Student Name: Kanda
Response: Kanda didn’t like this assignment. Talk about a bad day? Even if it was just pretend, she didn’t want to think about all the things that could go wrong. She sighed, leaning her head against the palm of her hand. Well, might as well get it over with. The teacher wouldn’t change her mind about what she wanted them to do just because Kanda didn’t like it.
“A bad day would start out with my dad forgetting to make breakfast, or even worse, burning it. (He does that sometimes). Then, on the way to school, we’d get stuck in traffic. I’d make it to school on time, barely. The teacher would probably be a substitute who wouldn’t know how to sign and then I’d be stuck playing the pointing game all day with them. Then at lunch, they’d be out of my favorite fruit and I’d have to settle for the sad pudding that nobody ever gets. At naptime I wouldn’t be able to sleep because someone else kept throwing a fit. Then after school, daddy would be running late and I’d have to wait on the benches outside for him to come get me. And, while I was waiting, it would probably start raining.”
None of that sounded like any fun, and she bet if it happened, it would be a miserable day. When Kanda turned in the finished paper, she gave Sprite an unhappy look.

Student Name: Elliah
Response: Oooh, five minutes into class and she already had a feeling she would be enjoying this class. It was almost like the beginnings of her photo sessions. Of course, sitting in a room watching TV wasn’t her cup of tea, but if she was on it, it’d be a whole different story. She forgot about the teacher and whatever the lesson was supposed to be. If she was on TV, it would be for one reason.
Her, Elliah, strutting down the stage of a runway, wearing the newest design. One that she had helped to bring to life. Cameras would be flashing everywhere; her parents would be sitting in the front row, both of them bursting with pride and bragging that ’there’s their little girl.’ Everybody would want to talk to her, to get her opinion on their new designs, or to ask her to be their next model. Everywhere she went, people would be clamoring for her autographs, her attention. And when she had an off day, when she didn’t feel quite like a she, she would be able to relax with the highest quality things, in solitude or with a group of close friends.
The images were so vivid, so compelling, that when the bell rang for class to end, she jumped. She quickly scribbled down what she’d seen to turn in before packing up to go. That brief picture of all that she was working for was enough to make her eager to go into her next classes. She would be the next top model and designer, she just knew it.

Student Name: Cyril
Response: Just sitting and relaxing, imagining something that made them happy sounded like the perfect antidote to his previous class. Having a magic battle, even if it was just a practice one, was stressful and draining. Plus, he had a feeling that he’d be seeing his opponent again very soon, and not in a good light.
Taking a deep breath, trying to even his heartrate and calm himself again, Cyril focused on the lesson. Something that made him happy, huh? That was easy. He would be surrounded with history books and delicious food. There would be plenty of new tomes for him to read through, and small portions of his favorite foods and new foods he’d never tried before set within easy reach. A couple nightmares that had a similar interest would also be there, peppering him with new interesting facts. They could converse about the different histories of the races of below and above. He would be calm and feel good in his own skin. That sounded so nice and soothing.
Cyril could feel the smile curling the corners of his mouth up and just for that short moment before class was over, he felt calm and collected. Feeling more at ease, he wrote out his response for the teacher, turning it in with a small smile.

Student Name: Agave Chai
Response: “My name is Agave Chai. I am an imp, raised at the Academy, with a small friend group and a dedication to beverages that many find unique. There are so many different things I could say that would explain who I am, but none of them truly define me. I am not just the sum of my parts, I am more than they could be individually. I could describe myself to you, but that wouldn’t be the entirety of who I am.
And every day, every day I change, for better or for worse. They might not be big changes, but they’re changing me. Everything that I’ve experienced, and that I will experience, will be an event unique to me. Regardless of how others in the same situation would react, my interpretation would be completely individual.
So to explain who I am is simple, but one of the hardest things for someone to do. I am me, and there’s really nobody I would rather be.

Student Name: Aleanette
Crossword PM'd?: Yep~
Response:
A crossword puzzle? The young hybrid sat straighter in her seat, beaming at the class instructor as they passed out the papers. Aleanette loved puzzles of any kind, so this was her favorite class of the day! With a sweet smile and a quiet ‘thank you’, she plucked her writing utensil from her desk began the process of reading through the hints to fill in the blanks. The tip of her pen flew gracefully over the paper as she filled space after space, losing herself in the simplicity of solving the near riddles before her eyes. After several minutes, she set her pen down and stood to take her completed crossword to the instructor’s desk with her sweet smile still in place across her lips.

