I went to school with Aaron. I can see why he hates it. All you do is sit in a boring chair all day and listen to an adult drone on and on about how Pi is soooo amazing. Also the fact that when ever I would raise my own hand (dumb rule) to correct him, he would starkly declare me wrong. Yeah right. I've been watching history unfold since I was born. Master's Granddaughter of course. And who was I going to believe; an idiot with no crystal ball at home to watch the past, present, and future, or a genius teen that does. No contest. Aaron would often sigh and flop his head on his desk, obscuring his hand to the teacher. Not that he notices anyway. He'll slip me a note, encoded in Latin, or what ever and I'd write back. And we have a fall-back plan if we get caught: Read the note non-translated. I love that we created our own code for English. One appeared under my nose. 'Nawhe's chalun?' 'When's Lunch?' It reminded me all too well of my own starved stomach. 'Tano rafo sahour.' I wrote back. Sent it on it's way.
"An so, that is how Tau is wrong." My attention snapped to the teacher. I raised my hand. He groaned. "Penelope."
"Tau is correct because it is 2 Pi and we must multiply Pi by two to create the circle constant." I said smoothly.
He fussed with some calculations. "But you can't multiply Pi by two. It never ends."
"Anything is possible in a world of numbers. You said that yourself. 2 Pi is Tau." I knew that for a fact.
And with that, the bell rang.
The class stormed out of the classroom for lunch. "Nice one Penn!" Aaron said. "Great job confusing the teacher with the truth!" We laughed. Sometimes, even we were the best of friends. Especially when we were partners in crime. "Hey, you set off that stink bomb yet?" I whispered. "Should go off in 3...2...1-" A giant explosion shook the school from the Teacher's Lounge. "You little-" I laughed in shock. He does learn stuff from me after all. I pushed an invisibility charm into his hand. "You're gonna need it." I motioned to the rapidly approaching principal and we ran like hell.

I'm sure many people found this chapter funny and interesting. I thought people would be interested to see Penn and Aaron in a school situation. Don't forget to comment!
