Elana Elana Ynda was not having a good day. She had school. Hoterran class, especially, was the problem. She had a hard time telling where yntaxa was supposed to be used instead of gnamka, specifically in the Jinseian dialect of Hoterran. There was caveat upon caveat, and it was annoying. So it was infuriating when the Hoterran teacher, Mr. Vasulenko announced that, because of some scheduling problems, 2nd period would continue into the 4th period study hall time (or as Elana considered it, free time). “Class, open up your laptops, close all your tabs, go to- I see you on ansib.le, Johnny,” he glared, “And as I was saying, go to Schoolology and open up the Hoterran Vocabulary Formative assignment.” He clicked the power button on his projector and it fired up. “Next class we will be starting the History unit, so I expect you to learn some vocabulary. First we have čagnut. This word means shogun.” He continued on and on, so Elana tuned him out. She turned her laptop away from his view and began to do other stuff. For example, play Eaglemine. “Miss Ynda?” She looked up. Mr. Vasulenko was standing over her, a disapproving expression on his face. “Could you tell me what the word MOTSKTET means?” “Uhmmm, it means....” she trailed off. “Hand me your laptop,” he demanded. She complied. “Go to the Main Office subkqyuei!” Elana took the General Pass and exited his classroom. Fazkreing Mr. Vasulensko and his fazkreing subkqyuei and his fazkreing MOTSKET- she thought. When she reached the Main Office, the secretary, Mrs. Xaxior, glanced up. “Come on in, Elana. Ms. Ojao wants to see you.” Elana nodded, and walked in. “Right into that room,” Mrs. Xaxior said, pointing to a room on the right. The principal’s office. Ms. Ojao was sitting in her chair, behind her desk, arms crossed, glasses down, glaring. “Miss Ynda. This is your third time being in this office.” Elana nodded. “Yes, Ms. Ojao.” “Now why do we think that is?” Elana looked down. “Because you’ve continuously been off-task during work time. Because of that, your laptop is revoked and you have 2 days of In School Suspension, not including today.” Elana nodded. “During ISS you will have to review the Students Rights and Responsibilities on top of your normal now-paper assignments.” Elana nodded again. Ms. Ojao handed her a packet of the SR&R. Elana took it. “Now go to room C203. Mrs. Afodp,” Elana nodded. She walked out of the Main Office, glowering. Ryūji Ryūji Ao was in ISS. She was in ISS for kicking Asadikh Myafor in the shin, really hard. In her mind, he deserved it. He was being pretty homophobic, but that apparently didn’t matter as much as her “uncalled for violence”, so he got off free, while she was stuck here in ISS. Not very cool, Jinseian school system. There were about 10 students in the room, half girls, half boys. The door to the room opened. In walked another girl, same age as Ryūji, with a brown ponytail and wearing a blue shirt. Ryūji thought she recognized her from History class, the one who had gotten Hlaf Elþeod confused with Fland (in her defence both were tiny nations annexed by Gunin in the first century and were pretty forgettable). Her name was something like Elana? Mrs. Afodp went over to Elana, and the two talked. The teacher directed Elana to the nearest empty seat to her, right next to Ryūji. When Mrs. Afodp was out of earshot, Ryūji whispered “Hi” to Elana. Who just glared back. She was probably angry at Ms. Ojao for giving her ISS. “You’re Elana, right?” Ryūji asked. Elana nodded. “I’m Ryūji.” Elana’s eyes lit up in recognition. “Oh, you’re from History, right?” Ryūji nodded. “The one who went on some whole rant about how Nationlands and the United Kingdom of R-whatever fought?” “Yeah. United Kingdom of R-” “I don’t care,” Elana said. Ryūji sighed. “What did you do? To get here, I mean?” Elana swore under her breath. “Mr. Vasulenko. I was ‘off task’ during Hoterran, so I got 3 days of ISS. What about you?” “Yknow Asadikh, right?” Elana nodded. “I kicked him in the shin.” “What did he do this time? And did he get in trouble?” “Homophobic comments, he just got a slap on the wrist.” Elana looked at Ryūji. “Are you gay or something? You must be to care about that kind of stuff.” Ryūji looked offended. “Do you have some sort of problem with it?” Elana shook her head. “No, not at all, don’t worry. At least I don’t think so. I just don’t know much about that stuff. I’m straight.” Ryūji exhaled. “To answer your question, yeah. Basically. Not gay exactly, but some type of bi or pan or something, I don’t know, but yeah.” “Do you have the review-the-SR&R-packet-assignment-thingy too?” Elana asked. Ryūji produced a packet from her desk. “Yeah, me too. I think everyone does.”
