Headmaster Croisseux

The tall jet black haired male stood in the middle of the Auditorium, in front of a wooden podium, which had a microphone on it. He tapped the microphone to make sure it was on. "Eh-hem...A beautiful morning to all!

Let us start first by saying; Hello my name is Léon Croisseux, the Headmaster of this fine Boarding Academy. This will be my fifth year as Headmaster.

Good, now that I have introduced myself, I hope those of you who are naturally shy will boost your confidence, and give you a feeling of belonging, of being a family.
If we come to school every day and shake hands with our classmates, teachers, our guard, schoolmates we will have made a pleasant start of our day in school. I encourage the teachers and everybody to do the same. A simple good morning, a smile, a little hello does not cost anything but gains a lot. We are all beautiful when we smile.

Welcome to the Masuta Academy. We are happy that you have chosen us in your quest for formative or basic education. Your parents know how important education is and that is why you are here, to learn, to experience, to equip you with knowledge and prepare your future, your destiny.

You and Masuta Academy are now partners. It is a mutual relationship and we as the new Administrators of Masuta Academy will try to meet our obligations and we expect the same from you students. Our success is our working together to achieve this goal. WE MUST NOT FAIL!

Let me also take this opportunity to remind you to stay safe and healthy. I strongly recommend that you take preventive measures i.e. washing your hands thoroughly, if you sneeze use the side of your elbows and not in your hands, and if you are sick please stay in your dorm, maybe call the school’s nurse to check on you, and recuperate as it may infect your classmates, too. We will also continue to introduce your morning exercises to keep you fit physically and mentally.

Another reminder is about SECURITY. Please be wary and avoid going with strangers. Period! Lately there have been incidents of kidnappings, and also cases of children being taken away and their kidneys, and other organs are removed. These are scary and dangerous times indeed. If you are in a situation, the best thing is to run away, make loud noises, and attract attention to discourage would be kidnapper or attacker.

To everyone, welcome to Masuta Academy. This day promises a good beginning in our lives and I pray that the Divine Providence be with us this school year." Léon greeted everyone present, as he read his welcoming speech. He flipped through the paper, then stopped at a light blue page.

"Now without further ado, The matter at hand is finding yourself a maid or butler if you are a master or mistress, and vice versa. You have until the end of the day to find yourself a partner. If you don't, please report to me in my office and I will take care of the situation." Léon told the students, fixing the papers by tapping them against the podium.

"Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be heading back to my office. You all may leave. Please explore the campus, find your dorm, and don't forget to find yourself a partner as well. Classes will start up tomorrow. In the acceptance letter you all received, you should have your class schedule and your dorm room number. Male dormitories are in the West wing. Female dormitories are in the East wing." When he was finished talking, Léon took his papers, and exited the Auditorium.

Katherine

Katherine knew the male looked familiar! Léon Croisseux...Ugh, that name gave her chills. That man once tried to steal her father's AND mother's company away from them. He tried for many years and he even threatened her to convince her father to sell his company. I can't believe he's going to be my Headmaster... She thought, as she just glared at the Headmaster.

Kat absolutely did not like knowing that Léon Croisseux will be her Headmaster for the next 3 years. "What joy..." She softly spoke out loud, rolling her eyes. She barley even payed any attention to what he was saying, rather she was just staring down at her backpack, daydreaming.

She wasn't one to dislike people, but Léon was one of the very few that she did't enjoy knowing was around. After Léon left the Auditorium, Katherine lifted her head up, and looked around. "Oh look, he's gone..." She stood up, grabbing her backpack, and flung it over her right shoulder.

Kat walked down from the bleachers, onto the Auditorium floor. She stood there for a few seconds, seeing other students take out their letters, so she did the same. "Hmm, since I already know where my dorm is...I guess I'll just explore the campus then." She told herself, placing the letter back into her backpack.
