He eyed her. Wasn't she still mad at him? Apparently she got over it. Hmpf, it was quite unnatural for her to just forget something. She must be growing up. Or maybe, she simply forgot it out of shock. After all, an Evan Cartwright on a broomstick wasn't something you could see daily. Actually, this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance she was seeing right now , because he wasn't getting on a brook EVER again. So, in a sense, she was witnessing history. Hehe. Wise thing to put aside her feelings on such an important day.
"I wish your eyes were deceiving you..." he muttered mainly to himself, barely audible, although if she--and the Huffie Champion, for that matter--listened carefully, they could still hear it. Forcing himself to smile, he nodded. Honestly, even he didn't think himself on a brookstick, and the next thing he looked today, he was here. His legs had betrayed him.
"Life is full of surprises, eh?" he said. This was too much of a surprise though, he didn't like it. Was she crazy? Of course he did not want to race! He wanted to stay alive and healthy, thank you. And he didn't like that evil grin AT ALL! Looking to consider the offer, he glanced over the champion, then his hands which felt sore because of holding the broom for his dear life, he finally looked at her with a shrug too casual.
"No, I'm fine here. Later, maybe?" As in eternity?
Marie couldn't help but be amused by the look on Evan's face. The boy looked like he was about ready to pass out from fear.
"Aw come on, you don't mean that now. Flying is really fun once you get the hang of it," she said.
"Who knows, maybe some day you will be flying circles around me." Now that would be something that would really surprise her.
Aww he wasn't going to race with her.
"Not later, now." she said. She knew if she didn't get him flying now there may never be another chance at it.
CRUD!
Professor V blew the blasted whistle.
"Looks like you lucked out this time," she said.

TWEET!
He pulled the whistle away from his mouth and spoke rather loudly like a coach barking instructions to his players on the court during a game. "Everybody land and return your brooms to the rack!"
Flying back down to the broom rack she dismounted the cleansweep and put it back in the rack. She then went to sit down to wait for the next part of the lesson to begin.

"Now that you have flying on broomsticks out of your system, let's discuss flying in general," he began.
"Why do we fly on broomsticks?"
Which was talking and discussing why they fly. Well this was going to be boring compared to the actual flying. Right, she would just let the other students answer that one.

Bathtubs and recliners? Had the man gone crazy... probably. Raising her hand she said
"Bathtubs and recliners wouldn't be very convenient and they probably wouldn't be very aerodynamic either. You wouldn't be able to get the same speed on those as you can a broom." Yeah, Marie was all about flying FAST, unlike
Destiny, or Evan some people she knew.
