Heart strings

First day II: News, appreciation and loss

The loud sound of the wooden floor slightly bending from the weight of someone stepping at the door made the classroom go quiet as everyone rushed to take a sit if not already. 

The door opened and an enormous hand held the side of the door frame. It was moose, a freaking tall male moose that had to crook a bit to get in the classroom. He was wearing a black suit and it was neat. He was looking sharp. His glasses were hanging on his big snout before his brown eyes that seemed to stare in the core of everyone. His face was a bit frowning as if he was angry or annoyed.

He walked towards his desk and dropped his bag then sat at its edge while crossing his arms. He faced us, saying nothing then he checked for his watch "7:59" then "8:00" AM. Just like that, something really odd happened, his whole face changed and was more joyful, he even had a slight smile. He got up and his loud voice echoed in the classroom.

?: "Hello everyone, I am Pr. Harry Baker. It's my pleasure to meet new faces this year again, for this course on Linear structure fundamentals. Throughout this week we will learn the basics on holding an idea from head to start for a story. You will be given a theme and be paired in groups of two to three to write a short story using the methods I will be teaching you. Here at RASAC, those kinds of exercises are as valuable as your exams so don't slack off. So without further ado, let's start"

He clapped his hands and everyone looked for their computers to take notes. Lauren couldn't help but make a comment to Wyatt "oo someone is so happy to work here" Wyatt chuckled and said "Common, poor guy just trying his best to do his job. At least he seems cool"

Lauren: "if cool means having ass this tight then yeah he is"

Wyatt: "(*chuckling*) stop focus on the course"

Lauren: "just saying (*chuckle*) meanwhile I literally have no idea of how he expects us to write a story in a just week"

Wyatt: "That's why you should focus"

Then they went quiet during the whole next 4 hours of course. It was actually funny, the lecturer was quite a character himself. He told students about the various ways you could project a point for it to be followed by another that respects the previous patterns while completing the track. 

He was very kind and patient, he answered all the questions he received and even got to help people understand throughout the courses individually. He left an assignment and the course ended. Wyatt and Lauren were really appreciative of the course and the way it was lectured so they got really involved by answering questions, giving insights and ideas. As the students were going out of the classroom, Pr. Baker called for both Lauren and Wyatt.

Pr. Baker: "my apologies for the small time I will ask you to give. But I was really impressed. In my career, I have met some students like you with quite a trait for story writing so I was actually willing to suggest you to join the literature club, I am the supervisor of that club."

Lauren: "we appreciate the compliment, I am actually already member of that club, hot registered last week by the president herself" (*smiling a bit*)

Wyatt: "and as for myself I would be glad to join the club as well. I intended to sign up today actually"

Pr. Baker: "what an interesting turn of events. I am very pleased to know that. Well then.  May i have your badge please to register you"

Wyatt handed the badge and in seconds, he was now a member of the club.

Wyatt: "that was way faster than expected"

Lauren: "Told you so"

Wyatt: "yeah"

Pr. Baker: "okay kids, I will be on my way now. Have a nice day"

Just like that, the tall moose got out of the room leaving just Lauren and Wyatt or so they thought. Wyatt noticed the lion didn't move from his sit and had his headphones on. He was using a controller, probably playing a game on his computer. Lauren dragged Wyatt out as they went for the next destination.

Lauren: "so where are we going now? "

Wyatt: "Don't know about you, but I'm starving"

Lauren: "hmmm so what about we go check the RASAC mall"

Wyatt: "wait...they have a mall?!"

Lauren: "yeah like plenty other universities around the states"

Wyatt: "yeah but others are quite large compared to RASAC. There is not that much students here, that's weird"

Lauren: "Darling, I clearly won't complain, knowing the closest place aside from it to eat is like at 15min of walk."

Wyatt: "well, yeah that sure might be the reason...ok let's go there then"

Lauren: "let me check the map" (*holding the map*)

Wyatt: "you know you could have just asked for the virtual version."

Lauren: "listen to me boy, I ain't got no time for you to remind me of things when it's already too late"

Wyatt: "just saying, so where is it? "

Lauren: "I can't find it, it's weird"

Wyatt: "let me check (*looking at the map and facepalmed*) dude...it's upside down..." (*sigh*)

Lauren: (*laughing*) "I understand why no words was written properly. Sorry (*smiling sheepishly*)

Wyatt: (*chuckle*) "I really wonder how you survived all these years and you get back home"

Lauren: "shut the fuck up (*laughter*) so the mall is actually...just besides the sports fields"

Wyatt: "okay let's go then"

Meanwhile...

(*grunts*)

Liam's POV (Wyatt's father)

I held my head slightly in pain. I looked for my phone and got through various texts from my assistant. He had done everything I requested and even got ahead by doing stuff I was supposed to deal with the next days. I smiled a bit a replied my thanks. I was still in the clothes I had at work. I got up and saw my keys on the table. I checked the time "12:15 PM" I sighed and got to my room. I undressed and got in the bathroom. The cold stream poured on my fur helping me fight against the fatigue. After a while I got out and looked at my phone I received another text from my assistant "M. Masao is here, what should I do?" I replied "Hold him still as long as you can, I'm coming"

I quickly got dressed again. M. Masao was one of the shareholders of the company. And his presence meant one thing, he heard about the Project W incident. I know it would be hard to make him understand the situation is under control...especially since the specimen W has found a way out. When I was done, I took my keys and head out. I got in the car and turned it on. I gripped the wheel and sighed "where the fuck did that thing went? "
