That sounded…a little ominous. But Coach being in charge of the student body wouldn’t be a bad thing. He was more in tune with the students than the other professors, and he had more respect. That was especially evident when people started murmuring and whispering, and Professor Randall tried and failed to shush everyone.
“Listen up!” Coach bellowed. “The president of the WAA is here to talk to you all, so shut it and pay attention!”
A cold chill went down my spine too quickly for Skye to hide it. I squeezed her closer as Willow turned to give Skye a wide-eyed look.
I pulled out my phone while Alexander Sombra made his way front and center. There were only a few weak claps around the gym, and a few people whispered and stifled laughter.
Just as I began to type a message out in the newly formed Link group chat, Alexander began to speak.
“Everyone, thank you for being here today. I know a lot of you have things to do as we get ready to start the new term.”
Skye was jumpy on my lap, which would have turned me on again if it weren’t because she was freaked out. I didn’t like Rafe’s dad anymore than she did, in fact, I may have disliked him more.
“I’m happy to announce that I’ll be serving as acting headmaster while Earl is indisposed.” Alexander said, and a roar of protest came from the students.
How was this legal? The president of the WAA was not qualified to serve as acting headmaster. This was something I would have petulantly brought to my mother’s attention if she hadn’t just tried to kill me.
So I decided to petulantly bring it to the attention of the next best thing.
Me

He says he’s acting headmaster now
Earl is in the wind
Shadow Dick

Why?
