Fifth Floor Common Room - Monday Evening

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

Kyle wasn't in the best mood, but he'd been in plenty of worse moods. Hiccup and Toothless had left all of a sudden, leaving only a note behind. Marcus was still a raccoon. He hadn't seen much of anyone else lately and with so little to do, the restlessness was building up. The noise of the TV helped, so he had that on in the background while he slowly wrote a letter to his brother. He didn't know whether it would get there, but he felt like testing the limits of the Fandom postal service. The prospect of more people leaving this week didn't make him happy either, but he'd accepted it and was focusing on next semester. He liked the normal school year better than summer and was looking forward to getting stuck into keeping himself busy.

"Maybe you're not trying hard enough," he pointed out.

"And all this time I'd been trying to stay off people's nerves. Are you telling me I've like been going about it wrong?" Yes she was kidding. She liked being off people's nerves unless they deserved it. Or she didn't like them.

"You've been flying under the radar. I don't know if that counts as going about it wrong, but it's pretty sneaky."

"I did have a class on that this summer. Think this would get me extra credit?" She wasn't entirely joking. Nerd.

"You should try asking Professor Skywalker," Kyle said. He was entirely joking because he could imagine the look on the guy's face.

"I did pretty good in that class, it might work." She paused. "Or he'll get that frown and not say anything and I think I'm just going to skip asking him?"

"And he'll fold his arms the way he does that makes his shoulders look huge." Yeah, they both knew how he'd react.

Kitty shuddered. "I might have nightmares tonight."

"Maybe you shouldn't ask for extra credit."

"Yeah, I'm good enough with that grade. Ugh, I'm stuck with the image in my head now. Make it stop," she pleaded.

"You mean you don't want to think about Professor Skywalker's shoulders?"

[notavalleygirl.livejournal.com]

"That, and the glare. Mostly the glare," she replied. "Really, the glare."

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"The glare scares you?"

"It just makes me feel like I've done something wrong or something?" she explained. "Like I need to march myself into detention right now. And I don't like detention."

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"Have you even ever been in detention," Kyle asked skeptically.

[notavalleygirl.livejournal.com]

"Once. See, it's like more than enough to know I don't like it," she said.

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"Here? Was it here, I mean."

[notavalleygirl.livejournal.com]

"No. I haven't heard anything about detention here," she admitted. "I'm hoping it's like an urban legend and doesn't exist."

"I had to build a swing set for the Vice Principal as punishment once."

[notavalleygirl.livejournal.com]

Kitty frowned. "Well, that's random."

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"Have you seen the Vice Principal?"
