It was strange all of the older students looked run down he sat in his spot tapping the brim of his hat to make it pop up slightly so he could see in front of him better. He tilted his head to the side watching the door and the clock for the teacher to come in. it was getting latter and later and for some reason the teacher wasn’t coming in, it was strange his teacher had been late a few times but there was always a reason and never this late. He started to get up to head to the office and ask what was going on than the disciplinary head walked through the door holding a stack of paper and the teacher’s books. She looked worried and far too young to be head of keeping the students in line but she was what she was and Sage couldn’t question it.
‘All the teachers seem to have come down with something today’ the girls meek voice came over the dull roar of the rooms chit chat, ‘I have taken it upon myself to go from class to class and issue some work, at least until I can contact someone from the board of directors or someone to find out what’s going on and get some substitutes in the classes’ the girl looked scared out of her mind, like something had just jumped out of the wall ripped her dress open and pulled her still beating heart from her chest just to show it to her and put it back. ‘When you are finished with the assignment please gather in the auditorium, hopefully by that time I’ll have gotten some information and will address the school apriority.’
The girl handed out a rather basic worksheet that they had done a few weeks back and left the room, it was strange all the teachers cars where in the parking lot yet she said they were all sick. As soon as the girl left Sage could hear her telling the same speech to the next class over. That is when the students in his own class where talking about how that girl shouldn’t have the right to do such a thing as this and they thought they should just leave now. Looking out of the window he could see some students already made that choice and where walking home. Something was going on and he didn’t know what, that alone was bothering him.
