Journalistic Integrity (Wednesday, February 1 - 6th period)

Rita was distractedly reading a newspaper with moving photographs when the students filed in. She smiled at them over the top of it, and flipped the paper down, setting it on her desk.

Observant students might notice the singe marks or ashes on said desk.

"Today, we talk about actors. Musicians. Artists. People who specifically choose a career that puts them in the limelight. Is the press wrong for tailing these people? Wrong for finding out as much as possible about them and sharing with the public? They've put their lives up for grabs, after all."

Her smile widened. "Discuss."

"Necessitating the distance Ms Skeeter puts between them, in order to allow her some semblance of a normal life, despite the love they wish to share and treasure in peace and quiet." Krycek pursed his lips and looked rather sympathetic.

"Alex, would you like to talk to the class about this darling little Jake of yours?" Rita asked with a smirk.

"The course of true love never did run smooth Krycek," Callisto shook her head. "Obviously a jealous colleage threatened to out Professor Skeeter and Wilberta, precipitating her taking up this teaching positions."

Ignoring the mention of Jake, Krycek nodded, feigning concern. "Far, far away from those who knew her previously. A fresh start, as it were, but not taking a chance with it being found out again - so poor Wilberta finds herself languishing, waiting, loving from afar." He seemed entirely serious, really.

"I want to hear about Jake and Angel," Rita said.

"Jake and Angel aren't together, so there's nothing to say about them."

"Well, now there's an idea."

Rita smiled.

"So, if you don't want to talk about your boyfriends, that's very sad. How do you feel about each other, Alex, Callistie?"

"How do I feel about Krycek?" Callisto shrugged. "Kry is Kry, what more is there to say?"

"Aw. Pet names. How sweet."

"Yes, nicknames, people who are friends often have them for each other."

"Sure, nicknames, pillow talk, whatever."

Krycek nodded, looking unconcerned with the segue. "Is that what you would call it, Professor Skeeter? I was fairly sure that teacher/student relationships weren't allowed, though I guess you can carry a torch for whomever you like - I just hate to think how Wilberta would suffer. Don't you agree, 'Callistie'?"

"Indeed, 'Alex', not only aren't they allowed, they're unethical and kinda creepy."

"Those are your names. I was under the impression that teachers called their assistants what they chose." Rita smirked. "Didn't my predecessor call you 'filthy assistants'?"

"I wouldn't know, I never had the pleasure of TAing for Professor Jerusalem."

"He called us a lot of things, mostly because he was a vice-laden sociopath with little to no moral fibre. But if you want to align yourself with Professor Jerusalem, go right ahead, ma'am," Krycek said, smirking right back.

"I will," Rita said. "I'm not a nice person. I make little pretense for those who are smart enough."
