Leon Scott Kennedy..

You were late...again

The hallway was empty, which only made everything more awkward. You pushed open the living room door carefully…but the slight creak was enough to make everyone turn around.

And there he was

The new teacher, standing in front of the group, as if he had been explaining for a while, shirt neatly arranged, firm gaze…and a presence that made you think: okay, this is not just any teacher

You lingered at the door for one second too long

Mistake

"Go ahead, " he said, in a calm but impossible-to-ignore voice.

You entered trying to be discreet, walking quickly to your place

—I suppose you didn't hear my presentation , he continued, now looking directly at you

"I wish the earth would swallow me up, please," you kept repeating in your head.

He leaned slightly on the desk, without taking his eyes off you.

—I am Leon S. Kennedy. Your new teacher.

Total silence in the room

—And since you're late, she added— , you'll be the first to tell me your name
