Self-Expression- Monday- 4th period

It was the first day after vacation and Kitty was in a bad mood? Awesome. Luckily she wasn't the type to take it out on her students.

Except for the public speaking. Which she'd have given them even if she was in a good mood.

"Welcome back to class. Hopefully everyone's relaxed enough by now to put any potential nervousness aside," Kitty greeted them. "Obviously, if you want to express yourself, get your points and ideas across, talking's the best way to do it. And it's not always easy, but there are always going to be times you either have to do it or sit down and shut up, and that gets you absolutely nowhere. For next week I want you to give a speech. It shouldn't be any longer than five minutes because we don't have all day and there are a few of you, but otherwise it can be as long as you need to get what you want to say out. I want it to be about something you feel strongly about, whether it's something that's going on in your own time or world, a cause you're into, or something like you being mad at the Oscar results. I don't care about the subject, as long as you sell it to us.

"I'm going to give you the rest of class to work on it," she continued. "Whether it's brainstorming topics or starting to write it, or getting help if you need it, go ahead and get to work."

Jim wasn't really in a speech giving mood or any kind of good mood. It was probably going to be reflected in what he gave a speech about so that was fun.

Karina didn't really have any idea what to write for a speech. There were plenty of things she felt strongly about but actually getting up and just ranting about them for five minutes didn't really appeal to her.

She doodled on the edge of her paper, writing down an idea every now and then, but mostly just thinking about it rather than writing.

Cosette rested her chin on her hands and stared off across the room, frowning hard in thought. What to write a speech about? What did she feel strongly enough about to talk about for several minutes (that didn't have to do with how she wished her father wouldn't insist on living the most spartan life possible for no apparent reason, because even if it frustrated her she wasn't about to complain about him)?

This was going to be difficult.

The last time Cecil had had to talk, he'd talked about how rotten being cold was. It still was rotten, but he hated to repeat himself.

He was probably a bit too old for "What I did on my Spring Break vacation", wasn't he?

During class, a delivery arrived for Kitty. Attached was a note that said,

Something pretty, as requested. I love you, and I really am sorry.
Love, Clint

Clint grinned when he got the message, glad to at least be getting something right.

Glad they got there okay. You're the best for dealing with me.

Now Clint was in an even better mood.

Absolutely. I'll be there whenever you want me.

...Pretend time travel was not going to become a problem in her future.

Okay, and past, technically.


I just snarfed tea. Thanks. :D
