May 22nd - Distraction

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:23 am

It had only been a couple of days, but Nailah had decided that one skipped day of classes was enough (dashing the hopes of some the students in her tuesday class) and had gone back to work. It certainly wasn't the best class she's ever held but overall it probably could have gone worse and now she's walking down the hallways, trying to decide if she should go straight home or drop by the teacher's lounge.

"P...professor Weaver?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:31 am

"Oh! Good afternoon, Altamira."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:53 am

And Altamira ran up and embraced her. "Nailah!"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:56 am

Nailah lets out a faint 'Ooph' before returning the hug.

"So you heard..."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:48 am

"Are you OK? Are you alright! I was so worried about you!"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:49 am

"I'm okay. Maybe not alright yet, but I will be." she says, putting on a smile.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:52 am

"You will be! We will make you be!"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 4:58 am

"Thank you, Mira. It's been a rough couple of days."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 6:17 pm

"But are you alright? You're not hurt or anything, are you? You're OK, aren't you?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 6:34 pm

"I'm unharmed, you can calm down." she says, forcing a bigger smile. "I'm just trying to process what happened."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 6:35 pm

"Good! We can't have Nailah feeling sad, that would be awful!"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 6:38 pm

"Nothing to worry about. I'm not feeling sad." she says, bending the truth a little.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 6:41 pm

"Oh, Nailah. Do not lie to me, please?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 6:46 pm

"I didn't. Not exactly anyway... But you're right." she sighs, glancing down the hallway as if to make sure there aren't any students still milling about. "I'm not really sad. It's more that I feel terrified and violated..."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Tue Mar 01, 2011 7:31 pm

"That is a horrible thing. No one's going to hurt you anymore, Nailah..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 3:09 am

"I know. It's over. It's just... taking a while for that to truly sink in."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 3:33 am

"Can I help?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 3:40 am

"Just stay your optimistic self. Maybe it'll catch on." she chuckles weakly.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 3:50 am

"Oh, that doesn't seem promising, at ALL."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 3:55 am

"If you have any better ideas..." she laughs. It's only a little bit off.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 4:01 am

Altamira paused in thought.

"We could go somewhere! Somewhere fun?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 4:06 am

"That does sound like it could be a good idea."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 4:08 am

"Do you have another class this afternoon?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 4:14 am

"I still have some things to go over, but I can probably free the time."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 4:18 am

"Well, I wouldn't want to keep you from anything..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 4:23 am

"Paperwork and grading is not as good a distraction as you might think."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 4:25 am

"It sounds DREADFULLY dull."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 4:28 am

"Maybe not that dull, but it's not the most thrilling activity, no."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 4:53 am

"Why do you assign so much?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 4:57 am

"It's a reasonable amount of work to expect from people who are serious about taking my classes."

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 5:10 am

"Pfft. Pfft, I say!" she smiled.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 5:12 am

"And this is why it's impossible to be friends with students." she smirks.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 2:47 pm

"Perhaps. But I'm not a normal student, anymore."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 3:01 pm

"Being the Phoenix excuses you from essays and assignments?" she chuckles.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 3:06 pm

"In one class actually....yes," she frowned.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 3:14 pm

Nailah quirks an inquisitive eyebrow.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 3:30 pm

"Some teachers are stupid," she explained.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 3:37 pm

"A kind of lesson in itself, I suppose." she says, faintly shaking her head.

by **Altamira Vazquez** » Wed Mar 02, 2011 3:39 pm

"And one I didn't come here to learn."
