Emma's flippers were still tingling as she headed to Lunch. She squeezed her way through the tons of kids bustling through the Dining Hall. She eventually made it to the outside bench area, where she and her mates always ate their food. She sat on the table, and opened her lunchbox. Emma was one of the few kids in her Jahr that still bought a lunchbox to school, the others had school dinners. She smiled at her friend Brooke, who was walking over to her, and sitting on the bench Weiter to her.
"Hey Emma." She greeted brightly, a cupcake in her flipper.
"Hey Brooke." Emma replied cheerfully, eating faster than usual. She chatted to Brooke about their lessons, and some of the kids, just as Liam came out, followed Von Ryan, Matt, Matt's girlfriend Courtney, and Ryan's non identical twin brother Jake. Jake was a bit shorter than Ryan, had curlier hair and lighter eyes. Emma smiled at all of them, as they sat down on the bench. They smiled back, and began chatting between themselves.
"Hey Courtney, can Du give me a piggy back?" Ryan asked. Emma smiled to herself. She remembered last week, they all had piggy back races,and poor Courtney had to carry Ryan, who was much taller than her.
"Ugh, fine." Courtney agreed, looking exasperated. Ryan jumped on her back, and she almost fell over. Then the two penguins rode around the little bench area, earning giggles from a few people on the other benches. Brooke just watched in amazement.
"How can she even carry him, he's like the size of a tree." Brooke remarked, chuckling to herself. Emma covered her beak to stop herself from bursting with laughter.
"He is a bit like a baum isn't he." Emma agreed, watching Ryan, who had just fell off Courtney's back.
"A skinny tree." Brooke added. Emma nodded in response.
But an amazing, skinny tree. She thought to herself, a little smile tugging at her face. As Ryan jumped back on Courtney's back, they passed Brooke and Emma. As they did, Ryan tapped Emma on the head cheekily, and Courtney rode off with him, before dropping him on the floor again. Emma blushed and watched him out of the corner of her eye. She and Brooke sat their for the whole of lunch, talking, and giggling. They chatted with a few of the others too. Sam and Zoe came out to say hi, but they went quickly. They didn't really like the bench area that much. Before they knew it, the glocke went, and Emma headed for English. She wasn't a big Fan of the lesson, but she had a nice teacher. She walked with Liam and Ryan, and Brooke. Liam was in her class, but the others weren't. As Emma got to the door of her class, she took one last look at them, before entering the class and sitting in her normal seat. Again, she sat with her friend Salma in this lesson. The lesson dragged a little, and Emma stared at the clock wistfully. They had been doing Fragen about Romeo and Juliet, which, in Emma's opinion, was a bit boring. But the clock was getting closer to 5 past 3, and the teacher told them to pack up.
"Finally, the end of the day." Liam sagte looking relieved. "It started getting a bit boring near the end,"
"Yup." Emma agreed, watching the clock, which was now only one Minute away. She noticed Private and Kowalski chatting with a few other penguins at the back of the room, and Matt was talking with Jake. Skipper and Rico were in the slightly lower English class, with Brooke and Ryan. The glocke finally rung, and Emma zoomed out of the class, and waited outside of Skipper's class. Sam was also in this class, so she decided to walk with her. As the others came spilling out of the class, the group of penguins began walking towards the exit. In the group, was Emma, Sam, Skipper, Rico, Private, Kowalski, and Brooke. Ryan was walking with Liam Matt and Jake, just a little in front. The penguins stopped Von a few other classes, to pick up Ashley, and Tom and Zoe. Tom brought his best friend, Daniel along. Daniel was small, blonde, and had little freckles on his beak. Then they all began to walk home. Brooke, left the group first, since she had to go another way. Then Sam, Zoe and Daniel left, leaving the others to walk through the park to get home. Canterbury park was the biggest park in the city, and one of Emma's favourite places. They began to walk through chatting, and being silly as they went. Ashley, Private and Kowalski were Emma's Weiter door neighbors, and they had all known eachother for 6 years now. After about 30 Minuten of walking the group got to their houses. Emma got in and dumped her bag on the floor, calling a hello to her mum, before heading upstairs, and on the computer. She got her art folder from her room, and began to work on the homework she got. She had to research different artists. Right now, Emma was studying an artist called Banksy. As the Tag rolled on, and the sky began to blacken, she finally finished. She then went down to dinner, and told her mum about her day, though she had to leave out the best bit. Just then her dad came in, and smiled at them all.
"Hey everyone." He greeted, putting his work bag down, and smiling at them all.
"Hey dad." Tom replied, accidentally spitting Essen on Rico.
"Ewww." Rico complained, throwing a fisch at Tom.
"Rico, stop throwing things at your brother." Their mum told him sternly. Rico grumbled, and began eating again. The Tag passed quickly, and in no time, Emma was already heading to bed. Her room was full of pictures she had drawn, and her bett was filled with stuffed toys, mostly dogs. She had to throw most of them on the floor just so she could get in her bed. She kept her favourite toy, Lulu, with her though. Lulu was a lovely little husky dog, and although she was starting to look a little battered, Emma loved her all the same. Emma thought about the day, and she grinned to herself. She was still angry with the French teacher, but at least she got to schlittschuh, skate with Ryan in PE. She curled up in her bed, and her mind wandered. She kept thinking back to how warm, and soft Ryan's flippers were, and she smiled every time she thought about his eyes. She soon fell into a blissful sleep.
