((Elton was being sarcastic and pointing out that he and the other offworlders, despite their relatively young ages, still knew vastly more than any normal human adolescent, or for that matter any normal human period. He didn't literally mean that he was the teacher. Apologies if I gave the wrong impression.))
Elton looked over the enthusiastic Earthsider. Pathetic, really. "Not really. Just one of the seven smartest humanoids in the room, along with the other six or so Spacers. Don't mind me, I'm just here to observe. I got all the necessary credits for basic schooling centuries ago, all I need now is a few cultural observations so I can fit in better."
There were mostly strange looks at Elton's words, a few bits of open derision, and one or two curious or qualitative looks, as if the observers were sizing him up. One of the curious ones was a rather short Earthsider, female and probably about midway through adolescence. An interesting one to observe, to be sure. Possibly he could ask her what Earthsiders wore other than tailored suits, though he'd have to get anything else likewise tailored. He'd tried to put it off, but he was just too large of frame to fit into any size of normal clothing.
((EDIT: Didn't realize how late it is. Bedtime for me. Gotta get to work early tomorrow. >.<))

((K thanks, tho' the point of mentioning superluminescing (faster-than-light travel) was so that the the teacher would almost certainly have no idea about the subject. ^^))
'Elton' looked down at the female Earthsider for a moment and nodded, giving his full name to her and then the Earthsider translation. "Soo'tinaaa-Deidr at your service. Earthsiders and those without olfactory communication can call me Elton. Perhaps we might meet up after class at some suitably public location and exchange information? I believe the Earthsider term is 'date.' I live across the street above the Localization Services building if you wish to visit, and will be leaving at lunch should you wish to give me an answer before then as to the mutual meeting-up. And now, I believe I will be late for my next observational education period."
Thus speaking, 'Elton' ducked (and ducked, and ducked...) through the door and walked down the hall a short ways to his next class, where he saw a localized wormhole closing in the back and either an android or a near-human partier sitting down in the back. Interesting.
And this classroom had got the memo about his height, and actually procured an 'overlarge' desk for him. "Finally, something goes right."
He walked over and sat down, directly behind the android-slash-partier and observed the teacher's behavior.

Englith hadn't exactly liked her first classroom. Lots of Earthies, lots of outer worlders, but no one she was even relatively related to galaxy wise. She guessed a lot of gas planets wouldn't have the ability to travel through space, as most were still going through their first cycle and were still primitive, but she was primed and proper and dammit she wanted someone to talk to! She placed her books onto a desk as she entered her next classroom. A few humans, yes, stragglers coming in slowly so that they could stare. In the back a rather large boy, definitely an Asata, if she had her planets in order, and in front of him... Oh, what a wonderful design... The tech geek in her went mad looking at the boy, so obviously an android to her, in the back. She felt her hair-like feelers shuffle themselves as she chose a place to sit, unconsciously gravitating toward the two in the back, and as she finally sat down she took a moment to organize the pencil case she'd designed herself. The metal was from her planet, a mineral unfamiliar to earth, and it looked rather like iodized Copper. She enjoyed having that, it kept her from feeling homesick.
