My Most Difficult Student

Chapter Two: A Horse or a Camel


Mark Adams smiled brightly. Nothing could ruin his day, not even his students. The reason for his happy smile was this: Duo Maxwell was absent. The class was easy to control without that mad-man doing something to cause pure chaos.

"Now class," he said with his smile firmly in place, "I would like you to turn in your history repor--"

A light 'clip-clop' sound reached his ears. It was a familiar sound, and quite a few students knew it. Snickers and giggle erupted around the room as the color and smile ran from Adams face. It couldn't be…

A small figure wrapped in a torn, dust desert cloak walked in with the hood pulled over it's face, goggles and scarf over the lower half . This wasn't what shocked him thou. What shocked him was the camel.

The camel was being led in by the reigns, overstuffed saddlebags over it's hump. It was a very odd sight to say the least, but not as weird as the fast that there were no camels on this colony, not even in the zoos.

The person began to rummage through said saddlebags, and after a few moments of searching, pulled out a few pieces of paper. With the papers firmly in hand, he began shoving the camel out of the room.

Snickers erupted from every direction, and Adams paled further. This isn't happening, he repeated to himself.

Frustrated with the beast, the person spun the reigns quickly before smacking the camel's ass with them. The camel ran from the room. With that, the figure nodded, obviously happy with his success and proceeded to sit in a desk with taking off the hood and scarf.

"what did you think you were doing with that camel Mr. Maxwell?" Adams groaned, his good mood ruined.

'I don't wanna talk about it…"

Mark noted the annoyance in the boy's voice, and became all the more curious.

"Don't worry, Mr. Maxwell, we won't laugh," he said with a smile.

"I'm not talking."

"Dou, why don't you tell us?"

"it's none of your business…"

"Where did you get the camel, Duo?"

"I said I don't wanna talk about it!"

"Yes, you do!"

"That's what you think!"

"You will tell me!"

"No, I won't!"

"Tell me where you got the camel!"

"I plead the 5th!" Duo yelled, laughter erupting from the rest of the class as the comment came from his mouth.

Adams fumed. Duo was getting the better of him again. No… Duo had gotten the better of him and he knew it.

"Everyone," he sighed, "just turn in your papers…" He pointed to an empty tray on his desk as he stood behind his podium, his head on one arm.

While explaining the assignment for the day, Duo proceeded to ask what sex he was and laughed hysterically at the answer, thus causing the rest of the class to laugh. To save himself anymore embarrassment, Adams went back to his desk.

Hesitantly, he picked up the reports and blanched. Duo's paper looked up at him innocently. It looked normal and Mark almost let out a sigh of relief, but held it back hen he saw what the little demon had done.

"Duo?"

"I said I wasn't gonna tell you about the camel!" he said sounding as exasperated as he tried to get Adams to fell everyday. The class began to snicker and giggle.

"Duo, what's wrong with your paper?"

"Nothing…"

"okay…" mark said, thinking carefully about his next words. "Then what language is t in?"

"Arabic," Duo said, obviously smiling at Adams dismay.

"Why is it in Arabic?"

"Because you never said it had to be in English," duo said mater-o-factly.

The class laughed again. Duo had managed to get the better of him yet again.
