Ms. L/n has recently been known across the school and favored by just about everyone. Her weapon? Free candy, and a optimistic personality many people gravitate towards to. Meanwhile, her next door coworker doesn't seem to fond of her teaching style. But contrary to many beliefs that develop at first due to her bubbly personality, she has an entangled history.
