Leon's surprise confused her for a moment, before she realized that government may not be a required class in England. At any rate, she expected that he wouldn't know much about<span style="font-style: italic">US</span>government. Charlotte made a mental note to give him her notebook, so that he could at least have something to study. "It's not too complicated," she assured him as they approached the US Government classroom. "Just a lot of memorization."<br/><br/>"Presidents first, of course," He said once they arrived, opening the door and giving a small bow.<br/><br/>"Oh, a gentleman! Thank you," she said with a small laugh, walking through the opened door. She took her seat near the front of the class, and he sat next to her. Most of that last row was usually empty, so she figured it would be fine for him to sit there. The room they'd entered was neat and very decorated. Above the chalkboard were pictures of all forty-four past presidents, stretching from one end of the wall to the other. Posters with diagrams of the different branches of government were hung throughout the room, as well as the odd picture of a timber wolf, the school's mascot, framed in blue and gray, the school's colors.<br/><br/>After they'd sat down, it became clear that Leon was the talk of this class as well. Girls, especially, continuously looked his way, whispered amongst themselves, and giggled. Charlotte couldn't blame them, of course, and might have been participating if she wasn't sitting with him. Instead, she turned to him and was about to start explaining the class whenever the ball rang and a pretty, brown-skinned woman in her late twenties approached the board from a desk at the back of the room.<br/><br/>"Good morning, my darlings! As I'm sure most of you know by now, today you have a new classmate! Leon, I'm Ms. Fletcher. Why don't you come up here and tell us about yourself?" She asked, stepping off to the side and motioning to the space beside her. After his introduction was done, the young teacher smiled at him. "Well, welcome to our school, Leon. I hope that your stay here is enjoyable and enlightening. I know that adjusting to a new school may be difficult, but we'll do our best to get you caught up in here, okay?"<br/><br/>Her attention turned to the rest of the class. "Now, today we're going to be covering the powers of the Executive office in the US! Those of you who paid attention during our unit on the Constitution know that the president's powers are covered in article two, section two. The founding fathers wrote that..."  She launched into a lesson that Charlotte had already read about in the textbook, and taken notes over, the night before. Still, she took the opportunity to highlight and underline what points the teacher emphasized.<br/><br/>Several times during the lecture her thoughts began to drift towards the boy sitting next to her. He was nice and cute, and seemed like he'd make a pretty cool friend to hang around with, if nothing else. She found herself looking forward to their lunch period, now just two periods away. The fifty-five minutes they spent in that class passed quickly. As the bell rang, Ms. Fletcher announced, eliciting a chorus of groans, a short reading assignment that they were expected to have done by class the next day.<br/><br/>"That wasn't too painful, was it? This is one of my better subjects, so if you need any help, you can ask me or I can give you my notes to look at. She also does tutorials after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. They're pretty helpful. I have AP statistics next, and science after that. I think that your classes are switched, though I'm pretty sure that you're in calculus instead of stat. After that, lunch! If we hurry, I can point both of your next classes out to you in the hall."
