Chapter 189 - The School - III
Political science.
That was the first class that she was attending with Elizabeth and it honestly could not go more wrong.
This was not good. She did not understand a word!
The books were correct. They were the exact same ones that the professor had opened in front of him and he said that he would send them the handwritten notes by tonight. Each and every child would have to copy them in their own handwriting.
There were only sixteen children in her class and Adeline's first thought was that she was going to have less competition and it would help and succeed. She was pretty much at the bottom of the class because she did not understand a single word.
"Now, there are only 15 minutes left for the class to be over. I want you all to do a quick revision to what I have taught you today, brush over the topics and let me know if you have a doubt in any of them." The professor said as he took a seat finally. He had spent the entire class standing and explaining everything to them.
Everyone opened their books along with Adaline who tried to read over everything to see if she understood anything.
Political ideas, ideologies, institutions, policies, processes, and behavior, as well as groups, classes, government, diplomacy, law, strategy, and war.
She closed the book.
She had never heard or seen such topics. The remote topics that she had seen regarding politics was when people were roasting each other's careers or the news channels were doing it.
Behaviour; what was behaviour doing in politics? She could understand ideologies but then what were processes doing here?
WAR?!
She placed her head in her hands and then laid down on the table. She was officially depressed. The school had depressed her. The unbelievable happened.
She didn't look forward to attending this class tomorrow.
Single bell chimed and it was over for them. They had a twenty minute break in between as they only had four subjects of an hour each. The next teacher would come in after twenty minutes as this professor left and added in once again banged her head on the desk.
"Woah," Elizabeth whistled, "What's up Addy?"
Adeline sighed. She then turned her head slightly so that she could see the girl who was sitting beside her. "I'm done for the day."
"I am done for life." Elizabeth shrugged.
Adeline then remembered what she had thought about earlier and sat up in her chair. Thankfully they all were sitting in a single chair with the desk attached. It was really good at defining personal space.
"Elizabeth," she began carefully trying not to offend her friend in any way, "How . . Did you come to this world?"
"Realm." Elizabeth corrected her, "realm is a parallel of the world. More like an imagination but it's true."
She cleared her throat, "And to answer your prior question. I am Dylan's mate and he is the king's delta."
"Delta, as in the war commander?"
Elizabeth pursued her lips and little. Adeline was off the track but she was correct which is why she nodded. "That's it."
Adeline nodded, "So he shifted here?"
Elizabeth nodded. "When save your pic am the king it was up to everyone to fight it out and see who comes on top. Dylan was good at fighting and had strategies the best."
"That is good to know." Adeline smiled and praised. "What about his brother?" Dylan had a younger brother and he seems to be wanting to take care of his younger brother.
" He lives with us now. He is really a cute child Adeline, you must meet him!" She gushed, " like I used to hate children, I mean whenever I threw tantrums, but this one is so good and understanding and I don't mind an occasional tantrum or two."
Adeline laughed lightly. It felt good to have an old friend back. With Elizabeth it kind of seemed as if the time lapse in between never happened. They have bounced right back.
"The next class is economics." Elizabeth sighed and picked up her bag. " For this one we need to move to the business room."
"Really?" Adeline started to pack her bags as well. "I thought we would be attending classes in this room only."
Elizabeth shook her head. "Technically there are a few classes allotted to certain room's. Like political science. You will have the maps and charge decorating the room," Adeline noticed, "the rest will happen in our classroom which will come to know tomorrow as a first class is there tomorrow."
Adeline nodded and walked along with Elizabeth who seemed to like she knew where they were going.
This place seemed like a luxurious academy. Also like a maze where she knew she could get lost anytime.
"So do you know where we are going?"
Adeline stopped and turned to her with shocked eyes. "You don't know where we're going?" She hissed at Elizabeth who looked just as shocked.
Elizabeth gaped at her. " No! I thought since you came here early you must have toured the place."
"No I didn't!" She shrieked back. " Oh my god!"
A small vibration was heard widening Elizabeth's eyes. "Shit, warning bell. The teacher must be coming in."
"We-well," Adeline took off a bag from her shoulder and tried to open the zip of the bag with panicky hands and take out the booklet. The booklet had the room numbers written in them.
"Hurry!" Elizabeth whispered to her in a hurry as she jumped on her feet constantly. She had completely forgotten that she had the booklet as well.
"What's going on? Why are the two of you not in the classes?" They heard a booming voice making Adaline drop her bag and turned to the voice.
She was on the verge of raising hands and surrendering to the enemy. God! She was going to have the worst first impression ever.
"They are with me." Her breath hitched. "If you'll be kind enough to excuse us."
