Exchange Student

"Attention, Hoodlums." Professor Rotwood announces. "From today we're getting an exchange student from Australia. Please welcome Joey Nerk. You may sit near Ms. Long there."

"My pleasure, Principal Rotwood." Joey replies. Chad, Renee and Seth can't help but notice Haley's reaction. "Haley, what's up?" Seth asks.

"He's the Australian Dragon's little brother and…"

"If the hoodlum talk is over, I'd like to make another announcement." Rotwood says. "The school board, feeling like I couldn't be mythology teacher and principal at the same time, told me to hire another mythology teacher. Please welcome Mr. Eric Smith."

Joey's reaction to this is even bigger than the others' to him. Haley notices this. At the end of the class, Mr. Smith asks Haley to stay behind and asks Joey to wait outside.

"Ms. Long, I'm aware of yours and Mr. Nerk's secret since I'm a part of it as well." Mr. Smith says while transforming his left hand into a claw. "I'm Joey Nerk's dragon master."

"Why are you here?"

"To spy on those slayers. And I called you here to warn you not to tell Seth Hunter about Fred and me."

"Too late. I've already told him about Joey."

"Bugger. How could you reveal a dragon identity to a slayer?"

"Somehow I forgot why I shouldn't trust him."

"Your feelings are getting on the way. Either way, don't tell him about me."

"Yes, sir."

She leaves and then Joey enters. "What did he want with you, Haley?" Seth asks.

"Oh, just discussing some theories from Rotwood." She lies.

LINE BREAK – Sun Park's office

"Sun, your pupil can't keep a secret." Eric says. "She wasted no time in telling the slayer about Joey."

"You can trust Seth."

"You too? I wonder how sneaky that slayer is."

"Sneaky enough to eavesdrop a dragon's conversation."

Please review. Sorry for the shortness.
