The First Thought

By: Major Frostwing

"...And with that class is dismissed." The man said with a smile he gathered his papers together as the students left the classroom only one was left behind a woman with maroon hair named Cherilee. He smiled watching her work diligently. "Cherilee you know class has let out already you can leave." He said looking at her she didn't move except for writing. He sighed walking over to her he placed a hand on her shoulder she jumped looking at him.

"Mr. Night I'm sorry I will study harder for the next test." Cherilee said almost in a panic which made him chuckle.

"Cherilee you did fine on this test a hundred as always no need to freak out so much." He ran a hand through his dark blue hair and smiled to her. "You should hurry and get home there have been reports of a person attacking people please be safe on your way to your dorm." He said sternly. Cherilee looked down calmly and gathered her things before walking out. Martin sighed as he went over to his desk he placed his head into his hands. "What are you doing Martin she is a student." He said standing up and gathering his things he walked out towards his car to drive home.

Martin made it home without danger interrupting his calm drive except for that asshole on the highway. Who cuts across four lanes of traffic like a mad man without using a blinker. "I swear people are so stupid sometimes." He said as he walked towards his door he quickly unlocked it dropping his stuff near the door. "I need a drink." He said as he saw a bottle of whiskey he poured two fingers worth of the warming liquid into a glass then decided to make it a double. "Screw it I really need a drink today." Martin took his glass walked into his living room he turned on his tv and watched the news hearing that there was another attack at his school when he got a phone call. He looked at his phone annoyed until he saw the contact. "Dean Celestia. It's about the attacks I bet." He picked up his phone and answered it. "Yes Dean what can I do for you?" He said taking a drink.

"Are you watching the news?" She asked concerned.

"No Dean I am trying to build my F laser cannon to fail my students." Martin said taking another drink.

"So in other words you are getting drunk and watching the news as usual." She said flatly.

"You know it. But yes I am watching the news another attack I see." Martin said slightly annoyed. "Why haven't the police caught this fucker yet?" He asked angrily. He finished off his drink.

"Do not get lippy with me Martin I want you to keep a close eye on your night students and make sure they are safe." Celestia said calmly.

"I'm sorry Celestia A lot has happened this past few years." Martin set his glass down sighing. "I will keep a close eye on the students I promise." He rubbed his forehead trying to calm himself.

"Just be safe Martin and thank you enjoy your night." She said as she hung up Martin looked at his phone.

"I won't not since that day but maybe I can start over." He picked up his glass and poured himself another drink he needed to sleep but after this drink.
