A few days after Kevin voiced his worries to Holt, they began to devise plans for the new school year. They made a whole years worth of lesson plans, timetable, tests, they'd practically done all of next years work.
"So tell me about my class," Kevin said.
"Are we lifting the no work talk at home policy?" Holt asked.
"Well now we have the same place of work it seems silly to keep it in place. Plus all I have heard about them so far is all the bad stuff they do, what are they really like," Kevin inquired.
"Well there is Hitchcock and Scully, do not bother trying to call them by their first names, they do not remember them. They are loveable but dopey, food is the main thing on their minds but they are good people, a little strange but they try hard when they are not sleeping," Holt told Kevin.
Holt pressed on through the rest of the class.
"Charles Boyle, is one of the most selfless and kindhearted people there is. He will do anything for his friends and absolutely worships Jake and the ground he walks on. His grades are good and he is a pretty good student, if you are not bothered by his continuous stream of anecdote interruptions. Rosa Diaz is one of the most talented and misunderstood people I have met. She is tough but do not be fooled, she has a big heart and will always try her best. Behaviour can sometimes be an issue but grades never are," Holt went on.
Kevin's excitement was growing. He couldn't wait to meet his new class.
"Now Miss Gina Linetti Spaghetti Confetti. She is a force of nature, so unique it is a wonder to know her. Her confidence sometimes mask her true kindness. Her and Jake together can be a handful though. Oh and be prepared for some dance routines," Holt warned him.
He smiled, the prospect of having Gina in a class was slightly more nerve wracking.
"Finally Amy and Jake, they are polar opposites of each other. Amy is the most diligent and dedicated student you will ever meet, she is extremely bright and excels at everything academically. Jake tends to lack self belief, he is easily distracted and struggles to manage his behaviour but he is incredibly smart. Both are very good young people and have hearts of gold, I am sure you will get very attached to them all," Holt finished.
"I very much doubt that, but they sound like a nice group," Kevin replied.
"Oh just you wait and see..." Holt said.
