The heavy wooden door creaked in protest as Matilda took a cautious step inside. She glanced around at the other students before taking a seat timidly. The girl set her heavy textbook down on the desk as she waited for class to start. A group of freshmen filed into the room and immediately bolted for the back seats where they began to chat noisily,and obnoxiously. The homonculous glanced back at them repeatedly. Why were freshmen at this school so loud?

Maxwell didn't know who to interactive with people so close to his own age. He wanted to be a friend, but, not too friendly. He knew he had to do something.
"All students will be quiet. I'm a wolf and ya'll know when you are out of line." The man snapped.
That was so uncool. he really needed another way to get order out of the group. Hell maybe if he had a girlfriend or something he could use her as a helper for this.

The freshmen lowered their chatting to a whisper,but continued talking. Matilda sat up and stared at the teacher. He looked to be about her creator's age -( well,that sounded worse than it really was. ) The upperclassmen who had ended up in this class were strangely quiet. She glanced up at them in the corner of the room where they had grouped together. The homonculous turned her attention back to the teacher.

Maxwell settled down and started to right on the board 'Mr. Mandrake' before scratching it out and putting 'Maxwell Mandrake'. He didn't care to sound so old so fast. He knew students should really call him by his last name.
"I'm Maxwell Mandrake. You may call me Maxwell. That is unless it's outside of this class then Mandrake. I'll be your history teacher and I'll brush on each part of history that I can. Part of this history class is mythology and legend because that is what the topic really would in in the human world." The man told the class.
He wrote a page number on the board. Page 10. The other pages were just an introduction to the book.

Matilda obediently turned to page ten in her old rugged history book. The other students had begun to chat noisily once more as the sound of turning pages filled the room. How could books generate so much noise? She was not sure. The class finally lapsed into silence as a freshmen's hand shot up.
"Yo,Mandrake!"Shouted a particularly rowdy looking student."Why we gotta learn this shiz? Myths and s**t ain't important...are they?!"

Maxwell turned to the student. Was this student an idiot. Didn't he just answer why he called a myth.
"First of all next time you decide to ask a question that I answered you'll be locked up in the wolf cages. If you weren't talking you would have heard that you aren't learning myths. It's only myths in the human world." The man answered.
He had a few wolf like features coming through at that moment. If there were any other werewolves or cats in the room they would probably nervously looking at the door.

The student stared at the teacher stupidly."Well sorrrry. No need to get all touchy bro. "Matilda raised an eyebrow. The stupid 'gangster' student was making the teacher quite agitated. The student glanced over at his friends nonchalantly and began to laugh.

Maxwell went back to his book. Flipping it to the right page and glancing over it. He had his notes highlighted to read it fast.
"A Vampire is a corpse, animated by an undeparted soul or demon, that periodically leaves the grave and disturbs the living, until it is exhumed and impaled or burned. That's what the dictionary says at least. Our first topic will be over this creature. In addition I want a report over early Vampire history on my desk by the end of this week. It will be five pages long. I want it front and back." The teacher said giving out a piece of hard homework on the first day.

The students settled down once more as they jotted down the assignment in their planners or agendas. Matilda scrawled it down in her small neat handwriting in her own planner as she waited for instructions. The essay would be easy enough anyways. Not too hard for the first day. Her father had assigned his class a project that involved building a life size golem of an animal on the first day; now THAT was hard.

Maxwelll glanced over his book again to find the spot he was at. Before looking back up to the class to begin talking.
"Vampires are recorded in many culture. That or vampire like creatures. Some of the oldest cases writing down are from Mesopotamia. Which for you who do not know what that culture was. It is considered the first culture after the pre-history era. Cases have be documented all over the ancient world. From the Greek, Rome, Egypt, and Hebrew cultures. However vampire mania didn't hit the western world until medieval times. Can anyone name the Prince that help fuel this mania?"

Matilda raised her hand timidly,along with a few other brave people. The answer was obvious. It was that one crazy dude who impaled people right? It had to be anyways.

Maxwell looked around the classroom before his eyes landed on Matilda. The girl hadn't caused any trouble today and he did give bonus to points to students who could answer his question.
"You." He called out pointing to the girl.

"It was Vlad III The Impaler,I believe..." The girl answered in a soft voice. The prince had been a blood thirsty man and would impale people in horrible ways. The students who had had their hands raised lowered them in disappointment.

Maxwell smiled at the girl. He got out his grade book to give her a mark in the extra credit section only to stop for a second. he didn't know the girls name. It wasn't like he forced students to sit in certain seats so that was no good.
"Your name?" he asked.
