Chapter 5: The Way To Learn
Peyton POV
I was excited. I had an idea and it will help a lot for Edge. I went to my computer for a way for Edge to get into school. She seem oddly amazed at how different colors of websites popped up.
"Hey," I said multi tasking," Do you know what a computer is?" She shook her head while still being amazed. "This is a computer. It can do many things for the human world like communicate, play, discover, learn, and more." I said with life. She more excited than before.
I kept typing and fill a document for my college for Edge to be in. I just remember that she never been to high school, so how is she going to get in?
I got it! She could be a homeschooler. My school always want more of them. I fill out the document. It had send to my principal with a sign of a mail with a green arrow. I rolled my chair around with a big grin on my face and put my hands behind my head and close my eyes.
Edge POV
I was confuse what she is confident about. I she sat there grinning, so it seem she is happy.
"Oh! My bad Edge," Peyton said as she opened her eyes and stood up. " I just found a way for you to learn more!" she said with pure excitement.
"How? " I asked.
" You were the goddess of knowledge right?" She asked. I nodded feeling dumb now not knowing anything. "Well, I put you in a school and said that you were homeschooled, so high school isn't a problem," she said smiling. I didn't understand a word she said because of her speaking so fast. But I did understand some things.
"Um... Peyton?" asked quietly.
"Yeah," she said with a smile.
"I was homeschooled. Back at my home since of me learning to fast than others I was taught everything by myself," I said. She made her mouth like an O and smiled and made sparkled in her eyes.
"That's even better!" she said happily. I smiled, too, knowing that she is. "But first, you need to learn the basics," she said. I nodded knowing that those basics will help me learn.
She first told me to pick out my classes. She said I had 7 periods and I had to choose 2. I chose art and a class that teaches you different languages. She then told me how to work the three main rectangles of moving colors. The first one was a small on and is called a phone. She said it use to call, play, text, and search. She then showed me the rectangles with the many buttons. She said it was a computer and is better to search and do computer homework the teachers may give. The bigger rectangle was the TV. She said it is for entertainment and I believe no less.
"Do you know math or anything much about our world?" she asked.
"Yes I know language arts and writing mostly. Math has many ways and problems to solve many things in the world like measuring, work, more importing things. But to sum it up, I know every math problem that excited and every word needed for a great writing," I said.
"Great and incredible," she said," Then you just want to learn more about the world then, specifically."
"Yes like your history. I like history, too, and read every book about how many generations watch over the earth and protected it," I said remembering every name that I read.
"You seem to have a lot of fun," she said will a smile with a little sadness in her eyes. It change when she looked back at what she was doing. "Oh, now we need you to get some cloths and ready for school," she said. She then remembered something and tap a key on the computer. It lid up to her colorful back round and she looked at the numbers. I remembered when my uncle, The god of Time and Space, told me about how he made time match up perfectly to earth rotation, the sun, and planets. It said 12:00pm on her computer. " Wow, it is late," she said very surprise," Well let's call it a night," she said.
We both walked upstairs as she close the lights behind us. We walked towards our room as I remember to tell her something.
"Oh, Wait Peyton!" I shouted a little before she close her door.
"Yeah?" she asked.
"We, gods, don't sleep," I said as her eyes widened.
"Really, but when you crash you were sleeping," she stated.
"Yeah, but that is how we heal. Gods work day and night, so sleeping is no need," I said. She looked surprise.
"Well the that will you do during the nigh? I need the sleep that's why," she said.
"Don't worry. I'm the goddess of mostly everything, I have my duties," I said. She nodded and smiled. She closed her door and the light. I sat on my bed with the light on receiving work that needed to be finished.
The next day Peyton received a form saying that I am in the program and will the starting on a Monday, 7 days from now. She then kept teaching until then. I was able to know what most stuff was or how to figure what they are. I was then taught how to write English. Back home we wrote Roman/Latin.
During the last day, I felt on track.
"Okay, now we just need you to take you to get supplies," Peyton said.
"Supplies? Where?" I asked.
"The mall, of course. Come on, I'll show you," she said about the walked through the door and stopped to look at me.
"Is there something wrong?" I asked.
"Yes. We need to cover your eye," she said.
"Huh? Why?" I asked remembering that this eye has a scar and has the symbol of the gods.
"That symbol. I read it before and if people see it they may question you and your cover is blown," she said. I started to think of the possibilities of that happening.
"Right," I said. She ran over to her box to find an eyepatch. It looked handmade but not bad.
"Here put this on," she said. I put it on and thought how it looked. I thought it lookd fine, but Peyton is just too amazed. "Aww! Now I and jealous," she said," K, let's go get you ready for school." she said as we walked there.
When we arrived, we walked in. I was dazzled by how bright it was and all it's people that full of it.
"Hey where did you get this?" I asked pointing at the eyepatch.
"I made for Halloween for a pirate costume, but it looks good on you," Peyton said. I giggled and walked with her to a place called Target. We walked in and it was full of stuff I didn't know about. Peyton giggle at my excited and amazed face. She took my arm and walked by the area full of backpacks, pencils, notebook, and mostly everything need for school.
After we got that we went by the cloths. She help me pick out some that I like and made sure it fit me. She grabbed a jean and put the waist line around my neck. It just touch and fit perfectly. The favorite one I like is the red tank top with a greenish pants with more pockets than 2 and a red and white checker piece of cloth use as a belt.
"Great. Now let's pay," she said. We went to the cashier and pay for the supplies. Well, Peyton did. We then went home and laid the supplies on the bed, ready for tomorrow's day. I never been in a school before, so I had many mixed feelings about it.
" Well that's the last of it," Peyton said as she sat by me on my bed. "What was the black cloud flowing you? Sorry , but I forgot to asked this?" she said. I froze remembering her, Thana the goddess of Death, that almost killed. I sat there have no words to say. "Hey. You ok," she asked me. I nodded.
"It was the goddess of death," I said in a very quiet voice, but enough for her to hear," She was last told by her evil parents that they were killed by me. I didn't know anything myself that they were dying. All I knew was that Thana, the goddess of Death, parents were the ones who send the dogs to slaughter my family. Then I found out that they use all their power for that attack, Thana will be there to complete their mission. She won't believe me , when I say she is being manipulated," I said. We then sat in silence as she went through all the things that were said. It was just like when I told my story, where the silence was too much to bear.
"Hey. It's alright," Peyton said with smile," she didn't know and neither did you, so we'll figure it out together." I was happy. She pulled me in for a hug which felt warm.
She then went off to bed as I kept working. I learn ,a long time ago, that learning from people you know are better than learning things ,that have already been discover, by yourself. It felt the Way to learn.
