DOL 7

Suddenly, right in front of this sextet, stood a tall man who was dressed all in black with a shiny, new, black hat perched on his slick, black hair. He peered down at the group and boomed in a loud, monotone voice, “Welcome to Horribly Hard Middle School.”

DOL 8

The frightening man then announced that he was the dean of the school and his name was  Dean Dread.  Pauline Puerile commenced to snivel (she was such a baby) and Felicia Fey muttered a “cheer-up spell” but only succeeded in frizzing her friends hair.
