Story
It began without a poof. Sam didn't notice it though, he was looking out to the sea. Sam did that often during class. He liked to daydream of going out to the beach and finding a nice wave.

That's all there was for Sam, he liked to keep to himself. He had already made a show of himself gaining the nickname "School Bus Sam" after he managed to save a bus he was in when the bus driver had a heart attack. Since then, he mostly avoided people and stuck to his waves.

He liked the fact he could go back to being unnoticeable; him with his fairly blonde hair, his not too nice body, and his not very demanding way of speaking. Yeah, he was unnoticeable surfer Sam. He was planning on keeping it that way, but when it happened he wouldn't be able to keep it going.

Sam didn't notice until he heard a tentive little whisper calling for the teacher. Sam turned his head from the window to see Bette. Bette, Bouncing Bette, who never remembered to keep from doing things that aggravated the teachers; like whispering. Though, if Sam expected to see a teacher, he didn't get one.

Freaks are what Caine knew, not disappearing teachers. All Caine knew was that while he surveyed the class the teacher had vanished on him. At first Caine thought he should teach someone a lesson. Then he figured he might need a lesson to explain this happening.
