A/N: Wow, this is short... Um, can I promote a new fic here? 'Cuz, it's up. It's the follow up fic from 'Introduction', to be found in this collection, called 'Specter Detectors'.
33. Expectations
Edward Lancer sat in what he called his office, the now empty classroom on the second floor of Caspar High School, his desk lit by the old desk lamp he had inherited from his predecessor. Tomorrow, school would start and summer would officially be over. It would be hard to tame them, the new freshman students, thinking a lot of themselves because they were now in high school.
He sighed and looked at the lists containing the names of the students he would see for the first time in the morning. Most of them he didn't know, but some names were familiar, as he had had their older siblings in his class. Others, like Baxter, Manson, Sanchez, were completely new.
He scanned the list until his gaze fell on a very familiar name. Fenton, Daniel. His eyes lit up. This would be interesting. If his sister was anything to go by, the boy would probably excel at everything he did. Jasmine Fenton had been his favorite student, and he was sorry he didn't teach junior English.
Spirits lifted a little, he gathered his papers and shoved them in a desk drawer. For at least one of his students, he had great expectations. This was going to be an interesting year after all.
