The class was silent for a moment before another hand had rose in the air. Mallory pointed at them as the monster stood up. He was a small skeleton with cute glasses on. Mallory knew who he was by the similar soul, this skeleton was fresh. This shade's brother, Mallory smiled a bit as fresh stood up with a small blush. He could tell this fresh was very shy and nothing like the one he knew. "H-hi my name is f-fresh and I wanted to ask, if it isn't personal, how did you get those scars?" He asked as everyone looked up at the teacher, waiting for his answer.

Mallory leaned against his new desk and looked up. "𝐒𝗼𝗺𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝗼𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐭 𝗺𝐞... 𝐌𝗼𝐬𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝗼𝐟 𝗺𝐲 𝐣𝗼𝐛 𝐢 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝗼 𝐝𝗼... 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐟 𝐢𝐭 𝗺𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝗼𝐧𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝗺𝐞 𝐟𝗼𝐫 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝗺𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝..." He said. Everyone sat still, not knowing how to react to this knowledge. They hadn't expected that, they just thought he had gotten into a shit tone of fights. Looks like they were wrong... "𝐈 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐟𝗼𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝗼𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐈 𝐥𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐝, 𝗺𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝗺𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐥𝗼𝗼𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝... 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝗺𝐲 𝗼𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝗼𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝗺𝐢𝐥𝐲" Mallory said as he pulled his head back. "𝐀𝐧𝐲𝐰𝐚𝐲, 𝐈'𝗺 𝐠𝗼𝐧𝐧𝐚 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝗼𝐮 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝗼𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝗼𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫" he said as he stood up straight and walked to the back of his desk. They all nodded as Mallory reached into his pocket and pulled out a small doll version of his Mooney as he held it in his hand. The kids couldn't see the doll anyway so he went on to talk about what they were doing. From small blankets, to little things such as that. Then they moved on to talk about the bigger things like dolls, bigger blankets, shirts, sweaters, ECT.

This got some kids really hyped and other's really anxious. It reminded Mallory of himself when he himself had started to learn knitting and such. He chuckled a little and smirked "𝐝𝗼𝐧'𝐭 𝐰𝗼𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐬... 𝐈'𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝗼𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲" he said as the others smiled. It made them feel safe and trust the man the more as they got to know him. PJ smiled and thought about everything he learned so far.

The bell rang as Mallory yelped at the sudden noise. The kids stood still and laughed at him, not in a mocking way, but in a loving way. It made Mallory feel.... Safe in a sense... He loved that feeling as the kids started to leave the class and head to their next period. Mallory waved bye as the last student left. Or so he thought, PJ walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder. "Excuse me sir... But can I ask you something?" He asked. Mallory nodded as he turned to PJ's direction and gave him his full attention. "Could you maybe... Walk home with me?... My dad is working late and I don't want to walk alone..." He said in a low tone.

Mallory looked shocked but smiled softly at the teen as he rambled on about him not having to. Mallory chuckled as PJ stopped talking and looked up. "𝐎𝐟 𝐜𝗼𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐈'𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐲𝗼𝐮 𝐡𝗼𝗺𝐞... 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝗺𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫𝗼𝐮𝐬... 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐲𝗼𝐮, 𝗺𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝗼 𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝗼𝗼𝐥. 𝐖𝗼𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝗼𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝗼 𝐜𝗼𝗺𝐞?" He asked, PJ thought about it and nodded. "Yes sir, I would love to join you two" he said as Mallory nodded in agreement. "𝐘𝗼𝐮 𝐬𝐡𝗼𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝗼 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬, 𝐝𝗼𝐧'𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝗼 𝐛𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞" PJ nodded as he left the classroom for the next class to come in. Leaving Mallory to repeat the same speech once again.
