fandomhigh | How to Be a Complete Bitch Without Trying, Workshop 3, Period 2 (Monday, July 21)

When the students trickled into class today, they would probably be surprised to see that Tink and Jean-Paul were both already there. They had shown up early, instead of being fashionably late for once. Well. Being predictable was not very chic, now was it?

More importantly, Tink and Jean-Paul were very engrossed in a conversation of their own which had nothing to do with the pathetic, silly children that they were supposed to be teaching.

As Jean-Paul and Ms. Bell continued their very important conversation about her shoes and his hair, the students might notice that on the blackboard behind them, words had been written. These words, in fact: IGNORE THOSE LESS IMPORTANT THAN YOU. For the students capable of putting two and two together and getting four, this might explain a few things.

Students should, of course, be forewarned that having their own conversations would constitute ignoring those more important than themselves, and thus a shocking display of rudeness. The less important just had to suck up and sit quietly and wait their turn.

Or, of course, they could interrupt their professors to explain that they had, in fact, gathered the point of this week's lesson. Good luck with that one ...

Spend class bored, ignored, and unloved. Wait for Tink and Jean-Paul to finish their conversation and pay attention to you. (HINT: they're not going to.)

As soon as Ron saw that he was being ignored, he just got up and headed for the door.

He had more important people in his life who needed to ignore him.

Excuse her? Excuse her? Did he not see that they were talking up here? They were! Talking! And he was going to get up and leave!? This was class! He was being very rude! He had no manners at all and his grandfather was going to be very disappointed! Sit that butt down, Mister, and learn something!

Ron did learn something! To ignore people who weren't important.

That's why he was opening the door to leave.

"I believe," Jean-Paul said, ostensibly to Tink, "that the point of a scheduled class time is not for the students to get up and walk out whenever they feel like it, do you not agree? And that students who think they are going to leave can think again."

And that would be Ron now walking through the door.

Yes. He's a stubborn cuss.

Oh, look, now there was a speedster standing in front of him, blocking his path. "Mr. Stinson the Third. You will sit back down now."

"Who?"

Tink pulled her wand out of her cleavage and began spelling letters in mid-air.

Detention?

Whatever his name was, it was a very bad way to spend a Saturday.

Ron groaned and went back to his seat.

And sulked.

He was good at that.

Warren wasn't going to waste his time by attempting to speak to the fairy and the pixie.

Instead, he was going to waste his time by perfecting his scowl at the fairy and the pixie.

Lee thought about going to sleep. That would portray boredom, right? Maybe that he was bored by them?

He tried that tact and faked sleep.

Oh, Liir was tops at dealing with this. Really, this whole class seemed to be an exercise in homesickness.

He didn't ignore them. He waited for a few minutes, considered his options carefully, and finally walked up to slip a small, half-slice of spiced chocolate brownie as well as a very small bottle of rum from his trip yesterday onto the front desk. He was well skilled at this particular tactic, and so they very well might completely ignore him and miss the offering until he was back at his desk.

Afterwards, he slipped right back and returned to his thoughts. After all, there wasn't anything wrong with just taking a little time out to think, now, was there?

And he would probably end up ignoring others just as a side-effect.

Tink noticed the brownie and bottle of rum, eying both with some measure of uncertainty. She didn't like the idea of eating anything that students gave them, especially after that canary nightmare that simply didn't happen.

Jean-Paul was welcome to take them, if he liked, but she was going to pass.

Jean-Paul, due to his somewhat unusual physiology, tended to avoid foods he didn't know the origin of. Particularly those involving chocolate, that devilish siren. He, too, opted to take a pass. Alas.

Aravis simply decided to find something better to do and completely tuned out both teachers, and pulled out a book to flip through.

That certainly communicated her feelings well.

Cimorene waited about five minutes for something to happen, and then pulled out a book and settled down to read.
