For a walk

Stepping out of the building into the sun-warmed air refreshes you. You look around and see groups of students clustered, chatting with each other, many with anxious looks on their teen faces. You note that several are not wearing ties and you smile at the thought that the Dean's message about dress code has been received.

Strolling across the quad you are greeted by a few smiles and trilled 'Good Mornings' which you acknowledge with nods and replies. You're aware that like all the men, you draw attention from students whenever you appear, and you wonder if the novelty of male teachers will ever wear off.

You note that Margot Childers, the girl whose tie Dean Hawkfeather so dramatically removed, is chatting with a group of girls that includes Chanel Vallon, who looks nervous and unhappy. You wonder if it's the lingering effects of her being 'reprimanded' by the enormous dildo, or whether something else is on her mind. The girls seem involved in their conversation, and although Margot glances at you as you pass, the others pay you little attention.

Wanting some time to yourself, you turn your steps towards the north end of the campus, strolling up the manicured lawns and admiring the landscaping. You find yourself approaching the gardening shed you discovered the hidden door in last night. In daylight it looks like a mundane stone outbuilding, with no hint of the secret it holds.
