Saint Joseph School

Sister Mary Moltar was doing her best to stir up a lively discussion on Dicken's A Tale of Two Cities. Given that much of the class had obviously not read today's assignment, the task was proving rather difficult. The students knew that the occasional momentary wisps of flame that flickered about the nun's hands weren't figments of their imagination: they were a warning sign that nobody had better step out of line this morning.

Just as Andrew (Hedgehog) was starting to say something that had every appearance of being both interesting and insightful, the classroom door crashed open and one of the Day twins stumbled into the room. "Sorry I'm late, Sister Moltar. I couldn't find my brother."

Sister Moltar's eyes sparked dangerously. "Mr. Day," she intoned, "please take your seat. While I am delighted that you deigned to join us for class for a change, I do not appreciate interuptions due to tardiness. Be sure it doesn't happen again." The wisps of flame were now dancing about her hands. After taking a moment to regather her thoughts, she gestured to Andrew to continue.

Right as Andrew seemed to be getting back into the interesting part of his comments, the classroom door crashed open again and the other Day twin stumbled into the room. "Sorry I'm late, Sister Moltar. I couldn't find my... oh look, there he is!"

Students in the front row of the classroom recoiled as the piece of chalk in Sister Mary Moltar's hands exploded, sending smoldering chunks flying.

Kali sits in the back of the classroom giggling at the two new boys.
They had better learn quick around the penguins if they didnt want to be spending all thier free time in detention or cleaning the nasty , grub infested books in the archives of the library she thinks to herself.

She peeks over at Lightfall and passes her a note shes been writting..
hey whats the plans for today? You really should skip last hour and lets go to Icon... I saw the cutest skirt there yesterday!

"Miss Jade? What was that? " .. Sister Mary asks in an already annoyed voice .

" What was.... that? I mean what? "... Kali stammers back .

" yes THAT Miss Jade. What did you just pass ? Bring it to me now please." Sister Mary stands in front of the class with her hand outstretched.

Kali looks to Lightfall .. her cheeks flushed as the rest of the class stare.

Geeesh why couldnt one or both of the twins have stumbled in now she thinks.

One of the Day twins had a devious look in his eyes. "I don't know, Sister Moltar. It looks like a note to me."

Of course, where one goes, the other follows. "And it doesn't look like she intended it for you, by the look on her face."

"And with all those flames dancing around your hands, I don't think it would last very long in your possession."

"And since this is English class, we should be encouraging writing, not destroying it."

The only thing that probably saved them from getting burnt on the spot was the fact that they were sitting on opposite sides of the classroom, meaning that Sister Moltar couldn't decide which one she was more furious with.
