Alina realised the babies still hadn't caught on that their schedule had changed—hahaha. They were so cute, happily learning whatever she decided to teach them as if it had always been part of the plan.
When the bell rang for break, the room exploded into motion. Little chairs scraped, tiny feet pitter-pattered, and in seconds every single one of them had bolted for the door without so much as a backward glance. She chuckled at the sight… well, except for one little ghost who lingered behind.
"Teacher~~" Boo floated toward her in a slow, mysterious drift, his eyes glimmering with that unmistakable 'I know something' sparkle.
"What's the gossip today, Boo?" she asked, smiling knowingly.
Instead of answering, the little ghost gave a cheeky giggle and shook his head, as if to say, Oh, you have no idea.
"Boo, be quick, you'll be late for lunch—and if you're late, there'll be no more food!" she teased.
