All things end sooner or later, and summer vacation was no exception.
Children, humans and monsters alike, were (mostly) ready to begin a new school year. Toriel greeted every single child that entered her school herself as they came through the door and they would either wave at her or greet her back in response.
Frisk was already inside with their friend Kid. Even though another teacher would be in charge of these two this year, the boss monster still had made sure they would remain in the same class and with their assigned seats next to each other whenever possible. As soon as her school had first opened, she had instantly noticed how the two would always help each other out whenever they were together without hesitation. Whether Kid required a helping hand (usually literally) or Frisk needed someone to talk for them when they couldn't, they could count on each other. This made both children happier and their grades better as a result. The previous year Kid's parents had even commented on how their child's grades had been better than ever.
She hoped the other teacher would be nice. They had been so far and ever since they had started working here, but what if-
Toriel had to remind herself that there was literally nothing to worry about. Not at her school anyway. She would make sure it would be the safest place for children in Ebott. She always did.
Just like the previous year, Frisk went back the school days' routine almost instantly. After all, when your mother is a teacher and willing to help you with your homework, it all went pretty smoothly.
There wasn't homework yet though, not so soon.
She entered her own classroom and introduced herself to her new students even though they already knew her name. Even the few human children, as they had seen her on TV a lot in the past two years. The new students introduced themselves in return.
Once school was done for the day, she met up with Frisk in front of the school and took their hand in hers as they walked home.
"So, how was your day, my child?" she asked.
"Very nice", they replied. "New teacher's cool."
"I'm glad", Toriel smiled. "If there ever is any problem with them, please do tell me."
The human child nodded and smiled at her.
She may only be a monster but she was determined to make school relatively stress-free to Frisk. Being the monster ambassador was already stressful enough.
"'Got to sit with Kid again", Frisk said.
"Oh really?" Toriel replied, pretending she didn't know that already.
She wasn't sure whether her child was buying it or not. It's not like they would tell her either way. They only smiled and nodded as they looked up at their mother's face.
They reached the house and then Toriel prepared a light snack for her child. She felt the school year would go smoothly. It was everything outside of school she was worried about.
