Archaeology 101... The Classroom of Despair

~~~~~~

     "Who should go next Makayla?" Andrew inquired, as he grinned widely and friendly.

     "Oh. Right. Mathi." She said quietly as she nudged this tall, slender boy with pink highlights in his curly short strawberry blonde hair. He pushed up his pink lensed heart sunglasses atop his head with his long, pink painted fingernails.

     "I gotchu honey." He said with a wink and a kiss towards Makayla. "Well, my name is Matthias Brodek, but everyone calls me Mathi or Matti. Something I. Love. Is definitely the color pink and the embrace of a man, if you couldn't already tell." Matti said while he laughed at his own joke, his hand moved in a downward waving motion as he laughed. The class glanced at each other with confused, murmured laughter.

     "Ahahahah, Sweet dude! Nice to meet you bro!" Andrew heartily laughed with a large smile towards Matti. Matti Laughed and brushed his hair behind his ear while he smiled at Andrew. "Why don't you go next, miss?" Andrew said, aimed towards the Brunette with glasses that spoke out earlier.

     "Me? Well fine. My name is Kiera Guao, I love archaeology and I think that this whole activity is kinda dumb. Thank you." Kiera said and rolled her eyes while she pushed her glasses back up onto her face. "Let's hear from that stupid looking jock next." Kiera pointed out a tall, buff man with longer slicked back blond hair who wore a hockey jacket in the back of the class.

     "Well that seems kinda rude." Snapped a redheaded beautiful girl sat next to him. Her red hair was straight and short and her lips were plump and glossy. Even her figure was what most would consider an ideal hourglass. She wore a cute pleated skirt with a nice white shirt tucked into it. Bracelets and necklaces accessorized to top off the outfit perfectly.

     "Babe, don't worry about it, it's no big deal. She doesn't even know me yet." The jock calmly said back to the redhead while he patted her on the back. "The name's Dave Simons, I love playing hockey and am part of the frat house Mu Kappa Gamma, if any of you ladies wanna come over. Feel free to do so" Dave said while he winked at Kiera and Makayla. "You're always welcome too Andrew." He said while he smiled at Andrew. Kiera rolled her eyes and Makayla looked away. The Redheaded girl bumped him roughly with a glare and he let out a small "ow" as she did.

     "Well I'll go next." The redhead started while she put her hand on her chest. "My name is Holly Cauldoon, and just so everyone is aware, Dave is MY. Boyfriend, none of you cute girlies dare to try and take him away from me. Oh. And I'm a cheerleader for the football team." Holly said as she flipped her hair back. Dave stood there a little stunned, but shook it off with a shrug. "Hey. You. weirdo. Go next." Holly demanded as she pointed towards a larger guy with dark brownish hair, tattoos, and bags under his eyes. He also had quite a few piercings all over his face, a nose ring, earrings, and snake bites. He wore all black and white, with ripped black jeans and a black too large sweater vest over a loose white button up shirt. He had on a couple silver necklaces over the sweater vest. He looked rather confused as to if it was him who got called on or not. He answered while smirking.

     "Who me? You gotta work on your insults a bit more, cutie." He said, which made Holly glare at him and roll her eyes. "Well, my name is Alec Cayuna and I love playing video games online with some friends. Nothing better than that, am I right? I also love to play the electric guitar. Now let's have that other girl with the brown hair go next." The girl looked up surprised with her eyebrows raised at Alec then pointed to herself. She held up a finger as if to say 'wait a minute' and then her mouth started to move more rapidly as she held a fist over her mouth.

     "MMhp-Hello---" She said, as she coughed a little bit, "Sorry, ahem, I was just finishing up some cold chicken that I brought as a snack for the day. My name is Harmony Geitla, but basically everyone I know calls me Harp because I play the harp. Let's see... I also love to bake. I will bake basically anything, cookies, cakes, pastries... etc. But My favorite thing of all time is definitely meat dishes, nothing better than that." She said, and licked her lips while she stared at the chicken she brought, and finished her introduction.

     "Yeah, I bet it is..." Holly muttered under her breath, and rolled her eyes a bit. Dave laughed a little bit.

