The library [Thursday, May 14]

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

After the totes horrible fashion class (she was not blinding, thank you very much. She was quirky. Crazy old bat.), Claudia stomped into the library (no easy task in the turquoise stilettos she was rocking) and slumped behind the desk, where she planned to spend the day doodling terrible things dropping onto Ms. Mode's head.

Ha! That'll show her.

The library was open.

[OOC: And Claudia lost the OCD. It's probably under her pillow with a pound of Twizzlers and some pretzels.]

Shilo had decided to wander around the school between her fashion and storytelling classes... and she was now completely lost.

She found an open door and entered, and saw Claudia. "Hi!" she called. She might have sounded quite relieved.

"Shilo!" Claudia said. "Hi!"

"I saw you in superhero fashion, but I didn't get the chance to say hi." Shilo walked over to the desk and set her bag down at her feet. "That Miss Mode, she's something else, huh?"

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Something mean," Claudia pouted, "but at least the materials were fun to play with."

"I was surprised she liked my superhero name, since she did seem kind of... grumpy," Shilo admitted. "I think it's going to be an interesting class. Not my favorite. But interesting."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"What's your superhero name?" Claudia asked interestedly.

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

"Future Imp. It's short for Future Imperfect." Shilo's cheeks went a little pink. "I thought it was dumb, but apparently the reason I gave made her like it."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Better than War Crimes," Claudia whined.

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I heard that," Shilo replied. "That was really harsh."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"I'm totally not answering to it," Claudia said. "What's she going to do? Give me detention?"

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

"I can't blame you," Shilo replied. "Have you ever had detention before?"

Home-schooling resulted more in getting sent to her room and/or grounding when she acted out. Detentions were something new.

Claudia nodded. "Couple of times, mostly because the principal at my old school was, like, obsessed with the dress code."

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

"I see." Shilo could understand that. She liked the fact that Claudia was so into her particular brand of fashion. "Any here, though?"

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Claudia said with a grin. "There was a thing in a class where we were supposed to get wet and I was wearing this really cute shirt and I didn't want to ruin it. So I told the professor I was having my period and couldn't exercise. I think it broke his brain."

Blink. Blink blink. Bodily functions of others + one Shilo Wallace = lots of awkward discomfort.

"That is definitely one way of getting out of something," Shilo eventually replied. "Did you have to do anything, like writing lines or cleaning chalkboards?"

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"I had to help clean a pool over at one of the apartment complexes in town," Claudia replied. "It was weird."

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

Off-campus community work? Shilo guessed she could deal with that. "It doesn't sound too bad, though."

After all, Shilo was still identifying glitter-rain as "weird".

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"I know, right?" Claudia agreed. "Besides, the teacher who was running it was totally cute."

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

Shilo let out a nervous giggle. "Well, if he was always the one in charge of detention, then I'm sure the girls would be more than willing to get in trouble."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Omigod, there are so many cute teachers here," Claudia said, bouncing a little in her chair. "Not the one we had today, obviously, but other ones!"

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

"I guess. I've only had one male teacher, and he was okay for an older guy, but I have another one this afternoon." As far as she was concerned, Shilo was more interested in the male students.

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

And Claudia just liked guys. Period. She hadn't been thirteen and throwing herself at a 22-year-teacher like some of her friends, Stacey, but she was still going to be a little boy-crazy.

"Ooh, who?"

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

"Well, Dr. Jones was the first one. He was kind of grumpy." Maybe he wouldn't have been if she hadn't been pestering him about his "real" name, but that was six of one and a half dozen of the other. "The other one is Tim Desmond, the storytelling teacher."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I know Doctor Jones!" Claudia said. "He runs the library. He let me borrow his jacket once. Totally old guy cute."

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

"I guess so," Shilo replied. "He seems kind of... gruff though." As though the males she'd known in her time had been some kinds of pinnacles of masculine perfection. Riiiiiight.
