Engineering Class

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Soon she had taken all of the robot parts out. "What's next?" She asked nicely.

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

Gwen turned to read the note from the assistant teacher. "I'm done. Can I show you now?" She still stood in front of the robot.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Cindy nodded and started to check Gwen's work, noting that it was surprisingly well-tuned despite all outer appearances.

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

"Don't touch it," Gwen told her, still blocking her robot. "I don't want you to mess with the sensor." She turned to carefully pick up the robot.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

She nodded again. I'll try not to, but I still have to check it, you know. I might have to touch it to feel for how thorough you did your work and that you're not cheating.

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

"You can touch it after I demonstrate," She said, setting it on the floor in the exact place she had noted earlier.
"Ready?"

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Alright, She took a few steps back to see what she would do with it.

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

Gwen turned the robot on and it's eyes flashed red a few times before it began to walk forward. It's arms had moved originally but she disconnected them so that it wouldn't trip the motion sensor by accident. It made it's way slowly, since it was a small robot after all until it stopped, directly under Dragos' seat.

((Just don't pick it up))

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Her eyes widened, clearly impressed. She made a small note of Gwen's current score on her notepad.

Dragos pulled his earbuds out and looked under his seat, pushing out his chair. "What's this?" He picked it up.

((What happens if you do?))

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

((It'll explode if there's movement))

Gwen cringed slightly when he picked it up and hoped her measurements were correct. Before she had time to pray, there was a loud boom.
There was a huge cloud of smoke, from the amount of sugar and her ears rang from the sound created by the screw bits. She blinked and reached down to pick up the body of the robot and was happy to see that the body was mostly intact, except for the breaking point. There was no shrapnel. Job well done, even if her head hurt a bit.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Cindy jumped at the sound and looked worried for a second before seeing it was the robot, making herself calm down. Was it supposed to do that?

Dragos let out a loud yelp and dropped the robot almost as soon as it exploded, trying to rub the stuff off his face. "So stupid! You could've ruined my devilish good looks!" He whined.

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

Gwen smirked at him and turned to Cindy. "Yes, it was. But he wasn't supposed to pick it up."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Dragos stuck his tongue out at Gwen. "You know, I thought you were cute, but now, not anymore!"

Cindy smiled lightly. Very good design work. The robot even managed to remain intact in spite of the explosion. How did you do it?

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

Gwen looked over at him. "Like I care."

Then she spoke to Cindy. "Where I'm from, we make shrapnel bombs and smoke bombs all the time. So I decided to put them together for a loud smoke bomb. I weakened the walls of the body so they would give without ripping."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

He stuck his tongue out at her before looking away again.

Very nicely done. You get a perfect score, She wrote down. She wasn't very god at engineering herself, but everything looked to be in order, so that deserved a perfect score, right?

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

Gwen smiled and looked over smugly at Dragos. Perfect score! In your face! she thought.
He was kind of handsome, even with a dirty face.
She sat down and pinched her hand between the seat and desk. Ouch. That brought her back from absurd thinking.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Was there anything else you needed? She wrote down, showing Gwen.

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

Gwen shook her head, looking up at the clock. "Class is almost over, right?"

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

She nodded and walked off to see if anyone else needed help.

[✺Zen Orchid ✺]

Oak flinched at another explosion, but this time Dragos's appearance was messed up. He smirked, and eaves dropped on their conversation. He wasn't trying to be rude, but he didn't that Gwen was attractive to be called cute, she looked mediocre, but it didn't matter to him. At least class was almost over.

"Everyone, finish up with your assignments! If you've already been checked, you can go. If not, get to finishing it and have one of us check it!" Zax said just loud enough to be heard over everyone.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"O-oh, finally," Keiko breathed a sigh of relief, picking up her fur coat and hurrying out of the class, hoping nobody was staring at her as she left.

"It's about time! Now I can finally blow this lame Popsicle stand!" Dragos jumped up, gathering up his things and rushing out of the room so he could wash his face off.

[Haaley, ᙏoᑯ oƒ ᙏᥲ⳽tᥱɾɩᥒɠ ᙃᥙᥒɠᥱoᥒ⳽]

Gwen followed Dragos out, thinking about what they'd be doing in her next class.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Honey watched the other students leave, blushing. She wasn't sure she could leave yet because she wasn't done, but she really wanted to.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Pay attention please," Siri said, not sure how Honey could possibly let her mind wander on something like this.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Oh! Okay, what else do I have to do?" She asked, snapping back into attention.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Well...put it back together," Siri said. "You remember how to now, right?"

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Uhhhhhh....not really," She admitted, extremely embarrassed.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"But you just took it apart," Siri said, confused. Reverse engineering came so easily to her that she didn't understand how someone could take something apart and not remember how to do it backwards.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"I mean....I can try," She said slowly, very slowly picking up the pieces and looking them over, trying to remember where they all went.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

"Anything you can get done is a step towards progress," Siri said with an encouraging smile. Her hands fidgeted as she tucked them behind her back. She wanted to help so badly. Needed to, but couldn't.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

She continued to work on it, still feeling incredibly unsure of herself. She just wanted to leave the class like everyone else had!

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

Siri backed away slowly towards her desk. She wanted to get back to working on what she had been before. She needed something to do with her hands!

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

She finished a few minutes later. "How does this look?" She asked shyly, raising her hand.

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

Siri went back over and looked it over. It didn't look good at all, and she could tell just by looking at it that it wouldn't work well, but she gave an encouraging smile and didn't point out all the things wrong because she was sure the girl would have burst into tears. "It looks good! I'll give you a....seventy-two for effort!"

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Oh, I really did that good? Well thank you!" She smiled widely. "So, I can leave now, right?"

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

Siri nodded, still holding the smile because it was second nature. Really the robot warrented a thirty something, but she didn't want to be mean.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

"Oh, thank you! You're such a nice teacher, Mrs. Deltorna!" She smiled widely and gathered up her stuff, soon running out of the class.

Cindy walked back to Zax, blinking. That was surprisingly eventful,

[☣ EMᕈRESS SERΔ ☣, Supreme Mod of Overcomplicated Projects]

Siri went over too and shook her head. "This job is too hard for me. Just look at my poor robot..."

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

You can't win them all, She shrugged. I'm glad nobody asked me about this. I would hate having to explain it twenty different times,

[✺Zen Orchid ✺]

Tamaki raised his hand, since he certainly wasn't done.

Oak left, sighing,

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Cindy noticed Tamaki's hand up and walked over to him, her long skirts swishing. I assume you need help? With what? She wrote down, showing her notepad to him.

[✺Zen Orchid ✺]

"My robot." Tamaki said pushing the notepad towards her, not understand why she couldn't talk.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

Well obviously, but what part of it? She wrote down. Everything about this guy overoozed confidence, and she hated it. Reminded her way too much of Camus.

[✺Zen Orchid ✺]

"I don't need help, check it already." He didn't even say more than three sentences and she's already predicting his character and getting annoyed with him. Why him?

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

She visibly rolled her eyes and took the robot from him to start studying it to see how well he did his job.

[✺Zen Orchid ✺]

Tamaki was about to throw it in her face, just for how rude she was being.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

After a few minutes, she put it back down. Surprisingly good work. Though some of the screws were loose, and if the robot were to actually move, they would all come apart. So I will give you a seventy-five out of hundred.

[✺Zen Orchid ✺]

"Thanks Miss." He said bitterly getting his things and leaving. Some weird robot female teacher...uhh.

[Elizabeth ♛Smart Girls Love Trashy Books♛ , Modess of Pinkness]

You're welcome, She wrote, staring at him as he left the class.
