School

yes this is another Ender saga based fic. yes im the one who wrote NOT FROM THE ENDERVERSE. (read it if you've read some of OSC's other books. namely the Alvin maker series, the homecoming saga, and enchantment) NO this is not an AU. even if it might seem that way. If Card writes another Ender book it will be but... as of now it isn't.
Disclaimer: I hope you realize that I don't own anything at all having to do with OSC or any of his great works (except maybe a copy or two of about 20 of them) so don't sue! Even if you did you'd only get... *rummages through pocket* ...50 cents, a pen, a pencil, a hall pass, and a cookie. ooh, cookie! *eats cookie* yeah. that's it. I'm not restating this in later chapters unless I introduce something else that I don't own (which is likely). its to depressing to deny ownership of something you love *sobs* On with the fic!
*action* 'thoughts' "spoken" sounds
---chapter one---
*sigh* 'public school. again. at least this should be better than before. at least here education is based on ability.' The young woman, probably around fifteen or so, sighed again. 'I'll probably be bored out of my mind until Peter's class. Then I'll just be really scared.'
"-mu" a women at the front desk said, "Si Wang-mu, is that you? over there?"
"Oh, yes, I'm sorry. I was lost in thought about the new school"
"Whatever. Just come over here so you can get your classes assigned."
'Touchy, touchy! someone forgot there coffee this morning.' Then a dirtier part of her mind said '...or she isn't getting any...' Wang-mu gasped to herself for thinking such nasty thoughts. 'Oh well, I guess that's what happens when you're married. Especially to a 17 year old boy with hormones raging.' Peter really was far too young to be a school teacher. 'Well we have to do something with our time. No better way to start life off Path then by getting a conventional education, I guess.'
'...of course, marriage is important too...' (A/N: yes I'm bringing that up a lot. I won't later. but to start off I will.) She began rubbing her ring gently in her nervousness.
"Now, which classes would you like to take from this list?"
She quickly scanned the list. "Erm, may I request a teacher for a particular class?"
"Which class?" the aide replied, "Math, literature, biology, and chemistry are all assigned based on skill level."
"Earth history. I heard professor Wiggin is an excellent teacher." She prayed silently to herself that there was still an opening.
"Let's see, let's see... as long as you don't have any preferences about period assignments or any other classes I can assign you to his seventh period class."
There were nine periods in the day so... "that's fine! I am just really interested in Earth history and the history of Locke's Hegemony. So I want to make sure I get the best teacher." "Are you positive? He's a very strict teacher. And you seem to not be as knowledgeable in this subject then some other students in his class."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. So, the other classes I want to take are Math, Shakespearean literature, chemistry, pre-penology, philosophy, art, and..."
"oh, no you have to take gym. school policy. And I noticed you didn't include a foreign language. Do you already speak one fluently?"
"Yes, Chinese is my first language and I passed the entrance exam with high enough marks that I don't have to take Common."
"Oh, all right. then I'll have someone show you around. Mr. Delphiki? Can you come here please?" (recognize that name? you should. If you don't, then stop reading this now. The rest will be major spoilers for Shadow of the Hedgemon and Shadow Puppets)
"Yes, Ms. Lenin?"
"Can you show Si Wang-mu around? she has all of your classes."
"Sure thing. I hope you're prepared for one heluva teacher in prof wiggin. He just started this year."
"Hmm. Yeah I think I'm prepared. And what's your first name, 'Mister' Delphiki?"
"It's Julian. Call me Julian. Can I call you Si?"
Wang-mu burst into laughter.
"What? What did I say?"
"Si... *pant pant* is my surname. You really have no idea about oriental culture, do you?"
"Erm, no. sorry if I offended you."
"No, It's not a big deal," *gasp* 'someone just asked me for my forgiveness and we just met! I'm still not used to this whole "not being a servant" thing.'
---the end of third period---
Julian and Wang-mu were rapidly becoming good friends. (no, I'm not going to shove peter and Wang-mu apart) There was just something about him that gave him an air that was kind of like the one Peter and Valentine carried around. It was on there way to pre-xenology when Wang-mu asked, "Have you ever been off-planet?"
"erm, yes, actually I have. a few times. why? have you?"
"Yeah, I traveled a bit. What planet are you from originally? I'm from Path. It was a colony up until a few months ago."
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you..."
"Try me. I've been known to believe the impossible and watch it come true."
"all right, promise you won't tell any one?"
"promise." "Earth."
"Cool! I know a few people from Earth. Er, one person. Who do you live with?"
"No one. I live alone. I'm 16."
"Oh. what happened to your parents?"
"My father died when I was about three years old. My mom traveled, er lived with me until I was fourteen. Then I left. I had promised my dad I would do something for him, so... here I am!"
"That's very honorable of you. Promise you won't tell anyone my story?"
"Sure"
"Okay, on Path there are or were two very distinct social levels. The servant class and the godspoken class." ring she was cut off by the bell.
"I guess I'll tell you later."
The teacher walked in and winked at Wang-mu. "Hello class, it looks like we have a new student!"
A/N: So? Like it? hate it? constructive criticism I accept, but no flames. they will be used to make me smores. not taken seriously. REVIEW PEEPS!!!
