Shadow's head fell out of his hands as he quickly snapped awake before it hit the desk, "Sooo bored. Why is she explaining the Doppler effect? I learned this stuff in first grade. Don't they teach you how to make robots that throw ping-pong balls or fire lasers or something?"
"Would you like to explain this to the class or may I continue, Mr. Dowley?"
Shadow jumped out of his seat, "I'd love to explain." he ran to the board before she had the slightest chance to protest. He grabbed a piece of chalk and began writing, "The pitch of sound you hear as, oh say, a car speeds by depends on whether the car is moving toward or away from you. as the car approaches, the sound waves ahead of it are bunched up. These produce a higher frequency, when the car is leaving the waves are stretched and produce a lower frequency. Which is what makes the diffrent noises." He placed the chalk down and enjoyed the teacher's dumbfounded expression, "I'll go sit down now." He returned to his chair smileing cockily.
"You don't get along with teachers well do you?" Yolei said laughing as the teacher tried to figure out Shadow's writing, which he had done in english without even paying attention.
"One of the only enjoyable things to do at school."
