Chapter 88: 88-Not An Ugly Duckling

Helanie:

"Hello class, I'm Professor Emmet McQuoid, your class teacher, and I'll be the one to teach you the history of wars, werewolves, other creatures, as well as herbs and weapons. Physical training, however, will be conducted by my brothers," he said, tossing the papers onto the podium, then quickly grabbing his glasses and putting them on.

I had never seen him wearing glasses before. I turned to check on Sydney and Salem, who were both exchanging glances—constantly looking at each other before finally turning to Emmet.

"So, let's get started with the first class," he said, quickly adjusting his tie before lowering his head to begin flipping through the pages of the book he had brought with him.

As his head was down, I noticed him briefly raising his eyes, his eyebrows furrowing for a moment. His gaze landed directly on me, and then he quickly looked away as if he just wanted to confirm I was there.
