" HERE'S THE DEAL! THERE IS NOTHING MORE THAN OUR LIVES, SO WHY BOTHER?" Carter's booming voice echoed throughout the room. "Why don't we think like that? We should, right?" He laughed, waiting for their constant response, "But we do believe in something else" He sat, listening, slowly waiting, then walked to the board when no one responded, and wrote in huge block letters, 'NIHILISM, the current existentialism.'

Kouga had entered the Fourth Floor wing on timid feet. He'd heard that the wing had been closed for refurbishments, but apparently only a few of the rooms were off limits. His philosophy class, on the other hand, was held indoors and as he entered the room, he was bummed to find an old man talking. Too bad Ms. G doesn't teach philosophy. Wouldn't mind staring at her all day. Shifting his eyes back and forth he hunkered down close to the floor.
Nearly crawling, Kouga made his way to the nearest available seat and slowly, although rather indiscreetly, climbed into it. Still hunched over he allowed one of his wide, charmingly bright grins grace his face in accomplishment. Get into class late, without getting caught: Check. Quite proud of himself, he dropped his book bag lightly to the ground, glanced up at the board and dropped his lower jaw.
"Uhm, Teach?" He raised his hand, speaking loudly across the classroom. "What the heck is Nee-hill-i-sum? And exi-what!?" So clearly, he wasn't the brightest kid in the room, nor was he fully awake yet, but, he figured they were good questions.
In the back, a young blond chuckled lightly to herself, rolling her storm gray eyes as she waited for the teacher's reaction. Cael's notebook was open, blank page before her, and her mind eager to learn before her shift in the library. First day of class, and already kids are turning up late. Blasphemy.

Carter wrote one more thing on the board, then, without turning, as Kouga entered the room, he made a note of the door closing. "Kouga, perhaps if you would have shown up 5 minutes ago, you would understand. I will explain it again, for you, because I'm just that nice." Carter turned, chuckling, and closed the textbook open on his desk. "Nihilism is the belief that there is nothing greater than ourselves, so why should we try to better ourselves. It seems strange that someone who appears to follow this philosophy should not know about it. You may know of it as Existentialism, or maybe Stoicism. Either way, You really should know it." He gazed up at Kouga with an icy glare, "Don't be late tomorrow." Carter chuckled, and went back to writing on the board, then slammed his fist down on the table and smiled, watching them shake awake.

Drat! I've been caught. Cheese it boys!
[/i] " Erm, uh... Yeah, I was, uhm... Cleaning?" Kouga's cheeks darkened in embarrassment, while he sunk deeper into his seat. " My bad..." He mumbled, reaching down into his backpack to pull out his notebook and his pen. Situating himself he flipped to an empty page, leaned over and wrote: Nihilism. The basic concept by which I run my life. To be a Nihilist, you would have to be a Kouga.
... I like the sound of that. [/font] After a moment of small though, Kouga began to doodle a wolf in the corner of his page, one howling up at a moon that was anything but round. Behind him Cael giggled to herself. Sometimes being able to hear want someone else was thinking was a bit overwhelming, but she found Kouga's mind to be, well, fun. Turning her head back to the teacher she let her stormy eyes read over the board, and then, timidly, she raised her hand. " Nihilism was the philosophy that Friedrich Nietzsche followed, right?" [/blockquote][/font] |

" Well, It's nice to know we have at least one bright mind in this class. You are currently my favorite student, Cael. Perhaps, you will make this class worth teaching. Ok, number one, what was the first form of Nihilism that was represented in ancient Greece? Stoicism or Epicureanism. Your rank depends on your answer." Carter was having fun, It was nice to have a bright spot in his dark cloud of life. "Kouga, you could learn a thing or two from our friend Cael here. She seems to know about the subject" Carter teased, smiling.

Kouga blinked, glancing up from his half finished doodle to look at the teacher, after a moment he looked over his shoulder to the girl sitting behind him, cocking his head to the side as he checked her out. Blond, pretty, smart, we should definitely be study buddies.
[/i] He smiled at her, offering up one of his large wide smiles, and added in a little wink to go with it. She simply glared in his general direction, wishing she could flip him off, but, she didn't want the teacher to mad at her. Ick. He's like a bug I wanna squish.[/i] Sometimes, she hated being able to hear other peoples thoughts. Shaking her head and refusing to shiver in plan disgust, she turned her attention back to the front of the class and the teacher. " Erm... I believe, it... Was... Uh, Stoicism?" Cael smiled sheepishly along with her shrug, she was going off of what she some-what remembered from her last Philosophy class... And she believed she had the right answer. But, sometimes her guessing was way off. [/blockquote][/font] |

