Oh. Oh. Oh.

Cela turned around in her seat and shot a sad little look at Plymouth, clearly completely confused and overwhelmed and suddenly completely uninterested in participating in class at all.

Turning back around, Cela managed to squish into her seat so that her knees were hugged tight to her chest, with her chin resting on one. She sighed a little and peeked at Copernicus before tentatively raising her hand after all, "Symbolism... theres the sign of the hallows. Because the cloak and the wand and the stone are the Hallows... its a circle with a perfect triangle and a line down the middle."

She didn't bother with a lesson, since the Zap was enough of one for her.

Sigh.
Plymouth could have done without that look. So he got carried away. He did. But it wasn't entirely his fault! Copernicus was just UGHISHLY perfect, and he had been... well... not all that BAD. Plymouth had even halfway liked him. He was going to be Plymouth's best friend...

... and he'd been TOTALLy betrayed. It wasn't that he had kissed Cela. It really wasn't. Under all of Plymouth's poofy hair and idiot moments, he knew his whole Celaship wasn't all that serious. She was fun and cute and he sure like skipping down the halls with her... and peppermint toads.... but that was about it.

He crossed his arms and sunk down deep into his desk. "Sorry, CellBell. Sorry," he breathed, sure that no one else could hear him.

He raised his hand a itty bit and sort of mumbled, "I guess another lesson is that some lessons are just never learned. You know those brothers KNEW better and they just did it anyway. They just did it cause they were selfish and wouldn't their cake and to eat it too."

His hand jerked into the air. "I thought of another lesson, Professor. The brothers already defeated Death. They'd won. But they just couldn't leave well enough alone. They had to gloat in it and act proud and superior and take the stupid gift from Death, and that's how they ended up losing everything. If they'd just left well enough alone, the first two brothers could have probably lived longer and fuller lives. But they were selfish jerks who only cared about themselves and they ruined EVERYTHING."

Cope jerked his bag open and pulled out a sugar quill, which went on Cela's desk. He then sunk down in his seat with his arms crossed. This was it. Plymouth could jump all over him, and Cope felt guilty enough to let him. But this constant public reaming, and dragging Cela into it... he wouldn't have that.
Plymouth would have raised his hand again, but since Copernicus was over there getting violent at his desk, and Cela was wibbling at him, and Anna was ... talking ... he just kept quiet. He did sigh REAL REAL REAL loud at big head Perni though. Idiot. Big mouth. Know it all. Betrayer and messer up of everything.
