If chaos had a face, it would look exactly like Riley Quinn right now.
Her hair was messy, hoodie half-zipped, and her backpack was hanging by one strap like it had just survived a zombie apocalypse. She crashed into the classroom, out of breath, holding a half-eaten sandwich.
Riley Quinn(FL)
"I'm not late," *she announced, panting*
Riley Quinn(FL)
"The clock is lying. Time is fake. So is this sandwich."
Every student turned to her in horror, Not because she was late, But because he was already standing at the front.
The man. The myth. The human death glare in a suit.
Tall, sharp-jawed, and dressed like he was about to deliver a TED Talk on how to kill someone with a pen, the new professor had the entire room frozen in terror.
He didn't speak right away.
He just turned his head slowly. Coldly.
Dead eyes locked on Riley.
Even the sandwich in her hand seemed to get nervous.
Kieran Vale
"Miss Quinn," *he said, voice smooth and sharp like a blade*
Kieran Vale
"Would you like to leave your sandwich outside? Or should I feed it to you through a calculator?"
Riley Quinn(FL)
*Riley blinked* "Okay wow. That's-morbidly creative."
Riley Quinn(FL)
*She muttered* "I liked the last professor. He at least smiled before crushing souls."
Riley blinked twice, unimpressed by the threat. Still, she dragged her feet to the nearest chair and dropped into it with the grace of a brick
Riley Quinn(FL)
"Wow," *she mumbled, loud enough for half the class to hear* "First day and I already met the final boss."
The guy next to her slid his chair a little farther away like she was contagious.
Professor Vale continued writing equations on the board, his back ramrod straight, movements sharp - like even the chalk was scared of him
Riley Quinn(FL)
*Riley pulled out her notebook, flipped it to a random page, and drew a gravestone*
Riley Quinn(FL)
"RIP: Riley Quinn. Killed by Algebra and Attitude."
The girl beside her leaned over, whispering without moving her lips
Amber
"They say he once expelled a student for breathing too loud."
Riley Quinn(FL)
*Riley grinned* "Let's hope he's not allergic to sarcasm."
At the front of the room, Professor Vale suddenly stopped writing. He turned, slow and dramatic - like a horror movie villain.
Riley Quinn(FL)
*She looked up, completely unfazed*
Kieran Vale
"Keep talking, and I'll assign you math problems so evil they scream."
