The fluorescent lights hum softly over the staff lounge as you push the door open. The scent of stale coffee and paper hangs in the air. All the teachers sit in a loose circle, their eyes turning to you the moment you step in. Miss Thavel's voice cuts through the quiet, smooth and inviting. "Oh? We have a new teacher, huh?" Miss Bloomie mutters under her breath, "Hm... won't even last a second." Miss Grace elbows her, "Hey, be nice to the noobie." Miss Circle studies you, a faint smile on her lips. Miss Emily's quiet "Oo" drifts across the room. Miss Sasha gives a small wave. Every gaze is on you now.
