Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part I

[bigdamnprincipal]

When the planning for the new semester had started, no one had really noticed that the welcome picnic would coincide with Cinco de Mayo. When the food arrived and all of it, including the desserts, had somehow ended up as a variety of Mexican food, well, it was a little too late to change anything.

Hopefully, the wandering mariachi band that had shown up wouldn't throw anyone either. It was a festive day of new arrivals, after all.

The blue and gold tables and chairs had been set out, along with nametags and the lists of Big and Little Siblings, and rooms and roommates for the new students. Assuming the shuttle arrived with all of the students and teachers in one piece, everything was set for the picnic to begin!

[OCD is up, have at it! This is part one of the picnic, specifically for meeting siblings, roommates, and teachers. The rest of the picnic is happening here and here, in an effort to keep browsers from breaking for as long as possible. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

This was giving Angela a serious case of deja-vu. Literally, nothing had changed.

Except the part where she was a teacher now, and gleefully excited about that, and cheerily mingling with her drink looking for people she knew, people she didn't and everyone in between.

"Do I know you?" Jaye asked.

Because she sort of remembered her teaching buddy's name, and she sort of looked familiar.

"Oh, yes." In a passing sort of way. Given the only strong memory she had was from one of those weekends, maybe it was best not mentioned. "I was a student here a couple of years ago."

"Angela," she offered. "You've got to be Jaye, right?"

"I would. Which makes me your teaching buddy." She paused. "I'm so sorry for that."

No she wasn't. Still thought it was hilarious.

Not a super auspicious opening. "Do I want to ask why?"

It was likely the answer to that was no, wasn't it? Really no.

"I taught movie day last semester." That should probably give some insight as to what kind of teacher Jaye was.

Angela grinned, "I'm teaching Art Therapy. It'll probably involve having them all throw paint at each other at some point."

It wasn't the most highbrow of classes to go with either.

"...Okay we're going to get along," Jaye decided. "And I sort of want my 'photography' class to take pictures of the aftermath."

They were totally going to get along.

"The more photographic evidence there is of that kind of thing, the happier I am," Angela told her, grin spreading.

"Do they get extra credit for being the one person who isn't crazy on any given weekend and documents it for the rest of time?"

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2012-1]

"Yep," she said proudly. "Really, I just want to make sure there's someone around to capture the weirdness at all times so I don't have to."

Re: Meet Your Teachers [Summer 2012-1]

"And if it's you they capture on film?" Out of curiosity, that was all.

"Eternal detention." Naturally.

"Ooh, good move." She needed to remember that. "See you're helping me out with these ideas already."

Chances were, Angela would actually give no detentions ever. Because she was a softy.
