Chapter 18: Cassandra

I entered my first class of the Spring semester and, like everyone else, was surprised to find the headmaster standing at the front of the class, his large arms crossed, his beady eyes staring down a crooked nose. He stood at least six and a half feet tall and weighed nearly 300 pounds. He stared down at me, the student he was forced to take because of some favor he owed from too many years ago to count. None of the other students at the academy need worry about me being his teacher's pet.
