SlenderWolf In With the In Crowd
Chapter 13
Pyjama Party
Mr Collins the science teacher marched onto the stage in bright cobalt blue pyjamas decorated with planets and stars. Under his arm he carried an impressively fluffy teddy bear wearing flying goggles. The children giggled immediately. Even the Colonel cracked a smile … so slight it might have been accidental.
Mr Collins cleared his throat. “Good evening, young scholars! Tonight,” he says, pointing grandly towards the stars, “is our legendary Scavenger Hunt and Quiz!”
His teddy bear nods solemnly, for emphasis.
A watercolour painting of a male science teacher who is 36 years old and has a passion for the solar system. He has short brown hair and hazel eyes, and a gentle smile. At the annual pyjama party at the orphanage he appears on stage wearing his outer space pyjamas, the ones with bright planets and stars and a milky way set onto a dark cobalt blue background. Out of shot he also has his teddy bear who's wearing flying goggles. The image is labelled Mr Collins.
A watercolour painting of orphan FullyCharged, a hyperactive 9 year old boy, he has plenty of golden brown hair on top, which at the sides is neatly under control. His eyes are a deep chestnut colour - uncharacteristically calm in this pose he has a neutral expression with a hint of a smile - he is wearing a white T shirt. The image is labelled FullyCharged
