Chapter 39: The Newcomers

"You're insane, Arthur!" Mark exclaimed, still laughing hysterically. "Anyway, let's drop off our bags in the dorm and head to class."

"Sure, the new principal is strict. Wouldn't want to get on his bad side on the first day by getting to class late," Olive added with a chuckle.

They both went to their dorms to unload their luggage before heading to class.

"Hey, are you okay?" Olive asked as she sat next to Lucas. "You didn't say anything before leaving the assembly hall."

"I just wasn't interested in the speech," Lucas replied with a sigh.

"Alright, students. We have two new additions joining us today," Mr. James announced as he entered the classroom. "Please welcome Samson Philip and Thomas Philip, the sons of our new principal, Mr. Philip."

The students turned their attention to the new arrivals as they entered the room.
