It's the first day of another year at North Central Fremont High School and Ms. Andersen is in her homeroom early, setting out a course syllabus and student handbook on each desk before her first period freshman biology class arrives. Each book says "NCFHS" on the cover, along with some generically "exciting" splashes of color to make the book look... well, look like something more interesting than a book of school rules that are in large part bureaucratic tedium for both students and staff.
Well, except for this last handbook, where the colors are a bit off and the cover alignment is funky. Looks like the color ink might have been a bit low for this last printing or something. Oh well! Whoever takes that desk is just going to end up with a bit of a weird book. With all the desks taken care of, Ms. Andersen props open the door. The wall opposite her homeroom door is lined with open lockers awaiting their owners for the year but is otherwise bland and deserted -- in just half an hour or so, though, these halls will be bustling with students!
