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."

"... You have done as instructed and given a satisfactory answer. To forfeit your connections for a loved one would be foolish."
He paused and thought for a moment. Her words reminded him of his missing friend, Ike. The thought of him eased Soren's hostility a little.
"But you raise a good point. In some cases one should not back down from a goal. Only in the worst circumstances should you die, but if it's for an important cause..."
Soren trailed off as his pride caught up with him.
"A," he muttered.

"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.
