Without breaking my gaze from my paper, my right hand slipped away and wrapped around my morning juice for a large drink. Whichever maid was on current duty knew if I reached out and did not find my juice in its regular place, the paper would soon turn into a swatting device, ironically that is how I disciplined Toro when he was a pup.<br/>"I got them all worked and warmed up."<br/><br/>I folded the paper and set it down, I glanced at the watch for a different reason.<br/>"Is Miriam running a little late? Did you keep her up last night?"<br/>Smirking at Roger, I shook my head.<br/>"I am hungry! Where the hell is everyone."<br/>I could care less if the students got in late, which would result in a morning punishment and a further delayed breakfast which would result in even harder punishment. But I always waited for her to arrive, give her a polite greeting before I ate.