The Weiter day, Emma sat in Geography, in a really cheerful mood. Like Monday, she had Geography for first lesson. As the teacher came in, she looked really mad, and Emma's good mood vanished. She started ranting about the tests they did yesterday, and Emma looked taken aback.
Woah, she's never usually like this, the results must be terrible. She thought worriedly. She exchanged a nervous glance with Kowalski, who's eyes were full of shock.
"Now, a few people in this class did really well, so I'm pleased with them, especially since we are only about 6 weeks into this course." Miss Chambers added. Emma looked up, hoping that she was one of those people. As Miss Chambers handed them their papers, Emma breathed a sigh of relief. She had got 20/28, which was a B. Kowalski got the same as her and he looked gobsmacked.
"But... but, I revised all week ,and Du didn't do any." Kowalski protested, staring at his paper in astonishment. Emma felt pretty smug at this.
"Imagine what I could have got if I did revise." She pointed out, mischievously. Kowalski looked outraged and he muttered something under his breath. Emma just grinned and looked at her paper proudly. Only 6 weeks in and already a B. Her eyes fell on Rochelle, who for some reason, was sitting opposite her now.
She must have moved. Emma guessed.
"What did Du get Rochelle?" She asked.
"5/28." She replied sheepishly.
"Ouch, did Du do all of the questions?" Emma asked, taking Rochelle's paper and opening it. Rochelle shook her head, and turned around to Ryan.
"Hey Ryan. what did Du get?" She asked.
"16/28, one mark off a C." Ryan told her, looking pleased.
"Awesome." Emma praised, smiling warmly at him. He smiled back, and looked through his paper. After a bit of asking around, Emma realised that she and Kowalski had got the highest, followed Von a girl called Katie, a guy called Curtis, (who both got C's), then Ryan. Nearly everyone else had got 6 oder so marks, which was probably why Miss Chambers was so angry. Miss went through the Antwort with them, and told them to add to what the had put.
"You can sit where Du want to do this." She added. Emma, Rochelle, and Kowalski went over to Ryan's table, and sat with him. As they were all discussing their marks Ryan noticed something.
"I.. I think Miss has marked this wrong....." He began uncertainly, adding up the scores on his paper.
"Really?" Rochelle asked taking his paper from him, and adding it up. She frowned and handed it to Emma. Emma began adding, and she frowned too.
"The marks add up to 19....." She realised, double checking with herself. She got 19 again, and Rochelle took the paper to Miss Chambers, who denied that she had marked it wrong. Rochelle tried to Zeigen it to her, but she just got sent back to the table.
"She wont have it." Rochelle said, looking annoyed.
"But that's not fair, I should have 19!" Ryan protested counting it up again, just to be sure.
"That's only one mark of me and Emma's." Kowalski remarked, looking a little surprised. Admittedly Emma was surprised too. Ryan was definatley smart, since he was in the oben, nach oben classes for everything except for English, but he wasn't the smartest in the class oder anything. He was usually average smart.
"So Du should have a B oder C." Emma pointed out. Ryan didn't look pleased and he crossed his flippers, and frowned in the direction of the teacher. "Hey she may have marked it wrong, but we all know that Du did really well, and got ether a B oder C, which is awesome." Emma reassured him.
"Good point." He replied, smiling a little. As the lesson went on, they all added a few bits to their answers, and when the glocke was about to go, Miss Chambers asked for quiet.
"One Mehr announcement before we go." She said. "Don't forget, the camping trip is tomorrow, so Du need to come in a 8am. Oh, and Emma, Ryan, I need a word with Du two when the glocke goes" She told them. The two penguins exchanged a confused look, and watched their teacher curiously. The glocke rung, and the kids all headed for their Weiter lessons, except for Ryan and Emma, who went up to the teacher, wonderingly.
"So what is it?" Ryan asked, looking thoughtful.
"Well, everyone has to share a tent with another camper, and because of the girl to boy ratio, urm, Du two are going to have to share a tent." Miss Chambers told them slowly. Emma felt herself go red, and she looked up at Ryan shyly. "Don't worry, there's plenty of room for two separate sleeping bags, because you've got one of the bigger tents." She added hastily, seeing their expressions.
"Urm.......okay then...." Emma eventually managed. The teacher told them they could go, and they rushed to their lessons. Though it was a little strange, Emma's stomach filled with butterflies, as she headed to her Weiter lesson. She was looking vorwärts-, nach vorn to the trip even Mehr now.
"Hey Emma." She greeted brightly, a cupcake in her flipper.
"Hey Brooke." Emma replied cheerfully, eating faster than usual. She chatted to Brooke about their lessons, and some of the kids, just as Liam came out, followed Von Ryan, Matt, Matt's girlfriend Courtney, and Ryan's non identical twin brother Jake. Jake was a bit shorter than Ryan, had curlier hair and lighter eyes. Emma smiled at all of them, as they sat down on the bench. They smiled back, and began chatting between themselves.
