The power of volume

A teacher is screaming at kid in the hall. He sounds tense and angry. The kid shouts back a few times, then gives up. Slams a locker door and runs off. I can hear the click of heels retreating down the stairs. The teacher throws open the door to the staff room and storms in. Once he’s out of sight of the hall he shuts the door quietly and laughs a full chesty laugh. “I can’t believe them.” The other teachers laugh with him.

Facades.
