San Graciano High-School
Katie smiled at the next batch of incoming students, surprised this time to see more of the other institute kids in there. She hadn't realized they were all interested in her favorite academic topic in the world - computers. Especially even more surprised to see Eris who hadn't seemed to her like someone who liked to waste time slogging through homework for a difficult class.
The sight of Joey - though not as much as Eris due to his advanced warning - still surprised her. His words of earlier brought a faint blush to her cheeks but she managed to keep her mind focused on the task at hand.
The inital excercise results got her frowning at the results. For the second class yet again a significant percentage of students who couldn't do it. Maybe this is too hard? she thought, glancing over the scores. But...its so easy...I even gave them a choice of languages...
Eris and Joey's (and any of the others if you don't have at least a 10 in Computer Use) scores made her wince a bit. Maybe a tutoring session at the institute might be in order...

Eris took her seat at the computer next to Joey's . It had actually been a long time since she had seen, let alone used a computer, she was out of practice. She waved to Katie as she took her seat, wondering how tough Katie was going to be on her and Joey. The first exercise was a complete fiasco, even if she hadn't been out of practice she still wouldn't have been able to complete it. It was simply too difficult for her to do, especially the first day of class. She wondered whether Katie had ever actually been to a highschool, and whether or not she knew how uncool she was being.
"You still want to bring her to the party? she might get lynched if she keeps this up." she whispered to Joey

Joey smirked, "Dude this is like buku hard, I think she does not realize, that not everyone has dedicated their lives to C++ or what have you. I can see what you mean, I may need to have her mellow out a little on the whole, work ethic thing, or maybe I am just in the wrong class," he shrugs, as he whispers back.
Joey then spoke up, loud enough for Katie to hear, "Uhh teach, yeah, okay, umm this may be a stupid question, but could you like show us how to do this, I left my Doctarate back home, and I am a just a little rusty," Joey flashes his boyish grin.

Color suffused her cheeks (damn she hated how easily that always happened!) at Joey's words, especially how the rest of the class seemed in complete agreement with him. Was it really that difficult? It was already bad enough that she was so nervous on this very first day!
"Well...ok." Katie cleared her throat and gave the whole class her very best, most charming smile. "You can choose any language you like, but we can start with the basics for the 'hello world' program. I guess you're all rusty from summer."
Sliding down in her seat, she tapped the keys on her computer. "The 'hello world' program is the most basic program in computer science. It is always the first program you create when learning a new language." She eyed the rest of the class from over the monitor of her laptop. "If you don't know that much, you probably need to take the basic computer science class before you come here."
"The object of the program is always to output the string 'hello world'...whether on a command line or GUI interface...that's GUI for Graphic User Interface...is up to you and the ability of the language you choose. Now, let's start with how to do this in Java..."
Slowly she went through the steps of the example, trying first in C, then C++, then Java...explaining the differences between the languages and demonstrating how it affected such a simple program as 'hello world'...the icon of computer science first steps.

Eris still wore her look of confusion, yes she knew how to use computers, but that didn't mean she knew anything at all about programming. She was assigned to the class when she said she knew about computers, it wasn't exactly easy to find classes for kids who arrived in the middle of the school year, so a new class and a new student were kind of a match. She hadn't known exactly what Katie's class would imply.
She just puttered around on the computer not actually accomplishing anything, just wasting time. She decided to have a chat with Katie before bed about it. Even when her pheromones weren't being used for seduction they still had a markedly positive affect on people. I really hope she loosens up.

In one of Clair and Micheals classes:
"The latest Russian revolution"
the teacher has just written the words on the board and allready there are bored moans in the class. The teacher of course starts to talk aniway. It is Mr Redge, a black man from america himself. Talk is he fled after he was forbidden to teach real history to his students.
"Okay folks I don't care if you want to hear this but you damn sure should know, cause of someday we are all blown out in one big nuclear explosion this will be one of the sides that you have to thank. Of course, you have all heard about the big breakdown in 88. No don't give me that look, I know you have forgotten it but i just told you last month. Okay, the short version is that it all fell apart in the Soviet Union. The long term effects of communism had brought the Russians to their knees and no amount of force from the government could prevent hungry people from going to the streets or an econimy without resources from breaking down. It was time for a change in leadership and for a short time it looked like the Soviets could even become democratic. Of course you all know that it didn't happen that way and the mere idea makes most people laugh. But it could realy have happened as unlikely as it seems then you look at Russia now. Fact is that for some people the changes did not come fast enough and the decided to take the matter in their own hands. Especialy one General Mikhail Tretyak. Yep that's the one called Mighty Misha by the media, don't tell me you don't even watch news animore. At that time General Tetyak was the official head of Grimson Pride. Oh yes of course you have heard of those, why doesn't it wonder me that you know about people who blow up a lot of stuff. For those of you that do not know, Grimson Pride is the name the Russians gave the Delta Special teams of their country. The General was one in a long line of leader the government had appointed for the squad since they did not want to give one of the mutants the command. They where just as paranoid as the american government after Kennedys death. Unlike his precedors General Tretyak did not meet an unexlpained early end since his people highly repsected him. It's said that this was for the simple matter that he rarely sent them on suicide missions. There are no actual facts available about his command of course so all this is just speculation. The fact is that he just stormed the goverment and took over the country in a bloody coup. He personaly shot every member of the politburo that wouldn't pledge his unswerving support to the new regime and he did it live on TV so we can be fairly sure it realy happened. If i can get the permision of your parents we might watch those scenes next week but I warn you that this was realy a terrible moment.
Tretyak lived by one rule: "Might makes right" and he had a lot of might on his side, especialy after the other military forces joined him. He weeded out corruption in the government with way that would even have impressed the inqusition and within weeks he had the country rolling as if the troubles of the early 80s had just been a bad dream. Most historians asume that wihtout him the Soviet Union would have crumbled and the Iron Curtain would no longer exist."

Joey listens intently, though on her lesson, her words, or just her cannot be really seen, or maybe it is obvious, but he tries to not be, he liked the brainy girl, so smart, it was enticing, definitely something that had him going...
Joey followed the steps, and pulled it off, impressed with his teacher, "Wow, that was cool, not bad once I we get some direction," he looked up to Katie, "I guess I should have read through the course catalog instead of just picking the classes based on if it was taught by a hot betty or not."
Joey leaned back in his chair some, admiring Katie for a second, before glancing to Eris, despite her look of frustration, she was even more enticing, sometimes life was good, until he realized they were roomates. Sometimes life is not so good...
Joey leaned forward, and typed a message to Eris that popped upon her screen, "Hey don't worry about this class, my dad did this kind of stuff for a living, so I learned a thing or two, around him?"
