• • • [ Vanya sat at his desk with a folder out filled with student's work. His computer sat in front of him, a screen open of his student's grades. He stretched his back before getting to work. Slowly and steadily, the work he had eventually dwindled into nothing. He progressed enough to satisfy himself. He got done what he needed to.

Now he needed to prepare for the class. He took out some notes to review before the class started. He made sure to pay attention to key facts he had to mention. He had done this a million times before so it wasn't anything new to him. Regardless, he wanted to make sure that he wouldn't miss anything.

Slowly he stood from his spot and made his way to the board. He wrote down his name for one. God only knows how many times students forget his name. Afterwards, he wrote down information that was key in his lesson. He was pretty straight forward about what was important. His class was pretty simple and easy to learn from, but he wasn't known for being the most likable teacher. ] • • •

A purple-haired male, came walking into the room, his head cast down as he held a book before his face. One eye was covered with his hair and the other seemed focused on the page before him. Rei had turned the corner into the room with no trouble but when it came to walking into the unfamiliar surroundings of a classroom, he seemed to fail....miserably. The senior ended up bumping into the first desk by the door and he fell forward, landing with his stomach on the desk, the book dropping from his hand, as well as his school bag and Rei blinked a moment to make sense of what had just happened. "Eh...?" he muttered as he looked down at the now scattered contents of his school bag. Quite the entrance, messing up the classroom on day one? Would have been nice to know that would happen before hand...He thought too himself with a sigh. Rei didn't really notice the teacher as he stood up and knelt down to pick up the things up he had dropped. He blew a large bubble with the pink gum he had been chewing as he stood up and began to rearrange the things in his bag to make them fit again. He had the book he was originally reading set aside though he had to search for the page he had been on. He picked up the book and began to look through it before he realized the other presence in the room. As he turned to look at his teacher, he let the bubble pop and he began chewing it again. "Ehh....sorry about that...Mr......" Rei said as he scratched the back of his neck and he looked at the board to finish his sentence. "....Lauh....Lauri....nev?" he said trying to sound out the name correctly but failing horribly. He was bad with pronouncing overly complicated words and it looked like this teacher's name would be one of those words...

(Aries) {Taurus} (Gemini) {Cancer} (Leo) {Virgo} (Libra) {Scorpio} (Sagittarius) {Capricorn} (Aquarius) {Pisces}

But first I must know....Are you a monster or a man?

• • • [ The teacher slightly jolted at the sound. The letter he was writing trailed off into a large scribble. He froze for a few seconds before turning to see the source of the sound. By that time, the boy who he assumed to be a student, was practically finished cleaning up his mess. Given the fact that the table was relocated and his books spread out, he could only hypothesize the basics of what happened.

Eventually the student took notice of the teacher standing at the front of the classroom. Upon apologizing, he seemed to butcher his name. "Larionov..." he said to correct him. Perhaps it would be easier once he heard it. "If it is difficult, you can shorten it in any way you like." It was better to say it shorter correctly rather than struggling with the full word each time.

He erased the ruined letter and capped his marker before walking over. He grabbed onto the ledge of the desk to move it over and straighten it before turning to the student. For a few seconds he looked him over. "You didn't injure yourself?" he asked. Though the student seemed fine, Vanya was still concerned.

He paused for a few moments before opening his mouth to speak again "By the way, I don't mind gum in class but don't blow bubbles or stick it under the table. The only other place it should be besides your mouth is in a gum pack or in the trash." It was something that bothered him enough to bring up. The stuff was like concrete once it dried and impossible to get out when it was sticky. In fact, the thought of getting it in his long blond hair bothered him. ] • • •

THE ＳNOW'S ϩHADOW

Noah headed down the hall, still unhappy he was here at all was beside the point. He decided to at least try not to get kicked out of this school, at least not while the watchful eye of his brother ever loomed over head.
He peered into the room he thought he was meant to be in and paused...here right?
He took a step in and saw someone, "Geography right?" normally full of himself and cocky he was unsure that he was in the right place a good 80% of his life. He shifted uncomfortably waiting for an answer.

• • • [ Vanya's hazel eyes drifted over to the door as he heard someone else enter. It seemed like more students were starting to come in. The student seemed unsure about the class though. "This is Geography" he replied to confirm the location for him. Vanya didn't know what business he had with the class, but he could only assume he was yet another student. "There isn't assigned seating so you are free to sit wherever you want" he added. He glanced back at the student who came in earlier. He seemed fine so Vanya went back to the board. He finished up writing everything down.

It would only be a few minutes to get the mundane introduction and class expectations out of the way. It was their first day so he didn't plan to load them with a lot of information. In fact, their only assignment for the day was to review what they were going to read as well as look over their syllabus. They would just go over one of the chapters which went over the basics. Most of the information would be repeated later so it wasn't important for them to take notes for today. ] • • •

Noah let out another sigh before heading straight for the back of the class. He choose his seat and pulled out a sketch book and a pencil. As always, determined not to pay attention, he looked around the room to draw someone or something of interest...he found nothing to really set his sights on so he closed his eyes. He tried to remember his mother's favorite flower. Azalea? No that wasn't it? Daisy? No no... Lilly? Nope.
"Hmmm." he said aloud but busy in his own head.
What...was...it...?
He started to tap his pencil in thought.
Bacopa! He opened his eyes and wrote down the name so he wouldn't forget again and started to draw the plant from memory.

