The Happiest Creative Writing Class Ever

Who: Soren and YOU, if you want to pass your Language Arts graduation requirement.
What: Creative Writing class
Where: The Humanities classroom
When: NOW. YOU'RE ALMOST LATE.
Warnings: Teacher is dry and has no sense of humor.

Soren waited until all the students had filed into the classroom. The fact that they'd not been ready and waiting to learn at the top of the hour irritated him, but he retained a cool composure.

"Welcome back. I see some have decided their grade is not of utmost importance to them. All students not present receive a failing grade for the year and must re-take it next session.

"Moving on. Writing has always been an acceptable outlet for frustrations or creativity."

He shook his head.

"But keep in mind: no one wants to read your melodramatic whining except yourselves. If you truly feel the need to write poetry or complain about lost love, then consider taking up Martial Arts. Physical activity is a much more productive conduit for pathetic teenage angst.

"Your homework was to write a paragraph about your dreams and why in all likelihood you will not accomplish them. You, in the far back. You go first."

....when did Sonny pick this elective? How did that happen? Why was he being called on to produce homework he didn't do? Was he wearing--Yes. He WAS wearing pants so this definitely wasn't a nightmare.

"Um. Hi. My name is Sonny Moe. I'm a Snorlax, so, I sleep a lot of the day? I dream a lot. But anyone could achieve their dreams. One time, there was an amusement park in space we all went to and there was a whole planet made out of cheeseburgers and candy. I ate a lot. My dream is to go back there."

See? Food planet. Totally achievable dream.

Instead of being cowed, as most students might be, Sonny replied with a laugh.

"Aw, it's OK. You don't know anything about being a Snorlax. That's alright. Actually, the more I eat and the heavier I get, the more powerful I am."

It's true!

"OK! Extra credit is just as good as regular credit! Thank you!"
punchtheflute: (human - super happy)

"OK! Thank you for the opportunity, teacher!"

Guy wasn't so bad after all!!

Shantae hated this class already, and it had only just begun. Who the heck did this guy think he was, trying to tell all of them their dreams would never come true? Oh, Shantae had a few choice words for him...

"My dream is to one day meet my mother. But it's never going to happen, because I'd have to leave behind everyone I love in this world forever."

"Also this is a horrible assignment, and dreams are meant to be chased until you achieve them or die trying!"
magicdancer: (Wait what?)

...Huh. She didn't expect a response like that. She was shaken off her guard by his words, and her own hostile demeanor softened.

"Uh... Thanks."

She quietly took her seat, unsure of what to do next after that outburst. She really had to think about things like this more before she acted.
