Watching minds break

Chapter seven

"Wow I haven't ever heard anyone stand up to lily like that , she's a hand full huh"the American teacher says as he runs his finger through his dark brown hair
"She surely is "I say while smiling
"Huh British huh?"he asks me
"Why is that the first thing everyone takes notice of ! " I say while chucking and add"no but my mom was and my dad was Irish "I say as his face curls into a smile
"Oh by the way I am Mathis " he says as he sees the board "Mazanna ?"he asks
"MARzanna "I say with a smile as the bell rings again"oh you should be going , the kids will be here soon "I say as he smiles and than leaves the room as the kids file in
On the chalk board I write 'the Salem witch trials '"the Salem witch trials really wow such great imagination "lily says sarcastically
"Thank you , go to the principals office the next time you feel to speak out of turn" I say as i hand out new chalk because 50 percent had been shattered "okay what do you know about the Salem witch trials "I ask as the kids all start talking at once"wait wait I don't want to hear it tell your chalk board " I say with a smile as the talking subsides and the creaking of chalk arises from the corner of my eye I see Mathis peeking through the door I walk toward him and I shoo him into the hall where I ask" why are you here why aren't you with your class?"
" I heard chalk , not many teacher use chalk when they can use the computer or dry erase boards"Mathis says
"Well I like old fashioned, what's a computer?" I ask wondering if he was referring to the glowing box of doom

He started to laugh and then he realized I was serious
"Oh um it's very strange , when were you born?"Mathis asks
"None of your bloody business " I say as I start to walk away than he grabs my shoulder and spins me around and I look at him angrily "go away " I say
" oh you work at the postal office" Mathis says happily "I thought they would never get someone new , no one has come in 6 months , I was getting lonely, so what are you " I stare at him in shock " oh yeah I am a science experiment gone wrong that's why i teach science it's an inside joke "he says
"I don't know what I am " I say
" I was made in a Nazi camp , my dad did this to me and to think I wanted to be just like him "Mathis says while laughing he stops laughing and says "here meet me for dinner , it's the first day so you shouldn't have homework to grade "Mathis says as he hands me a card for a fancy restaurant "oh and dress nicely I don't want to be embarrassed by the newbie , but seriously apply more concealer tomorrow it looks like you have been crying"he says as he flashes a sincere glance

I storm back into the class Room surprised to find it completely silent "um good job with the silence , I hope it wasn't to snoop but even then good job,, so what do you have down " I say as I walk around the room reading the chalk boards when I reached Lily's I saw she had down 'well the Salem witch trials were' and in big letters 'your a witch lol' "is that what you would like me to send to your parents lily? " I ask calmly
"Sure why not if I am trapped in this ghost town I might as well be 'trapped' in my room " lily says making air quotes around the second trapped
"Oh lily , here just tell me about this , these women and men were hang because of someone's twisted perception , but isn't that all your thought are found upon , Salem may be the most famous but in many many places this happened , much more severely in some than others " I say "So class all of you are very close but most of you said that witches were hung right ? In science there has never been any reason to be live that witches were real it should be more around 'people were accused of being witches were unjustly hung ' " I say while writing on the board . The rest of class was spent memorizing the victims names
