Fighting with an Ardhi Element Leea wrote on the blackboard, which was against the only wall visible in the small clearing structure. The students sat on the floor as they always did, but the atmosphere in the room was very different.
Leea usually let them do anything they wanted, chew gum, listening to ipods while they had tests and quiet work, and she would get sidetracked, talking randomly to students and making frun of them, and they would all laugh alot. Today she stood rigid, and so did the rest of the class.
"Any ideas, anybody?" she asked with a ghost of a smile.

Kiki looked back and forth, her eyes nervous. Ticha Leea seemed so... different. She tapped her foot against the ground and stared at the blackboard, which would have usually been covered in notes like 'We love our Ticha!' or 'Go Ardhi!', or pictures of flowers and trees and crumpled up sticky notes that had stuck to the board on their journey. Now it was bare, and only the words Fighting with an Ardhi Element sat on the board now. She secretely played with her fingers, a small pink bud coming out of the dirt ground. She smiled, and picked it up, making her armor a little more decorative.
She soon quietly raised her hand. "Umm, Leea. Maybe... er.. we could try fighting with our element?"

"No sh*t" Leea snapped, then immediately felt bad. "Sorry, what I meant was, any ideas as to how we're doing this.. as in learning experiences..." she shrugged, pulling her hair back with her fingers. "Nevermind. Sorry you guys, bad mood today" she shrugged and looked at the class. "Now. Thorns. Stangling people with trees. Poissson. And such. Sound fun. We're going to practice, please pair up. No killing each other, I believe I'm legally responsible for not getting you killed" she grinned, feeling a bit better as the plants in the room poured their power into her.
"Another thing. When, and IF you're out there, fighting. Nobodys going to be practicing. This is real. So don't think you can hesitate, because those people out there won't hesitate to kill you. We aren't going to be fighting with sunflowers and tiny rose thorns, got it?" she asked, all humor gone from her voice, suddenly serious.
Feeling she needed to lighten up the atmosphere a bit, she grinned, "No pressure"
In the classroom, away from Felicity and Romulus and Sarai, she felt so much better, and so much happier, despite the fact that thing were sure to be getting much, MUCH worse.

Kiki's eyes fell to the floor and she sighed inwardly. Why was she always on the bad side of Leea? She KNEW inside that Leea wasn't totally in a bad mood- the Ticha just didn't like her much, and she knew it. She kept her eyes glued to the floor as she was swarmed by girls asking to be her partner. She pointed to a girl with long brown hair, and walked to a corner. When she looked up, she immediately knew that this girl was good. She narrowed her eyes, and got into a nice stance- this girl was a Zuri; she was a Safi. Without a warning, she lifted her arms and vine sprung from the ground, wrapping their slivery arms around the girl's ankles and lifting her upside down from the ground. She then pulled them tighter until the girl shrieked, and widened her eyes, lettinf the Zuri girl fall. The brown haired girl got up and walked over. "So. Your name is Kiki, eh? Well, Kiki," the girl spat on her name, "I'm not just some weak Zuri for you." She walked back to her stance, facing backwards. Just as Kiki was about to point out that the girl was standing the wrong way, Ms. Perfect-and-Wonderful did a backflip and kicked with her feet, landing smoothly on the ground in a perfect stance. Out of the blue, something hit Kiki, and she tumbled back to the wall. Immediately, another rock was flying toward her, and she jumped up, blocking it with a vine and shooting one for her. Another rock was being hurled toward Kiki- she jumped and landed on top of it, and stood. With all of her force, she brought a small tree out of the ground. She whispered to the sapling, "pono vestri telum inter puella", summoning the tree to wrap the branches around her. The tree immediately grabbed the girl by the waist, pulling tighter and tighter. Desprately the girl swung her legs around, making the tree release her, and before Kiki knew what was going on, a rock was pushing her to the ground. She tried to jump, and got mostly away before she was crushed, but her ankle stayed put. Kiki lay on the ground, on her stomach, and desprately tried to squirm away, but the rock rammed to the ground, right on top of her ankle, and she cried out in pain. She pulled her leg out of the rock, and whimpered, wrapping her arms around her as tears flowed down her face in pain. Her ankle was bruised, and obviously sprained by the way it was swelling. The girl's face was in panic, and she sprinted over, pulling the rock out of the way and hysterically trying to appologize. Kiki sat there, her ankle in pain, her blonde locks falling over her face, as she tried to ignore the pain in her ankle.

((Redoing last sentence because for some reason I can't modify, because the button isn't THERE.))
Kiki sat there, her ankle in pain, her blonde locks falling over her face, as she tried to ignore the PERFECT girl who has hurt her, trying to say sorry. Many girls were crowding around, their faces in shock, making a tight circle around the two girls. Kiki put her face down in embarrasement- it was as red as her ankle, tears rolling down her cheeks. Her ankle throbbed, and Kiki drew it close to her, not wanting anyone to hurt her more.

Leea rushed over, shoving students out of the way, too roughly.
"GINA" she shreiked at the girl, "HOW CARELESS CAN YOU POSSIBLY BE? WHAT KIND OF IDIOT NOTION WAS INTO YOUR HEAD. WE ARE TRYING NOT TO HURT EACH OTHER HERE!" She kneeled down next to Kiki, "Does this hurt?" she prodded the girls swollen ankle a bit, it seemed either sprained or broken. She swore to herself and turned on Gina again, "WHAT THE **** WERE YOU THINKING?! Come on Kiki, up. Can you walk? No. Crap." she wound her arm under the girl's shoulders, and pulled her gently to her feet, letting Kiki lean on her shoulders, she motioned to another girl standing against the other wall, "get her to the nurses" she instructed, and then looked at Gina. "That. Was. So. Stupid." she growled through gritted teeth. "You don't need to get that competitive." She swung around, and stalked off to the front of the room.

Kiki winced at the prod to her ankle- it did hurt. She would usually be independant about these types of things, being helped by someone else, but in this postion arguing would be no good. She leaned against the Safi, who was walking her out of the room, and turned to thank Ticha Leea, but she was already walking away. She looked down as she was literally dragged by the older girl, feeling embarrased as everyone stared after her.

"IDIOTS" Leea shreiked, and everybody looked. "Back to work." she growled, "Now." She dropped down at her desk, ruffling through papers with a little bit more force than actually nessasary.