• • • [ Of course he sat in the back. How original. The boy seemed to make himself busy. It didn't look like some notebook though. For a few moments the classroom seemed to get a bit chilly. Vanya glanced over at what seemed to be an empty corner of the class. Soon after, he dismissed whatever had seemed to catch his attention. It was about time for the class to start.

"Take whatever seats you'd like" he told the remaining standing students. "My name is Mr. Larionov. I will be your teacher for Geography" he said, introducing himself. He stood firmly at the front of the class, facing the students. "We will be examining the relationships among people, places, and environments that result in patterns on the Earth’s surface." He walked to his desk to picked up a stack of papers. He handed them to those at the front of the row to pass back. "I'll be handing out a paper that goes over my grading scale as well as what we'll be covering throughout the year. I made note of assignments as well. I will be reminding you in class of what work you have due on the board. As of today, you only have to just look over your syllabus and look over the chapter we will be reading in class" he took in a breath of air after his brief introduction. He had said a lot. Speaking was just a small part of a teacher's job. He looked to make sure that everyone was following along before he continued. If anyone had missed anything, what was important he made sure to put on the board as he prepared the class earlier. ] • • •

Rei watched as the teacher fixed the desk he had misplaced and he still gave him a nervous smile in some form of apology. He sighed as he got out his book once more and began to search for the page he had been on. Rei had a bad habit of zoning out in settings like these, so he was lost to himself when the other student arrived and even more lost when he was told to sit down. It wasn't until he herd the small sounds of desks being moved that he registered that he should pick a seat. He looked back at the white-haired boy who seemed to stand out to him. There was a story there...but he first sat himself in the from row by the window. Now, Rei was far from an honor student but due to having an eye-patch covering one eye he always sat close that way he could actually read what was on the board. Damn this depth perception sucked so badly at times... He looked up at the teacher only half listening a** he took the papers and passed them back, his eye drifted to the book he had set aside and his mind went to the page he had yet to find. He couldn't help it, Rei pulled the book closer to himself, over the papers the teacher had handed and he began to flip through to find the page. Then book he was reading was on the history of Wicca, and he was just getting to a rather interesting chapter about the killing and persecution of the women that practiced it during the 18th century. So he needed to find the page he was on again, Rei had already dismissed everything the teacher had said without really meaning too.

Noah was intent on not paying attention. Out of sight, out of mind of the teachers. This was how Noah operated. He was a good student, honestly, but for some reason once in his head he couldn't leave it. So when the paper landed on his desk he was startled. He sat up and looked around then blinked and recalled where he was then sighed again and shoved the paper aside and continued to draw the detailed lump of green leafs and white flowers that is a bacopa plant.

• • • [ Well, the students were being students. Vanya didn't care all that much. They had their own way of doing their work. Usually he didn't bother with students unless they were trouble in class or if he noticed issues in their grades. "We'll be reading the first chapter on page twenty-seven. It's not required to take notes for today because it's just a basic chapter. We will be going more in depth on what is mentioned as we continue through the book. There are some points to make note of..." he went on to sum up the chapter in just a few words. He mentioned a few terms that they would expand on later.

He liked keeping it short and sweat. Most students didn't aim to become geologists so he just taught what he thought important for the class. Any time he summed up the chapter, it was word for word something that would be included in any future tests or quizzes. Though some students didn't pay attention, those who have heard of or looked up anything on his class before made sure to note down what he said. If someone was curious about learning more, he would answer whatever questions they had. Usually when he taught a presentation, that was when he really taught what interested him. It was something to listen to, not take notes on. When he taught from the book, he mentioned what was required for him to teach. That was the important stuff to make note of. It was fine on the first day though.

He didn't speak for long and finished quickly. "You may spend the rest of the class doing other work. If you have to talk, be quiet. If you have any questions or problems feel free to come up and ask" he said. He was okay with them making small chat with their neighbors as long as they weren't loud and got him in trouble. It was good to have someone they knew in a class. Vanya went back to his desk and sat himself down. He took out the papers from another class that he needed to check. As he graded, only a few students came up to ask him something. It's not like he made anything difficult to understand. He was quite forward and clear. Usually it was questions from the reading. ] • • •

Noah finished with a flourish and signed his name at the bottom of the page. He'd be sure to send it to his mother in the hospital. He smiled to himself even although his brother was the genius and he was told he couldn't do anything right by everyone but Nathan.
So he torn the paper out carefully and slowly and folded in in the letter thirds and put it back in the book. He closed his eyes and sighed again, He hummed for a moment then looked up at the ceiling.

• • • [ During his grading, he spotted a familiar last name, Snow. "Hm..." he pondered over it for a few moments. It must be a coincidence. It seemed like a possible common last name. He glanced up at the student. It wasn't like he had seen the person to compare him to. He gathered the papers and filed them away. He always made sure to sort things properly. It just made things more efficient, clean and organized.

He looked over at the clock. There was only a bit of time left in the class session for students to finish up with whatever they had to do. Since Vanya finished his grading, he decided to take out a book. He liked older literature; to be specific, historical and mythological works. He took out a book containing tales of norse mythology. He was only able to take a few books with him to the dorms. Luckily he had someone at home to watch his collection. ] • • •

THE ＧENIUS ȘNOW

Nathan knocked on the door softly holding his younger brother's book in his other hand. Nathan knew Noah was always a thoughtless boy but to forget his book on the first day? He sighed, somethings never changed. He opened the door, "H-Hello pardon the interruption, I just thought my brother could use his book." he said with a warm smile.
