10. Retaliation means a war

Marcus’ POV

The principal’s office lay at the epicentre of the school’s administration department yet remained shielded from the chaos. A couple of couches lay outside his room and a glass teapoy was placed in the middle. Since it was after the official hours, I doubted that he was with any company. Taking my chance, I walked up to the black wooden door that lay as a passage to his chamber. A golden metal plate was firmly fixed into the wood, with the words ‘Sherman Fields’ written on it with black ink. I knocked on it twice, and instantly heard his voice.

“Come in.”

Twisting the door knob, I stepped into the room as I opened the door. Sherman looked up from his paper and gave me a grin. “Oh, Marcus, please come in.”

Nodding, I closed the door behind me before I walked to his table, “You wanted to see me?”

“Yes, but before that, how was your first day?”

I shrugged, “It was alright. Nothing I hadn’t expected.”

“I’m sure you’re impressed with our students. They are very skilled.”
