The bell rang. Jonah immediately launched into his introduction. "Everyone here? Good! If anyone isn't, they'll have to catch up later. My name is J. Jonah Jameson, publisher of the Daily Bugle newspaper out of New York. I'm here to teach you kids how to be journalists. Stick with me and you'll be all-time greats. Show up late, slack off, or be an idiot and you'll be a complete failure in life who nobody will ever love. Sorry, but it's true."

"In order to become a good journalist, you have to have five things. One, an eye for a story. Two, a good memory or good note-taking abilities. Three, your head out of your butt enough to think on your feet and ask good questions when you need to. Four, the dedication to find out whatever it is you need to. And five, you have to figure out for yourself. I could tell you, but if I did that, I'd have to flunk you and I don't want to do any of that on the first day...."

"Okay, that's a lie. I'd love to flunk all of you on the first day, but that's just because it would be fun for me."

"We're going to start nice and slow this week. But considering that we're talking about how to make it as a newsman... or woman... 'slow' is a relative term. So let's do this. You," Jonah pointed to a random person, "give me your name, why you think you can make it as a journalist, and why I should give the tiniest bit of a crap about either of those. Go! Now!"

[OOC: Syllabus is here. Not that Jonah passed it out. This won't stop him from referencing it, though. Please glance at it for it contains important OOC info about the class.]

Well, I've never heard of her.

Of course, this fact didn't surprise Cal, considering that Diane Sawyer didn't start broadcasting on a national level until two years after where he'd come from (not that he knew that, either), but it was a good, easy thing to get a rise out of Amber over.

That's too bad. She's great.

Oh, and hey, hi to you too.

To that, Cal just smirked, lifting a hand, but then cocking his head toward Jameson to say that, hey, it's just the first class; didn't want to push it.

Who cared if he'd probably end up having detention, anyway?

Amber muttered under her breath, but hopefully loud enough that he could hear her if he tried hard enough, "Chicken ass."

Oh, he heard. Cal heard and lifted an eyebrow and had a mutter to return, "Better chicken ass than a fat ass."

Ha, take that, Atkins.

Although talking about detentions so much lately and remembering his only earned one was hopefully going to keep him in check this time.

She snorted. "Yah, you like it."

"Hey hey hey!" Jonah said, interrupting. "If you have to talk, no snorting. Also, you don't have to talk."

They could POSSIBLY get away with going back to notes, though. Jonah would be too distracted by people talking about his hair.
