Mr. Corneille: look if it's about the presentation today I can totally extend the du..
Marun: no it's finished it's just I had a question about the requirements.
Mr. Corneille: sure go ahead.
Marun: Do we have to mention both our families traditions to get credit.
Mr.Corneille: no I've had Students do other things to meet the requirement you would just have to emphasize more on one culture comparison.
Marun starts walking away.
Marun: good than..
Mr.Corneille: hold on their Marun.
Marun walked back inside
Marun: Yes Mr.Corneille
Mr.Corneille: I thought you would want to talk about your culture after all you've only been here for about a week.
Marun: I know, it's just I've always been trouble at my old school.
Mr.Corneille: trouble well I don't really see you as a bad kid so..
Marun: I don't think so it's just every time I present my self it's just.. something always happens and..
Mr.Corneille looked at Marun then looked at his profile.
Mr.Corneille: it's okay I understand... Well class will start in five minutes so just take a seat and Marun.
Marun: yeah?
Mr.Corneille: if you ever need someone to talk to about well anything you can always talk to me.

Mr.Corneille: Ok class now it's time to present your culture projects now let's start.
As several groups gone by Idaho and marun were making final edits to the project.
Mr.Corneille: Okay and for our last Group Marun and Idaho.
The boys came to the front of the class and Idaho whispered.
Idaho: ready Marun?
Marun looked at Idaho and nodded
Marun: Mhm
Idaho: So Today we're going to be talking about one of my Favorite things in my life farming.
Marun felt frozen as he looked at the class.
Marun: ( stammers) Farmers ar-r impr-portant b-becaus-se
He looks back at the class and sees his friends giving him a reassuring smile. then he takes a deep breath and begins.
Marun: (Normal) Farm culture is much more important than people realize, without farmers we wouldn't have any of the foods we have today.
Darwin: I have a question.
Marun: yes Darwin?
Darwin: What's the process for farmers?
Marun: First a seed has to be planted and taken care of, watering it, giving sunlight, even nurturing it. Afterwards the farmers have to collect their product, ship them, and start again all without a word of thanks from the city for years and years.
Everyone looked back at them with tears of sadness
Sarah: wow
Darwin: I had no idea how much effort was put in for all of our food.
Marun: so you see we need farmers more than we realize and without them I don't think we would've survived.
Marun and idaho were walking back to their seats untill the whole class started clapping.
Darwin: woo
Sarah: good job
Gumball: I'll say
Mr. Corneille: nice job boys.

Everyone in the room was startled by Anias'es tone.

Anias laughed nervously. Anias: Rrright.
Bobert: I calculate a 98 percent chance of success.
Anias: good optimism bobert but we have a lot of work to do, But let's start off by introducing the newbie Brenda Nabal.
Everyone started clapping and Brenda was blushing.
Brenda: (nervously) H-hi everyone.
Brenda's thoughts: oh great now I'm acting liking a certain someone I know,way to rub off on me Marun.
Bobert came up to her offering her a hand.
Bobert: welcome to the club.
Brenda shook his hand.
Brenda: Thanks.
Anias: Alright so like I said Our competition with Ridgewood High is in a few weeks so we have to be ready to do our best.
Josh: Come on Anias this is Richwood we're talking about.
Yellow banana: yeah remember how easily I crushed them in that school dress code debate.
Anias: Right but did Banana joe really need to demonstrate without clothes on.
Josh: Don't look at me he thought it would make a stronger case.
Anias: Are you kidding we almost got disqualified for public nudity.
Joe: I.. Good point.
Anias: Anyways we have a different topic this year, is beauty only skin deep?
Joe: Really well this is going to be easy.
Rainbow kid: yeah everyone knows all chicks beauty is on the outside.
Joe: no actually Tobias on the inside right Brenda.
Brenda: I ummmm.
Anias: GUYS.
Everyone looked at Anias with shock.
Anias: We're all on the same team so we all need to work together, Anyways we are on the side showing that beauty is only skin deep.
Tobias: But it's n..
Anias: Anyways I want all of you proving our side the next couple of weeks and whoever does the best will represent us during the debate battle.
Tobias: well you might as well hand that to me because no one can beat me.
Anias: you lost 20 points last year by saying and I quote "If we don't get uniforms then guys will never get to witness the true beauty of a girl."
Tobias: uh whatever.
Anias: alright guys so I want all of you guys to start drafting your arguments and have them ready in a week.
Suddenly they heard a ringtone go off.
Anias: oops I forgot to mention about my alarm, well I guys see you next week with your rough draft arguments.
Brenda walks out of the class.
Anias: wait Brenda.
Anias starts walking up to her.
Brenda: Oh sorry did you need me to do something or did I forgot something.
Anias: no I just wanted to  let you know Not to worry about the argument draft not a lot of people get picked their first year of debate.
Brenda: Oh no worries I once wrote a 5 page essay all about Egypt and it's culture.
Anias: Wow I got to say I'm impressed well then see you next week.
Brenda: bye Anias.
Anias: see you next week.
Brenda was making her way to the theater door until she saw someone.
Brenda: Clare?
Clare: oh hey Brenda just wanted to see you after practice, so how did it went?
Brenda: It went pretty well I've got to say I need to make my rough draft argument by next week.
Clare: What's your argument about?
Brenda: Well we're trying to prove why beauty's only skin deep.
Clare: wanna know my opinion?
Brenda: sure.
Clare: Beauty is only skin deep because if we only hired people based on their looks instead of their skill we would work with people that know absolutely nothing and make zero progress.
Brenda: Huh you're right thanks for giving me that perspective.
Clare: No problem,so is this making you get over you know..
Brenda: Yeah I'm doing great.
Clare: Good cause to be honest all boys are kinda jerks you know.
Brenda; ( laughs nervously) Yeah well may..
Marun went up behind them.
Marun: Hey Brenda.
Brenda and Clare turned around surprised to see him.
Brenda: Oh hey Marun.
Marun: So who's your friend.
Brenda: Oh um Marun, this is Clare, and Clare this is my twin brother Marun.
Marun extends his hand.
Marun: Hi it's nice to meet a friend of Brenda's.
Clare shakes his hand.
Clare: Nice to meet you too.
Marun: I like your hair.
Clare: Thank you, your scales are very shiny.
Marun blushed and started getting flustered.
Brenda: Alright you little goofball now just go outside I'll be out in a few.
Marun walked outside of the school.
Clare: Ok I take it back I guess not all boys are jerks.
Brenda: Not jerks but maybe a little annoying.
Clare: He's so adorable.
Brenda: Yup that's Marun for you the smart, annoying, nervous, friendly dragon, and I couldn't imagine my life without him.
Clare: Well I got to go bye b.
Brenda: See you later c.
Brenda goes outside where Marun was waiting for her.
Marun: So did you had a good day?
Brenda: I'll tell you when we get home, how did the presentation go?
Marun: Great me and Idaho both got A's.
Brenda: See I told you you'd be okay.
Brenda stopped walking and started hugging Marun and Marun was shocked at first but hugged back with his tail wagging a little then  they stopped.
Marun: Woah what was that for?
Brenda: oh well, just because anyways let's go home.
Marun: alright.
Then they both lifted in the air and made their way back home.
