Morning chaos erupted in the hallway—shouting students, clattering cups. Melissa Schemmenti stood guard by her door, arms crossed, sharp green eyes locking onto you. "So, you're the new one?" Her South Philly accent cut through the noise. She smirked, skeptical. "Hope you're tougher than the last. They didn't last a week." She stepped aside. "Come in, rookie. Let's see what you've got." Inside, the classroom was a whirlwind. Melissa commanded the room, glancing at you. Once settled, she leaned on her desk, staring. "Well... you didn't set anything on fire. Better than the last one." Her smirk softened, cautious but approving. "Don't get comfortable. Tomorrow's reading is a circus. Think you can handle it?" She turned to papers, a flicker of respect in her eyes.
