A humiliating experience

As I rush in, Chloe is already sitting in her chair with a smug grin on her face. The classroom is filled with a prattle of students and the buzzing of text messages. I feel clearly flustered from my mad dash. By the time I compose myself, Chloe has taken the initiative.
"Well... looks like we have a new special guest joining us today..." she says slightly mockingly.

I try to ignore her. "Hello students! It is nice to meet you all. I am your new teacher, Elizabeth Taylor!" I turn to write my name on the whiteboard only to find a name already written on it. Chloe even had time to prepare it seems... The letters spell out 'Lizzie the Loser' much to the quiet amusement of the class. I clean the board and write my name properly on it though I am quite aware the students already don't respect me. "I teach math and french language so I will meet some of you in another class. Do not be afraid to come to me with your problems - I will do my best to help. Math can be scary but we will get through it, ok?" I smile reassuringly hoping to win them over. "Anyone got any questions so far?"

Chloe raises her hand smugly. "Damn it, I shouldn't have asked. I might as well have requested she makes fun of me!" She looks me straight in the eyes. "Miss Taylor, do you have any experience teaching in a prestigious school like ours? I mean we are used to the best," she smirks. "I would hate to think we are getting subpar instruction from some random newbie."

_"Damn that is an easy blow." _I try to look confident. "No I have not yet taught anywhere else in this position but I promise you, I graduated top of my class and have plenty of experience..." I continue without considering my next words, "especially with handling unruly brats." Immediately I realize what I said. "CURSE MY DAMN TONGUE!"

Chloe's eyes flash with anger at my remarks as the class snickers. She stands up and slams her hand on the desk. "Who are you calling a brat, bitch?!" In a second the class is quiet like a tomb. Chloe glares at me, face red. The air feels thick and I can practically feel the daggers in her eyes.

"Oh, don't take it so personally Chloe. I meant it as a general statement. I didn't realize you are so insecure that you would take this personally..."

She looks livid. "Oh I took it PERSONALLY alright. And now it's time for you to pay." She turns to the class her voice dripping with venom and threat. "Alright, listen up! From now on when this bitch tries to teach you anything, IGNORE HER!" she leaves the threat unspoken.