     "Wow, real classy joke there, how ever did you think of that one?" Kiera sarcastically countered Holly with her eyebrow raised. Everyone's eyes opened in disbelief, shocked at the negative comment that attacked her.

     "Wow... That was... We like, just met everyone..." Said a man sat in the corner with dark brown hair and black glasses as his eyebrows raised with a light smirk on his face. He was rather tan and friendly looking. He wore these colorful shoes with a fuzzy lined jean jacket over a shirt with a pun on it and some jeans, nothing special. "How about I introduce myself to cut some of this tension." He said with a smile, "I'm Nico Dirs, hmm let's see... something about myself... I love pizza and was born in Greece. Hmm... Nothing else I can think of." Overall it was a very cheerful introduction. With multiple arm movements as he spoke. "Well it looks like there's only one person left to go, let's hear it!" Nico pointed to a guy sat all the way in the back of the room, he hadn't said anything this whole time.

     "Yeah, fine. Considering it's just me left. My name is Kenneth, just call me Ken, everyone else seems to. There's nothing really interesting about me but I was the valedictorian of my large private high school. If that is even interesting." He said with a sigh, frown and furrowed brows. Ken wore a buttoned up flannel with a cardigan over it with casual black pants on. Ken was very tan. He had a beard and mustache which seemed like the mix of a soul patch and goatee, all his hair pitch black. Everyone looked surprised and impressed by his credentials.

     "Alright everyone, with the introductions done, why don't we actually start class." Professor Ranking said with a smile upon his face as he turned towards the board and started to tell the class about the history of Archaeology. Everyone settled down in their seats and started to take notes.

     Soon enough class ended and everyone started to pack up.

     "Alright guys, I have to head out first before you finish packing up, my daughter is in town and I have lunch plans with her that I'm already almost late for. Earl will be watching while I'm gone so don't do anything silly." Professor Ranking said, as he chuckled at his own joke while he packed up his stuff and headed out of the classroom.

     "Okay!" Everyone said and waved goodbye as they continued to pack up as Mr.Ranking Left the room. Everyone looked around at each other right after Professor Ranking left the room.

     "I don't see what's so special about Earl" Kiera groaned, she flicked Earl with her finger as she towered over him.

     "Hey. Don't do that to him, Professor Ranking told us to take good care of him." Makayla said, standing up to Kiera then patted Earl's head where he got flicked. "He's so cute, how could you hate him?" She said while she stared at Earl and smiled.

     "Hey, what are you dudes doing after this? Got any classes?" Andrew spoke while he addressed the whole class. "Why don't we go hang somewhere like Chipotle or smth similar?" Everyone looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders...

     "Well, I have a class in a couple hours, but I can go," Ken said while he looked at his schedule in his booklet.

     "Yeah, I'm down too. Seems fun. I'm always down for some Chipotle meat." Harp said, as she licked her lips and took a bite of some Beef Jerky she pulled from God knows where.

     "How are you not full?" Makayla asked her, "You always seem to be eating something."

     "I've got like three stomachs. Everyone calls me a garbage can when it comes to meat." Harp laughed while she replied, "You want some?" while she gestured the bag towards Makayla.

     "Uhmmm... yeah... sure. Thanks." Makayla responded with a small smile and a red hue to her cheeks after she looked at Mathi to which he nodded and shooed his hands to encourage her. Makayla delicately took a large piece of beef jerky from the bag and nibbled on it. Harp nodded her head with a broad smile.

     "Excuse me. Uhm Chipotle? That sounds Horrid." Holly interjected full of sass and a raised eyebrow.

     "C'mon babe, why don't we go? You can try to get along with some new people." Dave pleaded while he nudged Holly and raised his eyebrows. Holly made an exasperated sigh while she nodded her head in agreement and rolled her eyes. Everyone else just kinda looked at one another and nodded with a shrug.

    "Alright, sounds like a plan dudes! Let's head over now!" Andrew excitedly exclaimed as they all started to chat as they headed out the door to Chipotle.
