Funny, he’d never really thought about them existing when they weren’t at school. Yes, yes, yes! That inversion is just perfect, having the teacher think that way about the students instead of vice-versa.
“Not what you were expecting?”
He’d thought a school, or a military academy, or… a school. Or… Actually…
“Looks pretty fun.” I'm dying with love over here. George is coming for me next. Or maybe Mason....Mmmm...Mason....
And the ending is just perfect! Fantastic!
One tiny quibble: the word footballer. I could be wrong, but I've never in my life heard an American say that about American football, only about soccer, and only then foreign soccer, if the person is really, really into it. So it would either be "football player" or "soccer player," though I'm kind of assuming you mean the former.
