Classic American Film, Thursday, Period 4

Ziva wasn't sure what she'd been thinking when she'd agreed to teach this class, except maybe that it might be fun to teach something new. Deep down, she wondered if it was possible that she was missing Tony, but that was just a crazy thought.

Once the students had gathered in the classroom, Ziva leaned up against the desk and smiled at them. This was a nice, big group, and she had a good feeling about that. Of course, she had good feelings about small groups too, but still. "Good afternoon, and welcome to the classic American film class," she said. Anyone who was familiar with the U.S. might notice that Ziva didn't exactly sound American, being from Israel and all, but maybe no one would say anything.

"I am Ms. David, and I see many unfamiliar faces," she continued, "so I would like to take our time today to get to know your names and a little bit about where you are coming from and why you are here, whether you are a fan of movies, or you would like to learn more about this strange country in which you've ended up, or whatever else was your reasoning. Also, I have not chosen any assistants for this class, so if you would like to volunteer, come and talk to me after class. Now, let us get started."

Quinn smiled poisonously, leaned toward Madame Eyeroller, and sweetly whispered: "Jealous?"

Oh. This should be interesting.

"Oh, yes," George said darkly. "I wish I could wear a short skirt and bounce around like I have a room temperature IQ. Sign me up for that."

"It's amazing," Quinn observed in an icy voice, "how it's always the people who seem like they have no idea how to work hard at anything who want to tell me I'm dumb. I'm on the honor roll, so you know."

Granted, she went to a school that turned out students who thought the square root of pi was rainbows, so that might not have been saying much.

Ouch. Right. So the slacker thing was fairly obvious. Score one for meta for Barbie.

"I didn't," George shrugged, "nor do I care. But then, I don't desperately care what other people think about me. It's probably why I was never popular."

... yes. That was probably the reason. And not her winning charm.

Or the way she said 'popular' like it was a communicable disease.

Quinn shook her head. People like slacker chick here were morons. Hadn't they figured out how things worked? Didn't they know that being popular was like a free pass to skip class, stay out late, and say practically whatever you wanted to practically whoever you wanted, all consequence-free?

On the other hand, they were less annoying than the ones who tried too hard.

"Our loss," she said sarcastically. "Really."
