“Call it what you will, it keeps our days from being boring. There’s always a story to tell, good or bad.” At least, that was how Jack viewed being a teacher. He took the position at first to avoid his powers over decay being seen as villainous. Using them for good such as breaking down compost. Kids were also a distraction for him so that his powers wouldn’t be blown out of control. No need to accidentally turn the school grounds into Silent Hill.

Jack responded with a bit more enthusiasm than John did. Pocahontas tended to side on the more optimistic view of things. The kids could be crazy, but at least it was never dull around here. It was certainly more interesting than the stereotypical office pencil-pusher job. "Well, this conversation has been riveting, but we should probably get moving on. Kids will start pouring into the classrooms soon," she said.

John sighed before getting up. To his surprise, he didn't sway when he got up, but he did down the rest of his drink. Making a face because it wasn't as warm as it had been before they started talking. His throat burned at the strong alcohol mixed with lukewarm coffee. He had a feeling he would be stopping by the nurse's office for some painkillers later for the pulsing headache that was starting to form.
"Right. Little wankers need babysitting," he sighed before heading out the door.

“Hopefully we can have more talks without students soon. Lunch goes by too quickly.”
Thirty minutes was not enough time to eat. Morning time was even quicker. At least this school’s bus duty was lenient. No standing in the colder months. Jack ignored John calling the job “babysitting”. This kids came from different homes. Who knew the iceberg system with these kids. There was always more under the surface. But he’d think about it later with the right time. With a smile to John and Pocahontas, he headed out to his classroom.

"Take it easy there, buddy," Pocahontas called as John headed out the door. She sighed. He was going to be a handful. Would he ever open up about why he drank so much in the first place? Pocahontas doubted it. He had some serious walls up, and a bit of snarkiness. Jack left soon after and Pocahontas did the same. Hopefully, the kids would be less of a handful.
