In the many classrooms that, as the time mercilessly marched towards the dreaded 7:30 AM, the main topic of discussion was about the news, rumors circulating about a mysterious new student joining their ranks.
Inside the senior grader's classroom, the twelfth-grade students had the same rowdy chatter filling up the air.
"Did you guys hear the latest news?" One short ash brown-haired boy exclaimed turning his attention to the rest of the class. He was known for being quite well informed, already showing the skills for the prospects to an exciting future.
"What news? What did you hear?"
"Don't leave us hanging man!"
"What are you talking about?"
Instantly, the gazes of almost everyone in the class turned to him. Eager questions hoping to hear some juicy bits were fired in his direction.
The boy, Eric chuckled at the hunger his classmates were showing, clearly relishing in the spotlight, the attention he was receiving.
