blocks the hallway with a wide stance What's up, fugly? Mirror crack when you looked at it today?
not as much as your face cracks
leans in closer, smirking Oh is that so? Maybe you should take a closer look at yourself before throwing stones.
alright then... walks up close to him ...not pretty at all...
pauses, taken aback by StatVamp's boldness Well, well, well, looks like someone's finally admitting the truth.
yeah...finally...now can I go to class or are you trying to stop me again?
smirks and crosses his arms Slow down, "lady".
...it's Stat. not lady...but sure, Axel...
raises an eyebrow Alright then, Stat.
thanks...now can I actually go to class without any more interference from you?
steps aside, gesturing dramatically Be my guest.
...finally. thanks. walks to class without looking back
watches StatVamp walk away, muttering under his breath Well, that was...unexpected.
...good unexpected, not bad unexpected though.
As StatVamp enters the classroom, they notice a new opportunity to join the school's debate team that will determine the next class representative.
...oh, looks like there's something interesting happening in class today...
enters the classroom behind StatVamp, curious about the commotion What's all the buzz about today?
seems like they're recruiting for the debate team.
leans in, intrigued Debate team, huh? Well, well, well, looks like someone's aiming for class president.
not aiming for class president. just thinking it could be an interesting experience. plus, it'll help boost my grades which aren't exactly where they should be.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Well, well, well, looks like someone's setting their sights high.
smiles slightly Yeah, I figure why not start somewhere.
chuckles, leaning in closer Well, I guess we'll see how this unfolds. Good luck navigating those debates, Stat.
thanks. hopefully I won't trip over my words too much.
grins mischievously Trip over your words?
...that would be ideal to avoid, yes.
smirks, leaning back in his chair Well, with the way you handle yourself, I wouldn't be too surprised if we see some memorable moments.
chuckles lightly Hopefully memorable in a good way. we'll see.
The teacher announces that the debate team applications are due next week and will be reviewed in class.
looks slightly nervous but determined Well, looks like I've got a week to prepare my arguments.
leans back in his chair, a glint of challenge in his eyes A week, huh? That should give you plenty of time to gather your thoughts.
nods, taking notes in their notebook Yeah, and make sure I don't forget anything important to cover.
During lunch break, StatVamp seeks advice from the school's librarian about preparing for the debate.
enters the library, looking for useful resources Excuse me, Ms. Thompson, do you have any recommended books or materials that could help with public speaking and debating?
Ms. Thompson: looks up from her desk, smiling warmly Of course, Stat. We have an entire section dedicated to speech and debate resources. Let me show you where it is.
follows Ms. Thompson to the relevant section, scanning the shelves with interest Thank you so much, Ms. Thompson. This is incredibly helpful already.
browsing through some books himself, notices the section and joins StatVamp Looks like we both found the same treasure trove of resources.
notices Axel and smiles, feeling encouraged Seems like we're both serious about improving our skills.
