She was right of course. GoodFellow watched her enter the room and knew she was right. He also knew she would pay for any misbehavior ten fold with this guy.<br/><br/>Theodore Graham the third had tenure up the ass. He was also considered by both facility and students as a strict teacher. Graham only saw two ways, his way and everyone elses. He was like a band saw cutting the exact line down a board .  And Graham like the band saw paid no attention to what material was before him to cut into a precise piece, he just cut it all. His way.<br/><br/>Everyone else's way happened on the other side of the door. He even had an old chalk board and in the corner his two rules. The only two rules allowed in his class. Rule One, Mr. Graham is always right. Rule Two, in the unlikely event that Mr. Graham was misinformed Rule One applies.<br/><br/>Graham riveted on the door. The new student. He recognized her from this morning. She had acquired a uniform and a proper mark on her cheek. He nodded in approval wondering who she belonged to until he saw the three year Art teacher.<br/><br/>"Found your lost lamb then," Graham said not thinking much of someone who can't keep up with one bloody freshman.<br/><br/>"Yes, the Assistant Head Mistress misplaced her actually," GoodFellow stated calm.<br/><br/>At the title his posture changed. Miss Roger's had lost the girl. Lady Shaw would see to that properly. Graham had applied for that position. It should have been his not someone who couldn't keep up with charges at hand. But who was he to say. He did his job. Taught English literature and to hell with politics.<br/><br/>"All sorted out now I expected. I'll collect her later." GoodFellow told Graham and closed the door behind Astrid.<br/><br/>Graham watched the girl move closer. He pointed to a seat near the front of class. A freshman in a Junior year class seemed stupid to him.  She couldn't possibly keep up, but it wasn't his decision. He was just the English lit teacher.<br/><br/>"Have a seat young..... " Graham looked on his roster, "Young Astrid. I shall explain everything to the class once all the books have been distributed."<br/><br/>
