Oh Yes, We are Gifted.

[NiaZen]

'Crap...first day of school and already a bad impression on the teacher...' Talon thought to himself as he got some gloves and got called a two.

"Well...it coulda been worse..." Taikato thought to himself as he grabbed some gloves and put them on. He was called a one, so he walked off to the left side of the gym, where he saw the other 'one's.'

Talon walked off to where the other two's were, and he sighed, he really didn't like fighting, and why did he have to get gym?

[Icefire]

Desra sighed and walked over to her side of the room, with the ones. She stood between Apollo and Taikato, putting her gloves on as she leaned against the wall. Once she was done, she looked up and at the two she was standing by, and smiled at them both. Of course, she had to smile. What else would she do? Scowl? It was against her nature, and why would she do it for no reason? So she just smiled sweetly at them, and laughed silently to herself. She remembered Apollo. The anger managment kid. Luckily, they were close enough to her that her aura would affect them, and she wouldnt be considered 'using her powers'. She wondered who she would be paired with. She laughed to her self again, although this time a grin escaped and formed across her lips. Whoever it was, they would have to be pretty good. Since of course she was part cat, she had catlike stealth, reflexes, and agility. And agility and reflexes were just what you needed for boxing.

Blair smiled. Art class was going to be great! The teacher was awsome, apparently, and the first day was just draw whatever you want. She hoped her other classes would be this good. She pulled out the sketch pad she had brought with her, and started thinking about what to draw. Finally, after a minute or two, she decided to draw a snake. Actually, it was a rattlesnake to be precise, and they were really many, crawling over and on top of each other, slithering in a small space. That space happened to be an open suitcase. She nearly laughed out loud, but she suppressed it to a low giggle. Although that giggle sounded quite the opposite of innocent. The plan was forming nicely. She would be sure to go to the library first chance she got.

[idyllian]

Apollo looked over feeling rather funny once again but shaking it off much like a wet dog. The effect of the aura, which was what he was now feeling was slowly being repulsed and to that effect the anger remained. The Djin, more formerly known as Ifrit, named as such by his father had done this. It was becoming very agitated by this girl and would not stand to be controlled by such a lesser being.

At this time one may be asking, is Ifrit alive, to which the answer would be no, but in a sense because it had been molded from the root area’s of Apollo’s subconscious causing the aggression and pure unrelenting furry Apollo most often felt all of the time.

[Icefire]

Desra looked over at Apollo. "Sorry about that." she grinned impishly. "My aura is kind of big, and when people are this close they get affected whether I want them to or not." she paused. "Although, apparently that Ifrit has some kind of resistance to it. Exactly how much power does it have over you?" she kind of felt sorry for him, being part of that thing. But then, maybe it wasnt as bad as it seemed.

((Haha, I'm reading the Bartemeous (sp?) Trilogy right now. Its funny.... but I didnt even know what Afrits of Djinni were until I started those books. Now I do. That helps. ^^))

[GIR]

((I've read those books too! You didn't know that? I read 1001 nights...Or whatever number that is))

"Oh yeah. I forgot. You're not allowed to use any of your powers and tricks in this classroom." She called out. After about 15 minutes, Eevy walked around the room, silently checking pictures. She looked a bit longer at Blair's but moved on without speaking.


((Woops. Reading at the same time as typing))

[NiaZen]

Taikato sighed as he felt an odd feeling from Desra, then he overheard her. He looked down at Desra "Is there any way to control that aura of yours? Not like it bothers me...but I don't really like it..." Tai said, crossing his arms.

ooc: and gir, I think that's Blair, not Desra...

[Icefire]

((Wrong class Ashiko. Eevy is art class ^^ 1001 nights? Does that have Bartemous in it? I just finished the third book... Why do all the frikkin authors have to make their books so sad? It really annoys me. Especially when you kinda form a bond type thing with the main charactors. It makes me want to rip the book up. But its from the library, and then I would have to pay for it. ^^))

"Umm... I can make it go out farther, but not really closer. I cant get it any less than 2 feet away. Step back a step and it probably wont affect you." Desra said to Taikato as she heard him speak.

---

Blair sensed Eevy over her shoulder. "What?" she asked, turning around. She thought it must be something to do with the snakes, but she wasnt sure.

[ashiko]

((Sorry, I'll delete it. I got confused.))

[idyllian]

Apollo looked over at her glaring slightly “ Just shut up already.” he said tightening the gloves on his hands before going back to staring directly at the floor before shaking his head and looking back over at Desra. “I’m sorry.” he added before going back to staring at the floor.

----------------------------------------------------

((Haha no Gym for Vincent))

Vincent sat down in the center of the room in the third row of desks placing his bag on the floor watching the other student enter the room . He knew most of them of course, some of them waved to him and he waved back before pulling his arm free from the sling with his hand and letting it rest of the desk nonchalantly while waiting for the class to start.

