As the first warning bell rings my little Care bears start to line up outside the classroom door in pairs.
I stand at the door and quickly scan the lines hoping to find Ryder. My eyes roam over my Care Bears once, twice, three times before I accept the fact he's not going to attend class today. I look at Sanz from the doorway and discreetly shake my head.
Sanz shakes his head furiously as he runs his hands through his black mass of hair. Ryder's missing from the line and my heart instantly drop.
"Alright, Care Bears. Let's count in twos as you enter the room please." I plaster a smile on my face just for them.
"And... I hope last night, you all took the time to write your first entry in your new journals that you were given?"
"Yeeesss!" They cheer with enthusiasm.
