Newton's Geek

A New Beginning

I walked into the class, ready for the worst. As I entered the room I saw that it wasn't so different from what I had been used to, there were about fifteen to twenty students in the class. The walls were white and there were posters all around the room. Most were of historical events, wars, discovery's, exploration, that kind of stuff. And there were others that had presidents, spiritual leaders, and even kings and queens. Most of the kids looked like they were fifteen or sixteen. And even though there were six rows in total all the kids were in the front two, except for one girl. She wore a dark hoody witch covered her face, and she seamed to have a dark aura around her. In the back of the class there were tablets, resting on a rack witch was on the wall. On the front wall there was a large piece of glass. It was slightly eliminated, and in the center it portraying  a man in a mask and a black cloak. To the right of what I thought of as a giant projector was a small marble desk. It was about five feet long and two feet wide. The teacher was a tall brunette women with a dark purple dress. Mr. Shols introduced her to me, 
"Welcome Eric, I am Mrs.Forester (later I learned her full name, Stephanie Forester). Mr.Shols has told me a lot about you, i'm looking forward to see how you do in class."he than leaned towards her and whispered something into her ear, (nothing of which I could understand)and promptly left.
During the class I learned that world war three started in 2056, it was fought by the Americas and the Canadian powers(the U.S.C), who fought against the Russian Empire(R.E.). They were comprised of Russia, all of Asia, and Africa. This happened 48 years after my "coma" began. Over 550,000,000 people died and about 2,000,000,000 had been injured, Africa had bean conquered by the R.E. and Australia had evacuated to South America. Theodore Newton fought in the war as a commander and help unite the Americas and Canada. Fighting to defend there land and freedom they where able to drive the RE to surrender. He was the peoples idle, they looked up to him and respected him. He had become a beacon of hope and pride for the U.S.C and thousands around the world. But after the war he was found to be a mutant, and as a result he was hunted for years. He finally found refuge in the north of Canada, and immediately set out to fine all the mutants he could. We don't have a full account of his travels but we now that he eventually  found some mutants and with there help he created this school. As a protective measure he disguised the school to look like a two story high school. But actually it descended 20 floors, this serves as the classrooms, dorms, and various rooms specific to students powers. I was fascinated with the history of this place, and after doing some class work Mrs.Forester introduced me to the class.
"Every one this is Eric."
I stood up and smiled" Hi"
"So where are you from Eric?" she asked, actually interested.
"Um, I'm from Vancouver Canada." I said.
A puzzled look went around the class. Had I said something wrong? I looked at the teacher...she was pail! I didn't now what to do, so I just sat down. After class the teacher puled me to the side, she asked if what I had said was true, or if it was a cruel joke. What part of that could be a joke? And why would it be cruel?
I guess my face said that I didn't know what she was talking about because she just looked at me...
"Seriously, you have no idea what i'm talking about?" Whats with the judging look lady? 
"Hay, this is a new time and a new school so....give me a brake!" As I was standing there thinking a person exiting from the back caught my eye. She made eye contact with me and instead of looking away she just stared intently at me, as if she had some dark vendetta against me.
When I looked back Mrs.Forester was in the middle of speaking.
"...was destroyed by the R.E. in 2061 by a bombing run."

...what did she say!?

"I'm sorry, what?"
"I now this must be hard to hear, but Vancouver Canada was destroyed in 2061 in a bombing run  by the R.E."
"But...my home...my family..." I didn't now what to do.
"N..No, yo..you must be thinking of a different Vancouver." I stuttered.
