Sylv titled her head in the direction of the voice, her attention finally back on the book she was reading. Blinking when the tone registered, she made a soft noise in the back of her throat as she tore her focus from her chapter. She blinked once more in confusion as her gaze traveled the room before settling on Aleksandr, she offered him a nod and a slight tilt of her head. 

"Yes?" She asked softly. The sound of footsteps drawn closer and slowing had her gaze shifting away for a moment only to notice James taking a seat a desk ahead of them. Her attention focused on Aleksandr when James offered a wave and friendly smile before turning to the front.  Sylv knew class was starting soon, her feet must of guided her here while her mind had wondered. 

She huffed softly and pushed those thoughts firmly away as she waited for Aleksandr to say what it was he needed. Her book closing in her hands was a silent action meant to signal that someone had her full attention.

Rising to her feet and moving until she stood before her desk, Estonia watched as students began to trickle in. The clock above struck 12 and with practiced ease, she lifted her right hand and sent a dagger sailing through the air. He hit the door and she watched as the few students that were still in the hall, slammed rather painfully into the now closed door. 

"Those who are not in this room at the correct time will remain in the hall until I deem you worthy of entering. My name is Estonia Yale, Dr. Yale of Professor Yale will do when your addressing me. Since this is the first day and I know none of us want to be here, me included, I'll get to the gritty parts. This course consists of English, that includes textbooks and independent books that I will personally be handing to you to read. Each week a book will be chosen and we'll read it aloud in class as well as doing a worksheet that's relevant to what we're covering.  Anyone who forget their worksheet or damaged the books that I am 'lending' you, the consequences will be severe. I'm not here to coddle you, I'm here to educate you. Now here are the required meterials and such for this course, those of you who are thinking of leaving here and going to the Guidence Counselor to switch out of this class? Don't bother. Your stuck with me for this year and next, get used to it, now the first week will be spent in reviewing the basics before we start on any actual material. Questions?" 

Estonia watched as no hands rose into the air, her arms were crossed over her chest, her eyes scanning the room at large. Assessing who would pass and who would fail, by the spook looks and pale faces, she'd gotten her point across. 

[i]Like deer caught in headlights.[/i] She chuckled mentally as she pushes away from her desk and holds out the first of two stacks of packets. The nearest student takes it and with a sheepish nod, takes one and hands the others back. Taking the second packet from her desk, she passes it to the closest student on the other side of the classroom and watches tiredly as he took offers a nod. Once those within the room have a packet and a few have been returned, Estonia briskly makes her way to the door and tugs it open. 

Handing the packets to the first girl, she turns back to head towards her desk. They had a fee minutes left but with the headache pounding in her temples, she wanted to be alone. "Be here next class on time, good day." She stated briskly as she reached for her bag and all but jogged from her classroom. She had lunch and with how the clouds were thickening, she'd breed to grab something and return before it really began to pour. [@Briza]
