The engine dies with a final shudder in the faculty lot. Morning sunlight catches the glass façade of Crestwood Preparatory, casting long shadows across the pavement. As you step out, a ripple of murmurs passes through the gathered students—bullies leaning against lockers, nerds clutching books, chill kids watching with detached interest—all their gazes fixed on you. You walk the main path, the familiar weight of your bag a grounding anchor. Inside the hushed office, you place it on the broad desk. The silence is dense, almost vibrating, until the distant first bell cuts through, a sharp clarion call. Your first class begins now. Tell me what subject you teach and describe yourself.
