KAMA- Just a quick warning, there will be violence in further chapters. Later, Mikhail will give Zack and Cody tips on how to get the girl they love to fall right in their hands. It's common stuff, the twins just don't know about it. Not much going on in this chapter. The action starts next chapter.
The following day was Monday. Another normal day of school for the twins. Or so they thought. Zack and Cody were in their homeroom class. Cody was sitting upright and at full attention with his assignment pad out his previous assignments in a small pile on one of the corners of his desk. Zack was half asleep slouched in his desk, eyes barely open, papers already scattered everywhere. That's when the teacher walked in.
"Class, we have a new student coming to our class, all the way from Quakertown, Pennsylvania." Zack and Cody are in a class that consists of 6th 7th and 8th grade. Zack and Cody look up to see Mikhail walk into the classroom with a notebook and a pencil. The teacher had everyone say hello to Mikhail, and then told him to take a seat. He took the empty seat behind Cody and next to Bob. The teacher asked if any of the students wanted to help Mikhail study what was previously taught. The twins said they would. In truth, Cody wanted to see just how smart his newest friend was.
Zack was waiting for Cody and Mikhail outside of the school. When both kids came out of the school, they started to run home. When they got to the Tipton, Cody said they should finish their homework before they do anything else. Zack reluctantly agreed and followed Cody and Mikhail to Mikhail's suite. When they got there it was empty except for a sleeping Justin on the couch. Cody took his work out and started to finish it with ease. He had just finished when he saw Zack was copying him.
"When will you start trying to learn in school?" asked Cody.
"When someone can explain what we're learning in a way I can understand."
"What aren't you getting?" asked Mikhail. Zack told him he didn't understand how to find out a certain percentage for a number, who Kim Il-Jung was, what the effects of Radium were, that sort of stuff. Cody looked on in amazement as Mikhail started to work with Zack at a comfortable pace. Slowly Zack was starting to find out how to do math, know history, and even started to understand some of the elements. Just an hour and 30 minutes later with 10 minute breaks every half hour, Zack had learned everything the homework asked for. Cody couldn't believe it. Mikhail was teaching the unteachable. When Zack left the suite practically dancing since he didn't have to worry about homework anymore for the rest of the day, Cody asked Mikhail,
"How did you do that? Not even our teacher taught him that much in a school day."
"Zack is not one of the kids who understands things right away. You can't pile too much into the brain at one time. Sooner or later, the info will be passing through those person's ears. You need rests so your body can absorb the info you have been given so it can take in more." Cody was amazed at what Mikhail just said. He knew Mikhail was gonna be smart, but he didn't think Mikhail would know teaching methods. Justin had awoken from his slumber and started running out the door to terrorize Mr. Moseby. That was his new favorite hobby. Mikhail shook his head.
"THAT, is the unteachable." Both kids laughed as they left the suite.
