Kimberly took her seat in one of the desks, she was assigned a seat towards the front.  She new that wasn't a good sign, she new Mercer's reputation.  Had made it her reputation to know all the teachers in her first year here.  Mr. Mercer usually put his 'favorites' towards the front of the class.  He would use her for his personal demonstrations, draw attention to ther during the regular portion of his class, and then as the class came to an end, he would casually release the class, and tell her that he wanted to see her before she left.  Kimberly sighed, looking up at her teacher, her look telling him that she was unimpressed by him.  With Mercer, it didn't really matter if you behaved or not.  He would go at you just because he felt like.<br/><br/>Kimberly twirled a pen between her finger, as she waited for the class to begin.  She wondered how many of the other studen't in the class, we're part of the special program, though Mercer walked such a line that if you weren't in the program before, you would be, before too long.<br/><br/>The door opened, and another teacher came in.  A miss Du Pain, from the sounds of it.  Kimberly, would have her class later in the week.  She narrowed her eye's, slightly when he mentioned that they would be working together in this.<br/><br/>"Did you know that they would be teaching the class together today?" one of the girls behind her asked in a whisper to her her neighbor.<br/><br/>"No, I wonder whats going on," the other student replied.<br/><br/>Whatever it was, Kimberly doubted it would be anything good.  When teachers at Saint Catherine's got together for anything, it usually wasn't a good thing for the students.  Bad enough, when there was just one in the room most of the time.
