Fishy arrived at the IIIrd LO. It was devoid of organic life. Maybe it was like this because the time was four in the morning.
Fishy decided to kill some time by getting extra high. He took out a device known as 'The Chainsmoker'. A gift from Snoop, it allowed a single person to smoke more than a hundred blunts at the same time. He quickly loaded the machine and lit the blunts on fire. The power of the resulting high surprised even our narcotic veteran. Our readers will be spared the dubious pleasure of the details of Fishy's high.
When he returned to his senses, it was almost inauguration time. Ignoring several students who were clearly interested why their principal had been lying on the pavement, Fishy went to the IIIrd LO's grand hall. Having taken the microphone, he silenced the students by saying:

-Let's have a deal where you stop talking and I give a speech.

Since the as-helpful-as-ever janitor left Fishy's rusty but trusty 'k next to where he would be standing, the uncontrollable babble of the students turned into a deafening silence in an instant. Fishy then gave an inspiring speech, concluding with:

-And remember, dear students; this year's motto is "It's fun to be IIIrd"! Go and enjoy your last day of freedom, then work even harder than ever before!

Ms Important congratulated Fishy on his astounding speech. Fishy said he'd not give her any more money than she had already been receiving for her job. Hearing that, Ms Important rushed out of Fishy's office, slamming the door theatrically.

The next day, Fishy had the math lesson, with his favorite (and the only one given to him) class: 2weed.
During the lesson, most students were either bored or full of misunderstanding of the topic, however Goldy was looking at his teacher in a terrified manner. This gave Fishy the feeling of fulfillment. After the lesson, Goldy stayed in the classroom and was looking clearly nervous. He stood up and approached Fishy, holding his phone in his hand.

-Sir, can you please explain this? - Goldy showed Fishy the unfortunate message he had received the last night.

-Ah.. Uhmm, I wasn't feeling well at that time. Forgive me for waking you up. - Little did he know that he had done much more harm to Goldy than just waking him up.  - Now please scram, as I'm busy.

Fishy made his way to his office, only to be greeted by Froggy.

-What is amiss this time, you useless piece of advisor? - asked Fishy with his typical tone full of cynicism, smiling ironically.

-Well, there is a problem, sir. I've been chosen by you to go to Germany. And I don't know any German! How will I talk to people out there?

-You idiot, ask your students to teach you the language and stop bothering me!

-But I will have to give a speech! It's not something they can do! I tried talking to our German teacher, Bukky, but he refused saying that he's got too little time to help me.

-Oh this petty motherfucker! I'll talk to him. He needs to feel some authority that he's clearly forgetting to be under. There is nothing more important than our business in this school.

-And me! - added Ms Important from the neighboring room.

Not responding to her, Fishy turned around and got out of the office. He quickly made it to Bukky's classroom. He talked to him and asked him to prepare Froggy's speech, but he refused, saying:

-Sorry, sir, I'd love to help but I simply don't have enough time. Family reasons and lots of work at school.

-Oh yeah, if you don't help him, you won't have ANY time at all." - said Fishy, giving Bukky a menacing look and sliding his thumb across his neck.

-I guess I could find some time to draw up a speech in German. I never really wanted to go to my dad's funeral anyway. - Bukky didn't sound as convincing, yet at this point he had no choice but to agree.

-That's the spirit! - Fishy said, giving Bukky a friendly bump on the arm. His employee didn't look very pleased though. In fact, Fishy got the impression that Bukky liked him less and less with every second he was spending in his classroom. What's more, the headmaster actually spotted a spark of rebellion in Bukky's eye. Not that he cared about it much.

The next day, he headed right to the math lesson with the class 2weed.
