Office Hours (02/17/2006)

Jenny had several books open on her desk, and was typing out notes for next week's lectures into her laptop. She had a wooden box on the credenza to the side. That was filled with supplies of a slightly more occult nature for Xander's visit later today.

"Okay, then," said Jenny matter-of-factly. She'd been a teacher long enough to recognize the signs of teenage angst. And really? Only so much you could do without being pushy. "If you're sure you don't want to talk about it. Or that there's nothing wrong."

"Really, really sure." Xander glanced down and dusted totally un-glowy sand off his jeans. "Oh, is it safe to be sarcastic now, by the way?" he asked without looking back up. "Not that I've got anything to be sarcastic about/i> at the moment, but I wouldn't want to walk out the door, run into Angel, say something about his hair and have my head turn into a turnip."

"Totally and one hundred percent," said Jenny. "Safe to be sarcastic, that is."

"Oh, good. Wouldn't want this to utterly change my lifestyle or anything." Xander stood and flicked more sand from his sleeve. "I should probably go - I have--" Okay, nobody was gonna believe homework. Not on a Friday, and not from him, and definitely not Ms. Calendar. "--people to be sarcastic to."

"Okay, then," said Jenny. She gave a half-wave. "I'll see you in class next week, then."

"Yeah, see you Wednesday." Xander nodded and turned to leave.

It might mean something that he was too distracted to say thank you, but perfectly able to remember that there was no class on Monday. Or possibly it just meant he was a teenage boy, and days off from school are hard-coded into their heads, even when nothing else in there is functioning properly.
