Advanced Journalism (Tuesday, March 28 - 2nd period)

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

The board behind Rita had the following message on it:

Shorthand. On my desk.

John, would you like to be a jockstrap? Because it could be arranged. So shh.

Possibly a bit preemptive, but whatever.

Turn in the Assignment

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

Or handwavey. I know I will be. :)

Sit quietly in class omg.

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

Or, you know, don't. Because this is Advanced Journalism, and we all know that won't happen.

After Class

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

Because it will get used today. Yes. I know this for certain.

*handwaves as promised omg*

Rory turned in a shorthand that...really probably made little sense. But it worked for her, and it had worked for years. So Skeeter could just get over it.

After class, Rory approached Rita's desk, and took a deep breath.

"Professor Skeeter? I need to talk to you," she said quietly. "It's important."

Rita glanced up.

"Yes, Ms. Gilmore?"

Rory cleared her throat, and toyed with a quill on Rita's desk.

"I - "

Re: After Class

"Don't touch that," Rita said sharply.

Re: After Class

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory jerked her hand back. "Sorry, ma'am." She fidgeted with her hands. "Um. I wanted to ask you to please stop calling me...that name on the radio. Please. Or I'll have to talk to Principal Washburn."

Re: After Class

Rita actually glanced up at that.

"Of course," she said with an actual smile. "I'll stop if you like."

Re: After Class

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory blinked.

"That's all it took?"

"You never asked," Rita said. "Mr. Skywalker did, but as he isn't you, I didn't think he should be making your decisions and disregarded it. So I'll certainly stop now that you've asked."

Re: After Class

"You're a very strange woman," Rory said before she could stop herself, and blushed.

Re: After Class

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"And you're a very smart girl, so I have to wonder why you would say something like that right now."

Re: After Class

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Right," Rory said. "So, um. Thank you. I'll go now."

Chloe signs in.

Re: Turn in the Assignment

[mycanonhatesme]

Chloe turns in the *handwavied* modified shorthand she'd come up with in class last week.

Re: After Class

[imanaturalblond.livejournal.com]

"Good idea."

Re: After Class

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory fled the room in terror left quietly.

Re: Turn in the Assignment

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John turns in his shorthand. He'd come up with over the weekend and it wasn't half bad.

"Hi Professor," John says. "How're you?"