"Correct, now, we have a choice, we can take notes like blind followers, or discuss Nihilism, with me answering your questions" Carter paced the area, and slipped. Without a moment's pause, he reversed his inertia, and stood up, smiling. "So, it's your choice, but we all know what you will be choosing. So... Any questions, lazy bums?" Carter's voice was tainted with disdain, and he was itching for a little argument, he would be as snide as possible until he got it.
"So, come on, don't be shy, ask a question, it's not like it matters for anything anyway. Or does it? That is for you to decide, whether you are a Nihilist or not."

"Oooo! Ooooo!" Kouga practically jumped in his seat, waving his hand frantically before simply speaking. "You know, Teach! There is this band, Dethklok, which is super amazing by the way. I mean. It's, just, AWESOME! I mean, you can't understand their lyrics sometimes, cause, like, the main dude, Nathan, tends to scream into the mic and it sort of drowns out the rest of whatever's going on, not to mention Toki and Skwisgaar play hecka loud! But, you know, they are a metal band so I gue-"
"Is there a point to this rant, or are you just going to ramble on until the class is over?" Cael rolled her eyes as the boy continued to speed through his rant, her blond hair slipping out of the tie and falling in front of her eyes. She blew upwards, sending the stray strands in opposite directions but only accomplishing in a few seconds of reprieve.
"Achum! Yes, I do. Blondy." Kouga glanced back at her and growled. "Anyways, as I was saying before being rudely interrupted, Murderface is a Nihilist. And I think it's awesome that a famous person is just like me." Kouga let a smug smile grow on his lips. Behind him, Cael blinked before busting out into a stream of laughter. "Th-That was your point? S-Seriously?" She couldn't stop her laughter, her arm lowering to press against her stomach. "Jumalani, olet idiootti."

"Listen, metal-punk. I don't care about your death clock crap or anything like that, unless you have a point, then shut up. Your ranking in my mind and in the class just fell about twenty more points, number 100. Now then, does anyone else have a real question, for a real response?" Carter was not about to let some punk ruin his class. He stopped, looking around at the students, and glared at Kouga. "Don't mess with my class, boy!" Carter made it obvious that he didn't like the kid and threw a ball from his desk, on a beeline for his head.

Cael snickered from her seat, trying to stay as quiet as possible, but of course, she let it get a tad out of hand and ended up almost falling from her seat. "O-Okay... While we are on the subject of famous people," She took in a deep breath to keep herself from passing out, smiling Cael directed her attention to the teacher. "What famous people, now-a-days, are Nihilists?" She'd already filled up a couple pages of notes, some a bit off topic, but she was curious to know whom out there made the choice of being a Nihilist.
Kouga on the other hand grumbled and sunk down into his seat again, flushed with embarrassment as he picked up his pen and wrote down a note or two. "Murderface is..." Kouga grumbled to himself, writing down:
BLONDS ARE EVIIIIIIIIL!!!!
on his paper while waiting for the teacher's reply. In the back of the classroom another student rolled his eyes and decided to stare blankly out the window as the class continued. He didn't care much about anything that was going on, and found the two bickering students to be more of a nuisance then anything else.
Then, a yelp broke him from his fixated trance with the window, and Jasper turned to see the annoying boy, Kouga, fall out of his desk holding his head, while a rather guilty looking ball bounced around beside him. The annoying blond on the other side of Kouga was once again, laughing her butt off.

Carter chuckled, smiling. "I'm glad you asked Cael, or should I say, #1? Jerry Seinfeld is a nihilist, and aside from murderneck, or whatever his name is, there are very few." Carter liked this kid, and he did like Dethclok, but not when he was teaching. He would have to pay careful attention to these kids, and wait for the others to wake up. Or did he? Carter very quickly launched a ball at one kid's head, and made it ricochet around the room, and most of the other students. "This is philosophy, not sleep class. Get your asses in gear! UP, UP! HWA!!!!!" Carter walked over to one kid who was sleeping and quietly leaned over. "WAKE THE FAWK UP! DON"T FREAKING SLEEP IN MY CLASS!" Carter was pissed, and his eyes were bloodshot, popping out of his head."Ok, that's all the time we have for today, so good day, you ingrateful little bastards" Carter was pissed, and he didn't care who knew it.
