A/N: Hey guys, I'm back. Sorry it took me so long. Last time I updated was … the week of Halloween. Anyway, here is a new chapter, finally.

Thank you for the reviews!

I hope you guys like it!

A/N2: The question 'What is Circuit?' came up. Circuit, short for 'Circuit Analysis', is … analyzing circuits. Calculating current, voltage, resistance. Stuff like that. We built an electromagnetic motor, and a slot car (Carrera in big) … great class.

Nile's POV

Math went surprisingly well. The teacher was okay, the stuff wasn't too difficult, nearly easy, and you got ignored when seated in the back.

Of course there had been the standard 'have you done that at your old school' question stuff at the beginning, and a few kids had asked for Nile's name, but that was it.

After finishing the in-class assignment AND homework – yes, class was easy – Nile thought a bit about the new school. Yes, it was different, but it wasn't as bad as expected. People left him alone, for the most part, and he had made a new friend. Kinda.

And exactly this 'kind of friend', the only person at this school he felt like tolerating, even liking, after talking with him for nearly a whole period, was the reason the Egyptian was actually looking forward to Latin, one of the worst subjects ever.

Nile couldn't stand Latin at his old school, mostly because he really sucked and couldn't stand the teacher. And now he had to take it again, thanks to his dad! Nile's father had chosen this school because there was a Latin-class.

The teen only hoped it wouldn't be too bad. Time to figure it out.

Kyoya's POV

Kyoya was already sitting in one of the back rows when Nile walked in. The new student made his way back to him and sat down beside the green haired teen. "How was English?", Nile asked.

The other boy rolled his eyes. "How was Math?"

"Not that bad, actually. How's Latin going to be?"

Kyoya looked at the new kid, surprised that they actually did school talk. Well, Kyoya had been surprised that they socialized at all, but he ended up … liking it.

"Not that bad either. She's a good teacher and I understand stuff. But I don't know about you. Have you had Latin at your old school?"

Nile nodded. "Sadly, yes. I really sucked and nearly failed."

"That's crap.", Kyoya said with a hint of sympathy.

Nile shrugged. "I only hope it's getting better."

"Yeah …"

The teacher entered the room and went to the front. She looked like she was in her early thirties. Her eyes wondered around the classroom, she spotted Nile and gestured him to come to her.

"I guess I have to talk to her …", Nile said to Kyoya before he walked up to the teacher.

Nile's POV

"What's your name?", the teacher asked as soon as the teenager stood in front of her.

"Nile Nairu."

After writing his name down on the student list she continued "My name is Ms. Newman. Do you have any experiences with Latin?" Nile made a grimace. "Seems like no good ones.", Ms. Newman concluded. "Okay, just try to go along with us. If you have any questions or don't understand something, go ahead and ask. If there's a problem, there are extra study-sessions every now and then. Just ask, okay?" She smiled at Nile, who nodded.

"Thank you." The boy went back to his seat and Ms. Newman started teaching.

It was hard to follow class for Nile, he struggled with most of the vocabulary and grammar made problems as well, but Kyoya was right, Ms. Newman was a good teacher. She explained it in a way Nile understood the new things, at least better than he had before.

Kyoya helped Nile as well, telling him a few mnemonic tricks every now and then.

All in all, it was the best Latin-class Nile ever had. Now he only had to make up about half a year of vocabulary and grammar. Easy task, right?

In the end of class Kyoya asked "What homeroom are you in?"

"223. You?"

"224. Next door. I'll pick you up after homeroom and we can battle, okay?"

"M'kay. Are we gonna battle in a stadium?", Nile asked. He wasn't that much of a fan of stadium battles.

"Only if you want to. I know a great place near a stadium. Different grounds. Different surroundings."

"That sounds great. See ya' later.", Nile answered as they parted to their last period classes.

A/N: What do you guys think? Let me know!

And I plan on switching to first person. Ever since I started writing first person, I feel more comfortable with it. If you don't want me to change it, tell me and I'll continue writhing in third person. :)
