Bad Ass Bitch Life Lessons; Wednesday, First Period [03/25].

[died8yearsago]

Rosa was not going to talk about how she just didn't show up for class last week. If anyone asked, Rosa still wasn't going to say anything about it, besides just staring at whoever asked and asking 'what class'?

She was going to get right into it this week, though. "Alright," she said, flicking the button on the projector, "let's see what nugget of wisdom we're working with this week."

When you're feeling stressed out,
it helps to make a nice hot cup of tea
and spill it on the lap of whoever's bugging you.

"Heh."

Oh, there was a lot of experience packed into that one little sound. Could that even have been a smile on Rosa's face?

"Okay," she said, turning to the class, "this one's actually good. Legit advice right there, but I guess even a broken clock is right twice a day, right? So. Let's talk stress relief. If you've never actually poured a cup of hot tea into an annoying person's lap before, I highly recommend it. It's very cathartic, and it's a easy to make it look like an accident, too."

Rosa never made it look like an accident.

"It is a pain to clean up, though," she added, "and can sometimes be a waste of perfectly good tea, and then sometimes HR gets involved or they insist you owe them for medical bills, even though it's just a second degree burn, suck it up, princess. But it, like punching, unfortunately, sometimes isn't always an option. So let's consider and discuss or whatever, since this is technically supposed to be a 'class'....what are some other bad ass ways of relieving a little stress, especially when dealing with an annoying coworker or classmate or sibling or parent or..."

She trailed off a little, as she realized that this list could have gone on and on and on...

And Nina put on a pretense of struggling to understand him, hemming and hawing, and mouthing the words.

"Sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she said, sounding contrite. "I don't get it???????????????????????????????????"

That squint turned into a certified glare, a low growl emitting from deep in Wayne's chest.

"Birthday, Nina!" he stated in a near-shout. "Did you know it?"

Really, she had known it, but yelling at Nina was basically never going to get a straight answer out of her.

"I think you're being very rude right now," Nina said cheerfully, in Ryl, which she knew Wayne had no possible way of knowing. Now, Sidon on the other hand... "And I have absolutely no intentions of telling you what I have planned for your birthday."

One more prolonged glare-and-growl, and Wayne, arms folded in front of him stubbornly, turned his head.

"Well," he said. Loudly. "Of yer just gonna be spare parts, Nina, I guess I'll have to save my thanks for someone else."

Re: Discussion - BABLL, 03/25.

"No, you'll save your thanks for much later this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she said, still in Ryl.

And, for good measure, she stuck her tongue out at him.

Then grinned over at Detective Diaz.

Well, since there was no point in arguing with spare parts, Wayne was just going to have to give Nina one last squinty glare in return for that stuck-out tongue (and the grin at the teacher that followed it, too!), and settle back in his chair (marginally) to glower a bit (not sulk!) and figgur that if that was going to be the way she was going to be, then even if she did tell Shuri about his birthday, then she didn't need to thanks he was going to give her for it since it'd actually wound up being one of the best birthdays he'd ever had, just standing around with cupcakes and speculating about future rhinoceros ranches with his pert'near perfect girlfriend.

Okay, well, truth be told, he still did want to thank her if she was the one to tell Shuri, because it was just polite and the right things to do, but not if she was going to be like that! But now it was going to be like a stray hair in his asscrack all day...
