Beaching It [Week 7, Period 5, Wed. 8/18]

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

The day was forecast as warm and sunny and so the class met on the real beach again. John was waiting for them with tables of filled water pistols and water rifles as well as a couple buckets of filled water balloons. Yeah, it was pretty obvious what class was going to be about today, but John was fine with this as he waited, tossing his water rifle between his hands.

"So, last class is usually some sort of wrap it up, see what you've learned or whatever real teachers do. I'm not much of a teacher, but I was thinking we'd do something a little more fun and active on our final day." He charged up his water rifle and shot a stream directly at his TA. Yeah, he was kind of an ass. Before she could kick his ass, he directed the class in their activity, "Grab a gun, grab some balloons, or go chill down on a towel if you fear such things. No matter what, I'm betting some people are gonna get wet today!"

Effy wasn't paying much attention to her classmates, sadly enough. Busy making abstract patterns in the sand with her toes.

She did have a water pistol though, loosely held at her side. So anyone who tried to pounce and soak her was going to get soaked right back if she had any sort of say in it.

Well, if Effy wasn't even watching, it was Rose's DUTY to lob a water balloon in her direction and then look away quickly as it hit.

Subtle Rose, subtle.

Effy... was going to pretend that gasp when she was caught by surprise by cold water all over her back was from someone not her. Really.

Unfortunately, the least sneaky thing you could do in these situations was be the only person just blatantly looking the other way. She was all but whistling innocently. So that was a jet or two of water heading right for her back. Fighting dirty against dirty.
