Look at the character of Mr Irons.

Mr Irons is one of the upper school teachers and is famous for being one of the strictest teachers in school and for never, ever smiling. He has a long face, a long nose, longs lips and a large brown bristly moustache that he carries a tiny comb for in the front pocket of his jacket. Everyone knows about the comb because when he thinks no on is looking he takes it out and combs his moustache with it in short, straight lines.

Last year he made first-year boy who was playing 'tag' cry by telling him that only pigs squeal, and since the boy was squealing, he must come from a large family of pigs and should spend the rest of the break inside. And another time, Mrs Irons gave everyone cheering for Handstand Hannah a hundred lines to write for being so loud - even though she was about to beat the world record for the Longest Handstand in History!

'When I WANT your opinion, I'll ask for it! But until then, DON'T interrupt me again!' shouted Mr Irons. I felt my whole face go red and my tongue swell up in my mouth. I could see Brendan the Bully smirking again but this time at me.
