New School, New Me, New Murder | A Deadly Town Series | 1

Okay you got to be kidding me.

The school got even more Grey. Even the principal is grey! To be honest he looks like Jacob from a handmaid's tale but his skin is grey, his suit is gray, and so are his eyes. They look like the eyes a man that has no soul in him, or no compassion. He also looks younger yet older at the same time, but distinguished with his full head of hair and a well-groomed beard.

His office is surprise surprise Grey, and without a single photo insight. The man looks bored as he explains my schedule to me like he has better things to do. A complete contrast from the principles I've had in the past. Who are almost like kids themselves hopping from one foot to the other, really excited to have you here, and telling you to "have a great day".

This guy doesn't even as much as Grunt in my direction as I leave his office; to wander aimlessly around the school Halls. It's in those Halls where I got to find the few glimpses of non Grey a random student-made poster is the first sighting of color, but the sparkly pink card stock that is telling you about the new play; is extremely ripped up definitely very old and forgotten about.

But father down the hall to my AP math class in room 536 is a wall line with images of students saying missing. Some of the images are so old that they're black and white and clearly a rare photo that was taken for a Sunday's best, and others are newer. Some of them being posted as of yesterday. There are probably more students on this missing wall than there are in students my entire grade of 121, but I don't get the time to count and know for sure.

As the bell is going to ring in a minute and I need to get to class.
