Peter Hale as a school teacher. What a laugh. A man with virtually no
tolerance for stupidity chose the worst possible occupation imaginable.
His job consisted of being surrounded by idiots, and worse, it was his job
to try and teach them not to be idiots. Essentially, he'd need to work miracles.
Why was he there, then? Surely, an ulterior motive had brough him to
accept the position of English Literature teacher at Beacon High. Though,
whatever his agenda was, it would not be revealed until the timing was
just p e r f e c t, as everything else he did: precise; calculated; carefully planned.
The new teacher enters the room with no intent of letting a friendly facade spread
across his features, nor of bothering to give his students a second look. A firm,
commanding voice echoes through the room and dominates it, perhaps the teens
were quiet out of curiosity rather than respect, but quiet nonetheless.
"Let us just skip the long introductions
and f o o l i s h ice-breakers. I have little
interest in learning all of your names, if any
at all."
Sure steps only come to a stop when he stands in front of his desk, leaning over it
and finally scanning through the faces of his class. One in particular had caught his
interest, though he does not glance at her twice; though a smirk does appear upon
his lips. Silence hangs in the air. Amused, Peter looks at the puzzled young people
before him, and they stare back.
"Good. Now that we're settled, pick up your copies of
The Great Gatsby. I trust you have done your Summer
reading, yes? Let us have ourselves a little discussion."
Cerulean hues travel through the room, landing at one Ms. Lydia Martin.
The malice on his smirk only seems to grow as his gaze locks on hers,
though it is only perceptible for a split second, before he breaks into a
more respectable countenance.
"––– ––– Ms. Strawberry Blonde, start us off."
