walked to the center of the classroom and leaned against his desk and crossed his arms and looked to the class, Morning class, I'm Mr. Harris and this is Geography."

He spoke nice and calm, This will be the easiest classes you will ever take, but if you don't do your work and don't participate in this class you can easily fail." He spoke with a stern voice so the students would understand that he was serious. Now, everyone think for a minute, as he walked to the board and began to write. " What is Geography?" was written on the board as he placed the dot under the question mark,Everyone give me your term of Geography and no looking in the book. he spoke with a side grin that he was giving them a hard time. Give me a keyword like, " Hurricanes" or " The Ecosystem". Something to that nature that has to do with geography." he stood at the board ready to write what each kid said.

[Serenity Oliver]

Serenity kissed her brother's cheek as they parted ways for their respective social science classes; her geography and him government. She shrugged off the looks she received from other people, knowing that some people thought of the close relationship between the siblings was a little strange, but after sharing a womb with someone for nine months and then the fifteen years of their life, it was hard not to feel close to her twin, even if he did tower over her.

she bowed her head and gave the teacher at the front of the room a smile before she walked across the room and took a seat near the front. The small gymnast then pulled the things she needed from her bag. Opening her notebook, she pulled out her coloured pencils and started creating a boarder of holly around the page.

She put the pencil she was using down as the teacher addressed the class and the lesson began. "Tectonic plates." She spoke up. There was some something about how the plates moved beneath the earth's surface that had always amazed her, as though they had a life of their own. And in some ways, she could also see them as being Mother Earth's way of punishing the Humans who needed reminding of who held the real power

[Athena Achilles]

Athena slipped her phone in her pocket and continued on her way down to the classroom she needed to be in. She wasn't quite sure what to think about the conversation she'd just had with her social worker. He had found a family that would offer her a home over the Christmas and new year, but she wasn't sure how much she trusted the man, knowing what all her previous foster homes had been like. However, she had no choice but to obey.

She walked into the classroom and quickly found her seat and pulled out the notebook and textbook for the class. She thoroughly enjoyed learning about the world and the people who lived in it. She looed up as the man, Mr Harris, started the class. She wet her lips as she thought about his question and wondered what part of the studies pulled her interest the most. "People." She spoke up, the confidence in her voice surprising her a little. Yes, most people thought the study of geography was about the land, but it was also about the people, and she liked studying people. As a foster brat, she had learned a lot about humanity, both sides of it, and she know knew that she had been born to the kind of people she never wanted to become.

[Stefan Eder]

Stefan frowned as a boy passing down the hall nearly mowed him down, only his quick step to the side saving him from a spill. What was it with these kids, bulling their way down the middle? Shaking his head, he hurried onward, finding his geography class without further incident, then stepped inside the classroom. With a nod to the teacher, he turned to the seats, shrugging and walking over to sit next to Serenity with a smile, "Good morning, again." They had, of course, seen one another during gymnastics practice, and he hoped it wasn't weird to sit next to her here... He didn't want to sit on his own.

As the teacher began class, he looked up, writing the teacher's name idly in the corner of his notebook, under the date and the subject. He didn't know what the teacher was trying to imply with his introduction, but he had no intention of not doing his work, so it didn't really matter to him. The class was asked about what geography was, and Stefan considered for a moment, letting two girls jump ahead of him in answering, then answered, "Biogeography, the study of species distribution across the earth, throughout time."

[Martijn van der Berg]

Martijn shouldered his backpack and pushed himself back into the throng of people, making his way through easily. He was glad to have taken the time to find his classes, as it gave him one less thing to worry about while he walked from class to class. As he entered the geography classroom, he smiled at the teacher, returning his greeting, before he looked around and chose a seat near the front of the room. Sure, he liked people, but he liked to get to know them, and putting himself in a position where he'd be tempted to talk wouldn't be a good start to his school career here.

As the teacher began speaking, he looked to the front, listening to Mr. Harris' introduction, before thinking about the various aspects of geography that he knew of. As he looked outside, where it was raining once more, he had his idea, and waited for his turn to speak, glad that none of the other students had taken what he was going to say, thus sending him back to rethink, "Meteorology, the study of the weather?" After all, weather was a part of the earth, and it played a big part in people's lives. No rain, no grass, no food for the horses, right?

Amber walked into the classroom.  She glanced at the teacher and at the other students.  She walked past Serenity and waved slightly, and then went and sat down next to Athena, with a slight smile.

She was nervous when the teacher asked a question and said that everybody had to answer.  She hated answering questions in class.  It was scary to have to speak in front of everybody and she was always worried that she would give a wrong answer or a stupid one and come off as a idiot.   

She listened to everybody's answers.  She thought that people and meteorology were good answers and so was biogeography, once the person explained what it was.  She had never heard to tectonic plates and wondered what that was.  She hated big confusing words that she didn't know because they made things so much harder then they needed to be.

Unfortunately she had to give an answer eventually.  When it got to her, she hesitated before nervously answering.  "Um... the world" she answered, worried that that answer might be too basic and come off as stupid.  She had almost said everything and wondered if that would have been a worse or better answer.

Meg was excited for her first class, and haphazardly threw a notebook and a couple of pencils into her backpack before pulling on her shoes and leaving her room. She hadn't had much time to unpack yet, so she was wearing the first pair of skinny jeans and blouse she'd managed to find in her suitcase, with her favorite pair of leather fashion boots. Double checking to make sure she really did have everything, she left her room and headed off to class, looking around at everything as she went. 

She almost got distracted a few times, but managed to make it to her class on time. She picked a desk towards the middle of the room, and looked up at the teacher attentively as he started class. She managed to pick out words he said, understanding that if she didn't do her work then she would fail. She also understood his instructions, but had to really think about it for a moment. A word to describe Geography? Words popped into her head, mountains, lakes, deserts, basically landscapes. That was what she thought of when she thought about Geography. "Um, Landscapes?" she supplied, a little hopefully. She hoped that was good enough for now, but really it was kinda a hard thing to define because of how many things it incorporated.

Shailie stood next to the wall in the hallway yanking her black, high-waisted pants up. Being stuck in between two different belt loops was beginning to drive her insane. Walking down the hallway and having her pants fall down wasn't an option and having a belt that was too tight wasn't either. She's put up with it until after geography then she was going to change. Just one class left. Once class that she absolutely hated and wished she didn't need to take at all.

Upon arrival, her opinion of the class faltered slightly. At least she had a slightly attractive teacher so she could at least pretend like she was listening to him when he spoke. Shay gave him a half-hearted smile then sat down next to a brunet boy, giving him a similar smile, not bothering with an introduction yet. She then listened to the teacher as he addressed the classed and asked for their definition of geography.

Not that she was the greatest at geography, but Shailie nearly cringed at some of the answers she heard. Either over thought, or under thought they were quiet a bit different from what she had thought she'd hear from them. With a moment of silence after one answer, she put in her own. "Traits of land." She never lifted her head from her notebook, scribbling a design along the margin of her paper until the lead snapped.
