When the bell rang for class people ran for cover under tables and chair to hide from the blast of
noise.RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG
Almost every single student let out the biggest sigh of their lives. Everyone slowly gathered their items and dragged themselves across the campus to their classes. The Once-ler checked his schedule 'plantology' he sighed though he was interested in the use natural products like how he used the tuffs of the truffula tree for his hit creation THE THNEED. He he looked to see if anyone was still in the hall, only the three blind and the Lorax remained in the cafeteria. Without fear of judgement he laid on the floor and slithered to class. The Lorax walked by "slithering?"
"Yuh" the Once-ler replied.
"Just don't slither into any gum on your way." He smiled
"I promise my Cheeto" he said sarcastically. Lorax rolled his eyes with a grin and he scurried off to class (contrary to popular belief short people and walk really and I mean REALLY fast).
The Once-ler didn't why he loved to slither so much. Maybe it was the soft breeze in his hair or the freeing feeling of non-conformity. Maybe it was how he slithered past through his house as a child so he could actually eat something. Maybe it was how much his mother hated this rebellious ritual.
Anyway he got to his plantology class early as slithering is a fast mode of transport. He got up from the floor and dusted himself off. The teacher looked at him judgeingly. He stared at her dumbly as if he did nothing out of the ordinary. He made his way to a seat in the back row. Just as he began to bend his knees to sit down the teacher coughed rudely snapped her finger and pointed to a chair in the front row.
'HELL NO' he thought 'I KNOW OLD ASS LADY AINT MAKING ME MOVE TO A FRONT ROW SEAT BECAUSE SHE IS SO JUDGEMENT OF MY SLITHERING THIS IS HOMOPHOBIC AND PREJUDICE'
'and how is that prejudice and homophobic?' Said his conscience.
'BECAUSE... IM BI YEAH THATS HOW ITS HOMOPHOBIC AND IT PREJUDICE BECAUSE... IT IS DISCRIMINATION AGAINST SLITHERING KIND'
He rolled over the desks to the front of the class and looked up.
"I know what you're thinking, I didn't call you to the front to annoy you. I called you to the front as I believe you have mounds of potential." She smiled and walked away. The Once-ler had no idea how she new that but he did know her voice was weird.
The Lorax hurried in and sat behind the Once-ler. The Once-lers eyes followed him as he walked among the rows of seats. Lorax smiled at him. He smiled back. The Once-ler felt his cheeks flush red he turned back quickly hoping he didn't see him blush.
The flow of zombie looking students flopped into class and sat scattered throughout the class.
"Class you all chose this class to learn about plants" the teacher said (suspicious sounding like a falsetto) "I did too this is my first year of teaching, this is a learning experience for all of us. BUT BEFORE THAT... there's something you should know..." she pulled off her wig and wiped her makeup off revealing a handsome middle aged man. He was gingerish had a beard which was somehow hidden with the makeup. He ripped of his dress and fake boobs revealing a set of comfortable robes and a ... lightsaber?
Everyone looked at each other their plantology teacher was the galactic hero, Jedi master, had the coolest beard and absolutely no connection to plants, THE OBI WAN KENOBI.
"Master Kenobi why are you our teacher you don't do anything with plants."
"That's where your wrong, I stood next to a bush on Naboo and I got why Anakin liked it so much and he totally didn't like it there because of the minimal sand."
Everyone exchanged a look of confusion.
After 45 minutes the lesson was sadly over. Though everyones expectations of this class were low as the teacher had no experience, he made the class surprisingly enjoyable while also teaching about plants.
