'Did we get a new professor?' Liam wondered, narrowing his eyes at the man standing at the front of the class. 'Or have I just been out too long and forgotten he existed?'
The professor was a middle-aged man with neatly combed gray hair and sharp amber eyes that seemed to pierce through the room. He stood tall, his presence commanding respect, and wore glasses perched perfectly on his nose. His tailored suit added to his air of precision and professionalism.
Liam leaned slightly toward Dylan, lowering his voice to a whisper. "Hey, Dylan."
"What's up, man?" Dylan whispered back, leaning in with his trademark casual grin.
"Who's that? I don't think I've seen him before," Liam asked, gesturing subtly toward the professor.
Dylan's face lit up with sudden realization. "Oh, right! My bad—I forgot you were out. That's Professor Armond Caelus, our new history professor. He started a couple of days ago."