Username: Onewintersnite
Student Name:Kayla Sue
Haiku:Excitement and nerves
fashion fevers rise
the show much go on.
Response: Kayla Sue sat down to write her Haiku out. "What the chicken is a haiku anywho?" she thought to herself. Get on her laptop she looked up how to write a haiku and found a couple of good sites. Clicking the first site it only gave her the history one how a haiku was founded, so she closed that window. Not that she didn't care about the history...ok she didn't care. She clicked the next window which was much more helpful. "5 to 7 to 5 syllables. Ok?" she though "But how does it work?" Scrolling down some more she finds some examples "Perfect." she says out loud proud that she has found some helpful information finally. After picking a top, Kayla sue begins count with her fingers each syllable of each word to make her haiku until it all fits and get her point across. “Excitement… 1 2 3. And…4. Nevers…5. Ok good that’s five.” She jots down the first line on some note book paper. “Next line Fashion…1 2. Fever…3 4. Rises…5 6. High…7. Ok ok I got this one more line.” Scribbling the second line down she is feeling pretty good about this assignment now. “Alright last line. Oh oh I know!”, she says excitedly, “I hope it will work. Ok… The…1. Show…2. Must…3. Go…4. On…5.” Writing the last line down she says “YES, yes it worked and it perfect.” Taking her paper with her new-found talent, to her teachers desk she couldn’t what to see if her teach liked it as much as she did.

Username: One Little Jay
Student Name:Estrella
Haiku: One shy little star
Was lost, had fallen so far
Still so bright it shined.
Response:Estrella wasn't much of a writer. She crinkled her nose at the task at hand. Perhaps she could come up with something. After all haiku's were meant to be short and followed a particular pattern. Surely she could mimic it and while it may not be eloquent it would be good enough to get her out of class. She first had to think of a first line and that was easy enough much like everything in her life it revolved around the stars. She would tell her life as a falling star. Who had lost her family, falling far away from them, her stone being long forgotten. Yet she was still a positive girl, she made friends and though she spent most of her time dazed and off in another world she still liked to believe that she shined brightly.

Username: Embi-lamb
Student Name: Arceus
Haiku: I wish I could see
How you made me feel this way
But fish never could tell
Response: Arceus cracked himself up. Surely the teacher would get a kick out of his ridiculous poem. It started off sounding like a love poem, then suddenly turned in to a fish story. It was absolutely brilliant!
Arceus dissolved in to giggles as he leaned back in his chair, trying his best not to draw too much attention to himself. He didn't want the teacher asking questions until he handed in his poem.
He couldn't wait to show Pann what he wrote. He could practically see her rolling her eyes at him, and it made the boy almost squee with absolute delight.
Good times were headed his way!

Username: Embi-lamb
Student Name: Pann
Haiku: Fans dance softly in light
Until their is darkness upon them
Paper and fire ignite.
Response:
Anyone who knew anything about Pann and her passions knew exactly what her haiku was about. Arceus had given the poem a read over before the hallowed elf had submitted it. She had received Arceus' seal of approval and that was good enough for her! She was sure the teacher would love it.Though she did worry that they might get suspicious about her after school activities, what with her mention of fire and all.
But it was too late ... Pann had already submitted the poem. There was no turning back now. Pann just had to wait and see the teacher's response for herself.

Username: Sami-Fire
Student Name: Caela
Haiku:
I have a pink star
In my tail, and that's really cool
You can't have it though
Response: Caela was unsure of what to write about at first, but then she remembered that lots of people were fascinated by her floating bits. Lots of people really liked the star piece, so why not write about that? So that's what she did. She had a bit of trouble with counting the syllables, though; some words could be tricky, and there were a few outtakes where she accidentally put an extra syllable in. Still, she was satisfied with what she made, she could say that much. Short and to the point. Maybe she should write these haiku things more often?

Username: Nasaiki
Student Name:Solomon
Haiku:
Flower fading now,
Curling in the heat of day
Soft beauty ends
Response: Mmm poetry. It had to be the most evil thing in the universe. Okay it wasn't the most evil thing ever. However half the time it went over Solomons head, he was more the science and math type. The type that liked cold hard logical facts, sure he supposed he did like music and experimenting with sounds and different melodies but poetry. Poetry was like a language that refused to give up its secrets.
Haikus weren't the most evil of poetry, for him it was probably the easiest but ... still. Well an assignment was an assignment, and he would try his best,
Writing it down, he looked at it and frowned. Well he tried. Inspiration gotten from the fact it was summer and with the heat coming most of the spring flowers would wilt and die away. Sort of morbid, but there you go.

Username: Nasaiki
Student Name:Viaresu
Haiku:
Feathery wings fly
Fluttering happily high
Never want to land
Response:
There often seemed to be an adversion to poetry. However while it wasn't Viaresu's favorite thing to do if worst came to worst he could compose a poem pretty well, or at least he thought he could. He tapped his pencil on the desk, making sure to keep it light and silent as much as he could. While it was a bad habit, that and chewing on the pencil eraser, he didn't want to bother some one else who was struggling with the assignment.
Hmm well poetry was always easier when you used experiences or feelings from yourself. What was something relately easy that came from...viaresu trailed off in his thought pattern as his eyesight landed on one of his feathers. Wings and flying would definitely be a good topic,
