(I have far more characters than you though, so it's easier for me to make 'em ramble...)
Takare lowered her eyelids, looking as bored as all hell.
"Well?" Mrs Murdock asked, nostrils flaring in a disgusting manner. "I suppose, judging by the most DEFIANT and SCARED looks upon your faces, and with the SILENCE you project, I can assume you have all FORGOTTEN? All four of you, AGAIN?" she asked, putting unnecessary emphasis on certain words.
Silence.
"This is utterly disgusting. Truly and utterly appaling, you four. Takare, at YOUR age you should KNOW better! It's not hard, not for a GIRL with YOUR IQ. Obvious, DISGUSTING laziness is ALL it is.
Kiere, do I even NEED to say ANYTHING? Your DEFIANCE and TROUBLEMAKING attitude aren't SUITED for this! Don't you even GIVE me that LOOK!
And TORIS, you haven't REMEMBERED your HOMEWORK once! This WHOLE YEAR! How can you even THINK of being that INSOLENT?
And Tallulah, you were moved up to this class because THEY told me you were SUITED! But ALL you've proved is how LAZY and REGARDLESS... what are you... oh, don't start that now......"
Tallulah was sobbing, snuffled wails of complete and utter horror. She was absolutely mortified that anyone would even think of saying anything of the sort to Takare, Kiere or Toris. And as for herself, well... she would've probably sunk to her knees if she'd put more thought into it. She was gulping for air, her face wet with her streaked tears, the room silent except for her stuttered gulps and rambled, uncontrollably pitched moans.
The rest of the kids in the class were silent. They sat there, just watching the events unfold.
Nobody really noticed Kiere. At first glance, he was just watching too. But then you saw his eyes.
Dead. The red of his iris didn't glow, the pupils didn't move, there was simply no life there anymore. His hands were clenched, and if any of his friends had been there or watching they would've figured something was coming next. When it came to Tallulah, Kiere was like a paranoid mother shark...
"You should take that back." he said quietly.
Thirty heads turned and faced him, most of them surprised.
Yeah, Kiere was a bit nuts but even he knew some limits. Talking back to a teacher like that was one of them, and everyone was gaping at him like he was mad.
"Excuse ME??? Kiere, I am your teacher! Not your equal! You may NOT TALK TO ME LIKE-"
"No. You take what you said about her back. She's crying, and I won't have that. Not from the likes of you..." Kiere approached the fat teacher, who now showed dim signs of apprehension.
"... Now! I want you to cut this out RIGHT NOW! Tallulah deserves-" Mrs Murdock yelled, face steaming. Kiere balled his fists, smirked slightly...
And punched her in the face.

"Intervection what?"
Hana had massive ears. It was quite funny, actually. If you yelled at her from across a small room to wash the dishes, she'd show no signs of hearing anything. But the moment you whispered something about her to someone else from the same distance, or they whispered to her that she needed new shoes, she'd always hear you. It was almost foolproof.
"Yeah, don't worry about it. Just some science stuff..." Lionel tried quick-thinking. "You forget the homework? I did." he grinned.
"Eurgh, I HATE science. I always 'forget' the homework." Hana opened the fashion room door. "Mechanics and fashion, however..." she grinned, lipstick plastered painstakingly to her little pursed lips.
"I'm gonna be a moment, OK?" Lionel said. "Be in soon."
"Okay!" Hana gave him a massive hug and pecked him on the cheek in a sort of French way. It was just something they did, and it was far more French than romantic. Completely void of any sort of 'lurrrve' because Lionel, Toris, Tredan and Joseph were the only guys she wouldn't flirt with. They were her friends, not random guys.
"And Tala! You staying with Lionel for a bit? Don't be toooo long! I can't WAIT!" she hugged Tala hard, smiling happily, and With that, she clack-skipped inside, and was happily welcomed by Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms You-can-decide-the-name-of-any-teachers-too-if-you-want-I-don't-have-to-do-it-all-unless-you-want-because-you-have-choice-too. Easily her favourite teacher too.
Lionel smiled, still holding Tala's hand.
"God, we all really need to do something soon. Like, the movies or something, right?" he smiled, daydreaming. "This is gonna be so cool though. But I agree, right? Let's just wait and see what happens with Hana and her dresses... or whatever it was that you said, I can't remember." he swung his hand happily, still holding Tala's gently. "Hey, did Tredan invite us all to his tonight? We should both catch up beforehand or something! It's just an idea, but we should!" he put his hands over his mouth, having had a suppsedly brilliant idea.
"Tala, seriously, lets!" he hugged her happily.

"You.... OHMAIGAWRD. You're my hero!" Tredan stared at the shoes. "I don't know what I'd do without you two!" he gave Amity a massive, surprise death-hug, causing a lot of people to stare at the both of them. He then shoved his feet into the shoes and literally skipped into the PE hall, ready to face his demons with all the rainbows he could muster.
He didn't like PE for a lot of reasons:
- They make you do stuff. If you do stuff wrong, things get thrown at your head.
- He was a wet, weedy wimp and easily the worst in the class.
- He frequently had miniature heart-attacks and conniptions, both of which are fatal.
- "And it's stuuuupid! Stuuuupid and pointless! I HATE IT!"
But he couldn't pull out. Popping his head out the door, he smiled at Amity and Joseph.
"Gu-uys! Let's just go kick some crap about!" he grinned cheekily. "Best make the most of the demons!"
(Hey, once you reply again do you wanna skip to Tre's house? Or before if Tala wants to do something with Lionel? Juuust an idea. I figured having them all interact would be fun, but only if you want.)
