Creative Writing- Monday- 1st period

[gotyoucookie]

So, uh. Nick really had the first class of the first day, huh. You really had to go and do that to him, school?

But he tried. He wore a tie. He got there early. He wrote his name on the board and underlined it for no discernible reason. (Emphasis.)

"Welcome to Creative Writing," Nick greeted them. "Where you will learn to write. Creatively."

And then he immediately buckled under the pressure.

"You know what's good? Introductions are good. Let's do those. Who are you?" Nick said, feeling like he had a great idea here. Just wait until he realized that took up like five minutes of class time, max.

"This is ridiculous," Five said rather than play along with the obvious waste of time.

"Sure is, but what's your name?" Nick said.

"Number Five," he ground out. "Are you even qualified to be teaching?"

Re: Introductions

"Nope." Obvious answer was obvious. "...Do I call you Number?"

Maybe Five was a middle name?

"Just Five is fine," he said, honestly kind of surprised by how easily the man capitulated. "Then why are you even here? Is this a 'if you can't do, teach' sort of thing?"

"I believe the children are our future," he said, shrugging.

He didn't, but it's what came to mind.

Which was why Five just gave him the judgiest of looks possible.
