~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The whole enrollment process was stupid. However, the lady that Hee Chan and Hilde called Miss Catalonia.she gave me a candy bar while she and Hee Chan discussed arrangements for my class.

"You said he was seven years old? Well that should put him straight into year 2."

School is a place where people are supposed to learn or that is what Father Maxwell has always told me. He said one day when I was with a family he would make sure that I had the opportunity to go to one and learn about the big wide world. But since I was already seven and had no proper family to go to Father Maxwell had decided to take matters into his own hands. Together with Sister Helen, they taught me how to read, write and count.

Hee Chan nodded. "But he comes from the orphanage and I'm not sure of his learning ability."

Miss Catalonia raised one forked eyebrow. Eek! She looked freaky.

"That is not a problem. I can arrange for a simple aptitude test if he knows how to read and write.that is. Can you write little boy?"

I looked up at her with a chocolate covered mouth.

"Yeah! I can write."

"Can you read?"

"Yea I can read."

Miss Catalonia smiled and walked over to her computer. She pressed a few buttons and 3 pages came out of a printer then she turned to Hee Chan and Hilde.

"This may take a while, at least 30 minutes but you are welcome to sit outside and wait."

Hilde tapped my shoulder.

"Remember. Ask for help if you need it." She said before walking out of the room.

Miss Catalonia came over and handed me the papers and a pencil.

"Here you are. Just answer the questions. If you don't know how to answer one just leave it blank."

I looked at the simple questions on the page. This had got to be a joke I thought. I gave Miss Catalonia a questioning look but she simply smiled at me sending a shiver down my spine. Ugh I thought and put pencil to paper.

"Fourth grade?!" I couldn't believe it. Miss Catalonia had just told me that Duo was going to be put into the fourth grade. "But he.he can't even pronounce my name properly and you're just gonna throw him into fourth grade?"

"Is there a problem with that Mr Yuy?" she asked. "Because if there is then I can make other arrangements.it's just that his test results are outstanding. Incredible! I have never seen a child pass this test with full marks. He really shouldn't be attending an arts school. He should be going to an academy where child prodigy's are more common."

"F.full marks? Child prodigy?" I choked on the word and stared disbelievingly at my younger brother who was currently being praised by Hilde. Then the piece of paper in Duo's hand caught my attention. It was the exam paper. I took it off Duo and scrutinized it for a moment. His writing was lopsided but readable and the answers were correct. I shrugged. .

"I have a genius for a brother."

"Yes it was just as well that he took that aptitude test. Otherwise he would have wasted two years doing things that he already knew how to do."

Miss Catalonia handed me a sheet of paper with Duo's classroom number on it. He was going to be in Lady Une's class. They lucky duck! Everyone knew that Lady Une was the nicest teacher in the entire school while I had Mr Tsuberov.the nastiest and grumpiest old man I have ever met.

I felt a tugging on my sleeve. It was Duo trying to get my attention.

"Hee Chan. Take me to my classroom. I wanna see it. I wanna see it." Hilde smiled at me. "Why don't you go on and take him to see his new class? I'll go back and tell Tsuberov that what you're doing. I nodded.

"That's a good idea."

Lady Une had been my first grade teacher so I was pretty surprised that she still remembered me as soon as she saw me. "Heero Yuy. What brings here?"

I nodded at my brother and explained to her my situation. "Ah the younger brother of the perfect student." She paused.

"Even though you're not blood related I can already tell that you have some talent in you. I still remember introducing painting to Heero. He threw the paint bucket into the bin and drew me a stick figure with a perfect circle for a head and straight lines for the body, arms and legs."

Ugh! She just had to go and tell Duo about that embarrassing moment.

I looked down at Duo who was already engrossed with looking at the many instruments and art tools in the room.

"Duo you can let of me now. I need to go back to class."

He immediately let go and headed for the drum kit located at the back of the room.

Oh great.now he'll be telling mom that he wants a drum kit for Christmas.

This place was amazing! It was toys galore! More toys than the toy department that Father Maxwell had taken me to for my birthday. Of course I wasn't allowed to get anything but just looking had been so fulfilling for me. And now! I was allowed to play with anything that I wanted to. Immediately the drums in the back caught my attention.

"Is there anything that you would like to try first?" asked my teacher, Lady Une. I nodded and pointed at my choice.

"That's what we call a drum kit." We walked over to it and I sat on the seat. She began to adjust the seat so that the height was just right then took hold of the sticks in front of me. "Now you hold them like this and you hit the drums and cymbals in any order you like. Here like this."

BOOM BOOM CRASSSHHH

"Ok." I said and gave the drum a good whack.

BOOOM

"I like that sound." I told my teacher happily. BOOOM.

Lady Une smiled at me. "Good, then I'll leave you to play. If you want to do something else just give me a yell.

A CRASSSHHH was her only reply.
