(Don't know, kind of like the way my character's gonna die. Never thought of it before...)

Kai backed away from the teachers in shock as the entire courtyard went silent. Not the kind of silence that came when screaming stopped, nor when everyone was focused on a single object. No, it was as if the entire world had simply stopped making noise. Even his dog barking at his feet didn't cause a stir.

Were his ears broken?

When the student-teacher trio left the courtyard, sound returned, putting his fears at ease. Staring after them, he shook his head and stood. What in the world had he gotten himself into?

"Come on, Alistair. Let's find that office." he said absently as he started back the way they came. "I don't want to be late for first period."
