There actually wasn't a pile of fresh vegetables on the front table, today. Instead, there was a digital projector and a laptop. Probably both stolen from the teacher's boyfriend. Fortunately, he did all the poking at it trying to get it to work before class, as proved by the YouTube page projected on the wall.
There was also a large cooler on the floor in front of the table, filled with a variety of booze. Eliot himself was slouched behind the table with his feet up on a spare chair, covered in light scratches and pressing an icepack to his face.
"I didn't have time to prepare the usual class today," he announced when it was time to start. "I was busy tryin' not to be the main course for a buncha creepy-ass man-eating teddy bears. Have a movie day. There's booze."
And he tipped his own bottle of beer back to take a long swig, and hit
play on the computer.
