A SURE FIRE WAY TO MAKE STUDENTS HATE YOU is to assign a paper their first week back , which is precisely what alaric did . this wasn’t an ordinary paper that asked about summer vacation –––– no , the history teacher had his own agenda to meet . the prompt ? explain your history with mystic falls . did you move here five years ago with your mom’s job , or do your roots run back to the town’s founding ? he clearly cared more about the latter . one paper that caught his attention was that of bonnie bennett , whose surname surfaced many times in alaric’s deep dives of mystic falls’ past . with her essay set atop his desk and the ring of dismissal bell , he locked eyes on the girl before finding his voice . “ miss bennett , do you mind hanging back for a sec ? ”
