American History, Period 2 02/19
The Danger Shop was back to its normal classroom configuration today, and the teachers were at the front, arms folded, possibly looking smug.
Thirty-six hours until Vegas, after all. And if other difficulties were getting to them ... well, they weren't going to think about that in the classroom.
"Our first order of business is an extra credit presentation from Mr. Stephanides, and then, midterm dioramas," Tyler announced, once the students seemed to have quieted. "If you've never made a diorama, they are three-dimensional models, often depicting buildings or historical events. And, this week, you're going to make them for any topic covered this far in class -- or anything you think we should have covered that we skipped over. Here is a handout showing how some fancy ones come together. Yours don't have to be fancy."
"We've got a table with things like bits of cardboard," Algren added, arms crossed over his chest, "empty shoeboxes, glue, safety scissors, and other assorted bric-a-brac for you to toss together. There's probably a plastic buffalo or two if you look hard enough. Please, try to refrain from gluing the popsicle sticks up your nose, as tempting as it might be. It just means paperwork for us if we have to take you to the clinic."
Tyler stopped at that to look at his co-teacher. He wasn't sure they were the demographic to glue popsicle sticks to themselves, but if warnings were being issued .... "And do not be a dumbass and run with scissors, either. We get a week off after this class is over. If you really want to spend some of it in the clinic, wait until after last period Friday."
He made a vague shooing gesture at the students. "Get to it. We're here if you sniff too many markers and pass out."
[OCDon the way up, have at it!]

That last was slightly wry.

Ino eyed him. "That's just revolting, you know. It wasn't even the weekend!"
Re: Talk To The TA [02/19]
Re: Talk To The TA [02/19]
"...Oh," she said, flushing a bit. "I don't think I knew you were one, actually? I figured you just hadn't bothered to go to bed yet. Um. Sorry?"
Re: Talk To The TA [02/19]
Especially when it seemed that his body was going through some sort of funk in its restlessness for pleasure. But he wasn't about to tell Ino about any of that.

Re: Talk To The TA [02/19]
Well. That's what Ino would figure anyway.
Re: Talk To The TA [02/19]
"Thanks, Mom."
Re: Talk To The TA [02/19]
"Does that mean I can ground you if you misbehave?" She would so totally try that.
Re: Talk To The TA [02/19]
Re: Talk To The TA [02/19]
"In general, um, I could probably get you for... back talk, refusal to listen to me, staying up late, sneaking out with girls, being mean to people, not taking care of yourself, not working while you're at work, not eating properly, um..."
A beat.
"Wow, I guess you're going to be grounded for, like, forever." She beamed sunnily at him.
Re: Talk To The TA [02/19]
The rest he really couldn't debate.
Re: Talk To The TA [02/19]
"...I guess, technically, you did inform me of Valentine's Day with Claire," she said reluctantly. "So I'll give you that. You haven't snuck out with girls yet."
Re: Talk To The TA [02/19]
Re: Talk To The TA [02/19]
"But you'd have to tell your mom when you're going out, don't you know? Otherwise you'll just wind up being grounded for not saying you'll be out late."
Re: Talk To The TA [02/19]
Because he would, and he would try to be terribly obnoxious about it.
