You missed the salute!!!

Back to present,

The entire class gasps in surprise at Aiden's sudden display of aggression.

He continues walking towards her until they are standing inches apart, staring down into her wide brown eyes. Through gritted teeth, he says, "I don't know if you've noticed, but you don't belong here."

Stepping in between the two students, Mrs. Sophia says, "That will do, Aiden."

Aiden looks back at her and says, "I'm Sorry, Mrs. Sophia, I shouldn't have made such an outburst."

Smiling at him, Mrs. Sophia nods.

"Before you two start, let me explain it to you so you don't get hurt or anything... okay?" She asks calmly. 'This will be a good opportunity to learn about the basics,' she thinks to herself.

Lila scoffs and rolls her eyes.
