Hey. -waves awkwardly-

Emrys ran down the hallway and out of the building. The person at reception yelled after them, something about no running, but she ignored them. The building where their math class is was located quite close to the dorms, which was a small piece of luck. "It's that one," Emrys said, pointing at a one-story building made out of brick. "Room 3."

Zuri has followed them kind of frantically just hoping she had her math stuff in her bag.
“Hmm… maybe magic?” Zuri said sarcastically after looking at the teacher herself and after Loren’s remark.
“Probably death or dark magic,” she then notes more seriously.

"Well, looks like math will be more magical than I thought it was going to be. At least, the teacher will be." Emrys commented. "That is a cool look, though."

“I hope it is. Also, since I haven’t really looked at the schedule, what’s the rest of our classes?”
Zuri asks. Zuri loves life science, magic, and marine biology, so she hopes the has at least one of those classes.

"Oh, this is going to be great." Emrys groaned, slumping into a seat at the back of the room. "This teacher is going to be one of those teachers that just talks about their life stories instead of actually doing things related to the class." Emrys scoffed. "I mean, what are we going to do with crystals?" Her eyes widen. "Oh, we'd better not be finding the surface area. If that's what we're doing, I'm going to kill someone."

"Volume?" Emrys looked at Loren and groaned. "That's almost worse. Let me tell you, if I had a knife right now…" She trailed off, letting the murderous look in her eyes do the talking for her. "Anyways." She pushed her glasses up her nose and pulled a notebook out of her backpack.

"Eh," Emrys said, waving a hand vaguely. "I'll be fine. Besides, I don't think he can hear me anyways." She pulls a pencil from her backpack and starts twirling it between her fingers.

This is the kind of stuff that makes me want to share my talents, Zuri thinks smugly.
She wants to be doing something actually useful to her career, and finding the volume of crystals is not one of them.
“You know, I only promised I wouldn’t entrance you two… singing to get out of homework isn’t bad at all,” Zuri whispers over to the girls.

"Wait, seriously?" Emrys looked over at Zuri. "You could get us out of homework?" She grinned widely. "Honestly, if you can, that's the coolest thing ever."

“If we get out of homework, ya’ll just tell me the song and we can have a concert.”
Zuri scribbled down some of the last notes. It’s only halfway through the class.
UGH

"Cool." Emrys grinned and wrote down a few problems. She was good-ish at math, but finding the volume of crystals with zero reminders on volume was… difficult, to say the least. "Are any of you having any progress with these? They're kinda impossible. And just a bit advanced for the first day." Emrys whispered to the other girls. "I hate this teacher already."

Suspicious much? Zuri thinks.
Zuri raises her hand, and when the teacher calls on her expecting the answer to what He wants, she says, “No, but I was wondering… What kind of magic do you have? What’s your ability?”

"Huh, that's cool," Emrys said. "But, sir, I want to ask you a question. Why in the world are we finding the volume of crystals, and being asked about crystals in Greenland, when this is the first day here? Shouldn't you, you know, actually teach us about it first?" She asked, shrugging.

Nothing menacing about a little shadows, she thought.
Doesn't stop me from being suspicious.
“Or, maybe you could tell us about yourself. You know, get to know the teacher style?” Zuri asks, not bothering to raise her hand.

“Rude,” Zuri muttered.
When am I going to need to use geometry in my life? “That coral is cylindrical. That dolphin has a large volume.” Yeah, right.
Zuri slid forward in her seat and crossed her arms.
I don’t even know what quadratics is.

"Right, of course. But shouldn't we start with, I don't know, a pyramid, or a cylinder, or even a box before we do that?" Emrys gestured at the board. "Come on, start with the basics! I'm rusty, and I'm pretty sure everyone else here is too."

Zuri raises her hand. The teacher hesitates, but calls on her.
“Shouldn’t we start with, I don’t know, a pyramid, or a cylinder, or even a box before we do *that?”
Zuri gestures at the formulas up on the board.
“Come on, start with the basics! I’m rusty, and I’m pretty sure everyone else here is too,” Zuri says in a very serious tone like she didn’t just repeat everything Emrys said.
