Diaries of Maxwell and Yuy, Book One: Chain of Commands
Chapter
1: Are You In or Out?
The
sunlight flooded gently against the windows of the villia that housed
university teacher of physics Doctor Heero Aliksander Yuy and his assistant of
teachings Professor Duo Zavyer Maxwell.
Heero
threw on a black rimmed hat and a jacket over his jeans and a tee shirt and tie
"Come on Maxwell, we'll be late!"
Another
male voice rang out sharply from inside the apartment "We're always
too early, Heero. It won't make much difference."
The
teacher slumped into a large leather armchair and sighed. Now that Duo was on
the late side again, they'd be an hour later than usual. "Hurry
up!" he shouted once more.
"Alright
alright! I'm here!" Maxwell straightened his black tie and labcoat
which hung loosely over a black shirt and long pants. He slipped on his loafers
and snatched a suitcase, Heero following not far behind.
Duo
slowed his pace when he checked his watch: 5:15, 2 minutes earlier than he
expected.
Olympia,
Washington was really quite the...most boring place in the world. The
University in which the two taught wasn't the hotspot of America either.
Dr.
Yuy slid into his empty classroom and turned on the lights, sitting at a
hardwood oaken desk with neatly organized stacks and pencil holders. Maxwell
yawned and thudded his suitcase upon a large pile of papers otherwise referred
to as the surface of his desk. He stared up at the clock and spun in his
rolling chair until he was dizzily sick.
Heero
glanced up at the creak of an opening door as students began flooding his
classroom. He stood up, removing his glasses and placing them on his desk.
Once
everyone had been seated, Yuycalled them to attention "Now, as
you've learned, your Finals are in the upcoming month. Physics is one of
the main courses you must survive to pass on into most jobs. Yes, Mr.
Lethwyler?"
The
boy in the third row towards the middle piped up "But what if your soul
job requires-"
"The
ability to flip burgers? Then you're well covered for that one Jason. Put
your hand down before I knock it off with a mallet." Duo swung the wooden
weapon threateningly, listening to the stifled giggles among the other
students. He'd always been a favorite among the hallway conversations and
in social events.
Heero,
on the otherhand, was reveared. In brains, strength, will, and his single
ability to conceal fear. Many of the students who had formerly been class
clowns now had their every whim set on his words when he gave speeches or
lectures "Ahem, thank you for that inspiring warning Maxwell, put that
away before you break something. Now, it is required that you know all of the materials in your books. Ms.
Awlay, can you tell me what happens when you mix a compound of Nitrogen and
Carbonated Potassium?"
The
blonde turned awkwardly from a conversation with the guy behind her
"Uh...you'll get the compound fo' eyeshadow?"
Duo
stood up and applauded "Your intelligence level has astounded me with
your ability!"
"Yea'?
What ability?" she spun her blonde hair about her finger.
"The
ability to drop the IQ of your fellow students to an amazing 2.0 average!"
he stopped abruptly and glared "No, you get the compound for carbon
monoxide and or Nitro-potassium if mixed correctly. Now turn about and pay
attention, that is, unless you'd like to include all of us in your little
social gathering." Well, let's just say she shut up.
Heero
grinned smugly "Alright then, anyone else wat to try a hand at my next
ques-" He was cut in by his phone ringing. "Maxwell, will you
cotinue?"
Duo
strode before the class "Since I have a theory that a bigger majority of
you will get the marvelously wonderful grade of an F+. My, my, what an
improvement from your usual F-'s that is!"
Heero
tapped his shoulder and dismissed the class, a grave frown plastered upon his
face. "Maxwell, we're needed in Ireland on another missing persons
case." Heero threw on his cloak and hat "And we're needed
now."
