PART 73

After getting ready, Sky, Nani, Win, Dew, and Bright—all in the same class—walked to school together.  They settled into their usual seats next to each other, the familiar chatter of friends filling the air before class began. The classroom buzz quieted instantly as their homeroom teacher entered. "Good morning, Class 2," she said, her voice clear and calm. "Some of you may know me, but for those who don't, I'm Jen. You can call me Ma'am Jen. I'm 35 years old, and I'll be your homeroom teacher this semester." Win leaned over to whisper to Nani, "Damn, she's sexy.  Even if she said she's 35, she looks like she's 18!" Nani giggled softly in agreement, "I know, right?" Ma'am Jen adjusted her glasses. "Today, we have a new classmate joining us from New York. He's not here yet, but he may arrive later." Bright sighed wearily, "There's always a new transfer student on the first day.  It's practically a tradition."
