Professor Chaucer's Office Hours, Monday

[geoff-chaucer.livejournal.com]

Chaucer is in his office until fifth period. Dr. House's dog is curled up asleep on the couch, so please don't sit on him. Geoff himself seems to be writing a letter, and occasionally staring out the window.

And she closes her eyes for just a moment as he calls her 'lady Paige' and she remembers, but she knows doing that is just going to make it worse. So she opens them again aware they're teary, but unable to do much about it.

And yet there's a smile as she looks up at him, "never stop hoping," she repeats and she knows he's right, cos hey she's witch, even when things seems bleakest she should in theory beable to do something to make it better, maybe not yet, but when she's older, more powerful and that thought really does make her happy, for a moment at least.

((there's a witch whimpering in my head, that's not good is it?))

Geoff returns the smile and nods. "You'll be just fine, Paige. You've always been a lot stronger than people want to give you credit for."


[ooc: Mm...noooo, probably not. *hugs*]

She swallows hard, but can't look him in eyes right now.

"Yeah I know, it's nice you believe that too though."

((*hugs back* she seems to have quietened down now, but I'm writing emo fic, so she may start up again *is evil*))

"Paige, the only person who has to believe it is you." He shrugs one shoulder and smiles. "But...I know, it is reassuring to know that others think well of you. Everyone needs that. So don't have any doubt, Paige, that I do believe you'll be just fine."

Paige is totally unsure that she'll be fine actually, she just hopes her sisters will be there to help her out (poor, poor empathic Phoebe)

But she nods, to show she believes it too, it's easier to lie without words isn't it? Especially to a poet.

"I-I should go, I have class soon and well I should probably go freshen up first." she tells him, cos she'd really rather tha whole of her language class not know she's spent the best of fifty minutes crying on and off.

Geoff nods as well. "I'll talk to you later in the week. Thursday, I think." He nods again and takes a deep breath. "I think it'll be Thursday."

Luckily her back is turned to him so he can't see that yet again she's crying.

"O-okay," she says, her voice cracking as she walks away as steadily as she can, unfortunately all the wants to do it run to the girl's bathroom and lock herself in a stall, well she is a 16 year old girl!
