DOL 16
Among the teachers, only a few didn’t look too mean or formidable.  They just didn’t look like the friendly teachers the kids had had in elementary school, and most of them dressed in somber clothes that looked like they were stiff and uncomfortable.

DOL 17

Olivia Otiose, who was more perceptive than most sixth-graders but lazy when it came to work, saw that one teacher’s smile was genuine.  This teacher wore a blousy white shirt and a long pink skirt, and she had stuck a pink flower in her thick blonde tresses.  

Perceptive: having or showing sensitive insight

Blousy: A fluffy shirt
