Living on the Moon

Ch 10: Too smart for an AP class.

Diana's pov

We run inside the building and start rushing to our AP Social Studies class. The second and last class all three of us have together. Daemon shifts into his raven form to go faster and he does. He had shifted and is keeping up with us. We make it to class and into the door right as the bell for class to begin rings. The teacher hasn't appeared yet so we are left standing in front of the silent room with all eyes on us.

"Ok class, we have new students today. They might not know everything because we are ahead of schedule so lets go easy on them. Shall we? Now let's start with introductions." The teacher says walking into the room and to her desk.

"Hello, my name is Terra, these are my pixies. Please don't mind them, they help me keep organized to to make sure i don't forget my head someplace." Terra says motioning to the pixies that are on her right side.

"My name is Diana Moon," I say introducing myself. "This is Daemon, he will not bother any of you so please don't make a big fuss about him." I say finishing with an award winning smile. The whole class but one person smiles back. That person is Daniel, why is he such a d***. I mean i am being nice and not saying anything stupid.

-we could have introduced ourselves as Princess of the Moon Diana Moon and Prince of the underworld Daemon Black. But we didn't; he should be grateful.- Luna says to me.

~Of course we could have; let's put that on the list of things that we can do if we get really mad at him.~ I reply.

"Your seats are in the back next to Daniel and Jake. Here are your books." The teacher says handing us our social studies books and the worksheet that everyone has out. "Everyone open your books to page 144, and start on paragraph 3. Answer questions 1-14 on page 156 and turn in your work by the end of class. If you need help ask me." She says while sitting down at her desk to grade tests.

"Daemon, do you want the pixies to fill out the seat for you and you can read; or do you want to do it yourself?" I ask him while setting him on the back of the chair next to mine. He hold up one wing. That means option one. I motion for Essence and Thornrose to come over and fill out the sheet as he reads the book. He points to the answers as he reads so that they know what to write. Good thing the sheet is fill in the blank. When I finish reading the pages and have filled out the answer sheet only 15 minutes have passed. I start on the 14 multiple answer questions on 156 and finish under 5 minutes. Daemon is just about finished so i wait for him before picking up our sheets and walking up to the teacher with him on my shoulder.

"Do you need help with the questions?" The teacher asks me when i reach her desk.

"No, i don't need help. But i do have a problem. I think you can help me with it." I say with a smile.

"So what is your problem?" She asks. "Can i see your work?"

I hand her our papers and decide to start talking. "Well our problem is that i have finished the assigned reading, the work sheet, and the 14 questions and have a half hour of class left." I say. She looks up at me with a shocked face. "Is there something more challenging that i can do. All of the information the class is learning for the first time is things i learned in middle school and i don't like review work, especially when it is this easy. If you have a book on earlier history or different work that would be great."

"Well, i don't know what school you went to before but they sound like a great place to get and education. If you want you can go to the library or if you want a challenge i have a task for you." She should already know the one i want to take.

"Challenge please."

"Daniel, please come to the front of the room." The teacher says. Daniel takes his books and papers and walks to the front of the room. The class ignores the sound of him walking and his books being shut and continues working. "Daniel, you heard we have new students right? Well Diana and Daemon seem to be too advanced for this class and so they said that they would tutor you. I hope this is ok. Remember you need at least a B on the next test or else."

"Let's go to the library to work," i say leaving the room, not checking to see if he is following me. I can hear his footsteps so i know he is. Suddenly Essence and Thornrose appear out of nowhere and ask if they should carry our books. Daemon motions to Daniel whose books are not organized and have papers sticking out of all sides.

-Not very alpha like,- Luna says.

~maybe it is just social studies he is having trouble with.~ I reply knowing that an alpha has to have all A's as a final grade to take the title and manage a B average for regular work to even qualify and he is taking AP classes so it makes it harder. He doesn't question how i know my way around the school but follows me as Essence and Thornrose start organizing his books and folders making it neat, with no papers loose. They also keep up with me while doing so. We reach the library where I stop. I turn around and say "We are going to do this my way, and no complaints or i will stop helping you. I like a challenge but if the person is not wanting the help i am offering they do not get help. I hope this is simple and make sense to you." I then turn around and walk into the library heading towards the history section.

For the rest of class i tutor Daniel and show him how to write things so he can find them later and understand them. I also show him about his book and how to read it so he can understand it. I quiz him on dates like, The Great Flood. Which happened in 1295 when the ice caps melted and the world flooded. The pollution and harmful chemicals released caused havoc on the people. The gods finally stopped it with their powers but everyone just thinks that a scientist by the name of Green Star finally found a way to filter everything through a machine that is now everywhere. They put them on solar boats and had the boats drive through the ocean and had wind powered airplanes fly with the machine running. This helped clean the environment and they still have boats and planes with these machines run today. Just that they really didn't fix the problem. The gods did. The machines work though, and they work well.

When the bell for class to end rings i head to my next class with Daemon flying above my shoulder. We sit through boring classes the rest of the day. But i feel like somebody's watching me. Whenever i turn around though no one is their and Thornrose doesn't see anyone. Essence is too busy taking notes for Daemon to look so we have to count on Thornrose. And i hope he is right; that their is no problem.
