The woman pushed passed Angelo and stood at the front of the class. “I’m your teacher, Miss Gray. You can call me, Pandora. I don’t much care for formalities. Truth is, I haven’t been called Miss Gray in years. Now let’s see. You, Ellery right? I don’t much care for smart mouths in my classroom.”
The room grew silent. This was the one who was her mother’s aunt, Zinnia realized. Pandora Gray. She studied under a man who knew almost as much about time travel as Emit Relevart, the time keeper himself. She meant serious business.
Pandora approached Ellery’s desk. “Mr. Williams doesn’t know as much as I do. In fact, he knows nothing about time travel at all, so direct your most difficult questions to me.” Angeo shrunk back under her harsh gaze. “Two, I don’t care how much you think you may know. This goes for your sister too in the back, I am the teacher. If you feel like I don’t have valuable information to teach then please come up here and save me some effort. I’ll still get paid regardless and it’s less work for me.”
Zinnia heard Sonny gasp. The girl covered her mouth. Zinnia felt the same way. Woah, Pandora was not one to mess with. But Ellery wasn’t the type to get flustered. He stood up and approached the front of the classroom much to his sister’s dismay. “What do you want to know about time travel. Any questions?”
Drew’s hand shot up and Zinnia shrunk down in her seat. This wasn’t going to be good. “Is it true that by just touching in the past you could change the future?”
Ellery approached the board and began writing things down. “Well, you see. There’s this thing called a continuum…”