[Icefire]

Desra grinned, then turned away and tried to focus on boxing techniques in her head. She guessed Apollo would be suprised by her grin, but then she was always suprising people.
She went over all the blocks in her mind, the combos, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and a few other things. She wondered if this would be kick boxing. She never really was good with her fists, but she could bring up a round kick and knock somebody to the floor. She could also counter-attack someones kick, sending them spinning, and possibly to the floor. But even without the kicks, she would probably do pretty good.

[ashiko]

A flame shot up is arm, and Sparky's scowl deepened. He set his boxing gloves down on the ground and started smothering the fire. It was strange, he was really flaring up today. He figured it was because of his worry about boxing, and his fear of getting future flashes... The flame went out, and he frowned at his scorched sleeve. "Stupid thing..." he muttered.

[Icefire]

Desra looked up as a flash of orange light caught her attention. She grinned at Sparky from across the room, seeing him trying to put out the flame. Unlike Blair would, she wasnt enjoying his torment; she felt a bit sorry for him, but what else would she do? Frown? What for? Yes, these questions have been asked before. She grins or smiles at about anything. Dont take it the wrong way, she isnt laughing at you. Most of the time... it really depends, but you get the point.

[ashiko]

Sparky looked up at Desra's smile and sighed. He gave her a small wave, then morosely stared at the ceiling. His day had started out fine, but now it kinda sucked. He was afraid to put his gloves on. He was afraid to go out and get punched. Not many people knew it, but time slowed down when he 'saw' things. When he was touched, everything slowed to him, allowing him to 'see.' To everyone else, time moved regularly, lucky them.

[anarchyheartless]

Mat folded her arms across her chest as she felt the girl's aura seep into her. Even though she was still numb from the songs from the ride up, she could feel the itchings of the migraine coming on. She stiffly moved farther away from the girl and stood stiffly, eyeing the rest of the people she would now be stuck with for the year.

"No talking." Tiphanie hissed to the girl. Geez, was she really that dense to not get the 'no talking rule'. The fire burning in Ola's black eyes should have been warning enough.

"This is the simple warm up we will be doing everyday.” He said, walking around the boxing ring until he came to a set of steps he leaned against the middle rope looking between the two groups. “The routine would include: sit ups, pushups, pull ups, squats, lifts, presses, and simple combinations.” He said, when he said ‘combinations’ he simply raised his hands in a loose stance, pushing his left arm forward in a slow punch and then the other one.

“Today we will start simple. Three sets of five. Each.” He said, sliding off the side of the ring he then got down ‘on his face’ and started to do diamond pushups.

Mat didn’t wait for any more instructions when he began and she also laid on her stomach and started to do the pushups. She did five pushups, then rolled onto her back, did five sit ups, rolled back on her stomach and then did five more pushups. She repeated until she had finished both her pushups, and situps. Fifteen each. Then she went over to one side of the gym where there were metal frames with a thin metal bar running across the top of it, about seven feet up. Mat jumped up and lifted her self up so her chin was over the bar.

She held herself up like that for a total of forty seconds. Since most girl’s bodies didn’t have the correct muscle foundations it was hard for them to build good biceps to do pull ups. Olakunde knew this fact, so he didn’t require them to do that, they did flex armhangs instead (which is what Mat did).

Kida was slow in her work out. She never liked to break a sweat in the morning so she moved slowly than Ola, Tiphanie, or Mat were moving. She was only on her first set of sit ups when she spotted Mat doing a flex arm hang,

(I would like it to be known that it is harder for females to do pull ups. Even extremely fit gymnasts can only pull four or five. So, I don’t expect any of the girls in gym to be able to do more than one. Forty seconds is alright although a stretch. I personally can last thirty seconds on a bad day and fifty - sixty seconds on a good one. And I work out a lot.))

[idyllian]

Apollo almost looked slightly surprised. Well it was the first day, nothing to strenuous on the first day. He glanced up at Tiphanie before looking over in Ola's direction. Coach most likely would have had him do extra work for that, but this wasn’t football practice anymore, this wasn’t his old school anymore. He started right as Ola finished, it was just the basics not like doing burpies in triangle stacks or anything. He hated doing thoes, but in this case thoes burpies had done him some good, other then on the field that is.

Five push-ups, five sit-ups very repetitive he thought once he had gotten to the third set, but no matter. He jumped to his feet following shortly after the girl grabbing a hold of the bar and pulling himself up till it was over his chin, holding it there for forty seconds and then repeating the process.

Ethan took the elevator to his room, he had the first class period free. He never taught anything the first period of the day, he was never awake that early. Besieds that he always had "calls" to attend to. Calls that everyone made stories about because whenever he got one, into the back room he would go and not a sound could be heard for five minuets.

No one was allowed in the back room, just like no one was allowed touching the fish tank or his desk without permission. Thoes were the only things he got uptight in any way about and he made sure that everyone understood that.
