Mr. Peidmont returned from his summer adventures with many tales to share with his Environmental Science class. One of his students was kind enough to bring him an apple on the first day of class, in which he took a nap at lunch.
Cecil was quite nervous about his first day of school, but had been assured that freshman hazing was not as bad as he feared. Besides, being stuffed in a locker would be just like wearing another shell.
Hideki's mother told him that it was time to get a job. It was no longer appropriate for him to hang out by his old high school when classes let out, buying cigarettes for minors and using his psychic powers to read minds.
Mr. Abuh would take no guff from his students this year. Each day he looked at himself in the mirror and recited the reasons why he should be respected. Most days he believed it.
Now that this whole "Auntie Clerq" business was done, Mr. Puddleman believed it was high time for everyone to focus on the new school year. There would be no sympathy for his students this year. No mercy. They would have to develop spines for this sort of abuse, lest they end up like Puddleman himself.
