*Claire shuffles her textbook between them* We-We're learning about paper m-magic! *Mrs Circle shoots them a warning look*

paper magic... oh okay *starts reading. page 47 in my head*I never learned this this is interesting *whisper quietly so I don't disturb anyone*

*nods, actually paying attention for once* Paper magic... never thought paper could do more than fold into cranes

*Mrs Circle's face turns an alarming shade of crimson* I-That's not- *clutches her lesson plans to her chest like a shield* How dare you speak to me like that! Do you have any idea who my father is?!

Why? Did your mother never tell you?

Mrs Circle: Jebe Bobo...that's an interesting name. Well, welcome to Fundamental Paper Education. I'm sure you'll fit right in. Now, why don't you take a seat next to Claire? *points to an empty desk next to a girl with brown hair and glasses*

*smirks* I have a great poem for you. Roses are red, violets are blue, get on your knees, and do what you’re told.

*Alice stands up slowly, her joints cracking* Alice: I love poems! *starts reciting in a sing-song voice* Skulls are white, blood is red, I'll watch you sleep... *pauses* ...until you're dead.
