Beach Play - Tuesday - Period 5
Today the class met in the Danger Shop where it still looked like the beach only now Marshall was in control of everything. It sort of made him feel like a god. Or that dude from The Truman Show. Either way it was badass.
"You might be wondering why we're meeting in the Danger Shop when it's a perfectly nice day outside. No, I just don't have a god complex. I need to make sure it's breezy out because today we are flying these things--" Marshall held up a kite. "For those of you who don't know, this is a kite. The whole point of a kite is to get it to fly in the air and, more importantly, stay in the air. They're not really a fun toy. It's more of a toy used to show off in front of your friends because these little suckers can be hard to work."
Marshall went a little bit into how to get a kite up in the air before actually demonstrating it. He made it look remarkably easy. "Now it's not going to be this easy for all of you. Actually I bet some of you won't be able to do it at all. Some people have the gift and some don't. It's nothing to be ashamed of."
"So each of you grab a kite and practice flying it. If your kite starts going down and heading towards the head of another student please shout 'Fore!' or 'Oh my god, duck!' as a warning," Marshall said. "Don't shout 'heads up' because that is a completely misleading term."
Why would you put up your head if something is about to hit it?

totally had that song from Charlie Brown in his headwas just glad there were no trees on the fake beach.Flying a kite was easy enough. Keeping it from
kite-eatingtrees was the hard part, in his opinion.Re: Fly a kite
He totally wasn't planning on having it attack other kites. No, really, he swears. . . .

He watched the kites soar over the ocean and felt a little homesick.

It seemed like a peasant activity.

There was always the potential for danger if someone was struck on the head. She would remain vigilant as always.
