After School Blues [open]

[Faye]

Her heart sank a little as he said but at the end of his first sentence. She really wanted to stick around and get some 'private' tutoring from him. There was just something about his presence that made her want to stick around, like she felt with Isley only it felt more lustful.

However, his talk about the janitor again made her laugh, she felt relieved, feeling her shoulders relax as well as the rest of her body. She flicked a few purple locks off her shoulder so they fell down her back like the rest of her hair and also brush a few bangs out of her eyes, giving her blue eyes more exposure. "Why does he creep you out?" She asked as she thought about a place where they could meet again some time.

There were several places, they could meet back in here after school the next day or maybe they could meet in the library, a place in the town.... She settled for the library. "Maybe we could meet in the library?" Seemed innocent enough.

[tea]

Osaze set his red baseball cap back onto top of his head and then groped about his desk for his sunglasses. Oh, that's right, he had put them in his pocket earlier. His desk was so disorganized, he'd have to clean it up... Later.

He glanced back to back to Faye when she laughed at his bit about the janitor and smiled. He thought her laugh was cute. "Have you ever noticed that he carries a bunch of little dolls around in his cleaning cart? I think they're voodoo dolls. I saw them yesterday, and I swear some amongst them looks like the headmaster and a few other teachers." He said and almost shuddered at the thought of the janitor's dolls. "He saw me looking, so I offered him my last candy bar to stay on his good side... I really wanted that candy bar." He sighed and shook his head.

He started packing up the books and paperwork that he wood need tonight into his satchel that he kept beside his chair. "The library sounds perfect," he replied and cast a glance to clock on the wall. "I almost forgot, I have to go home and feed Mila.."

[Faye]

Osaze's talk about the janitor sent shivers all over her body, how creepy could he get now? What kind of idiot was the Headmaster for hiring him in the first place? And the voodoo dolls!? Oh no! She didn't want to walk back to her dormitory by herself now!

"That's so creepy..." She said, her voice a bit shaky from the thoughts that filled her mind. "I don't want to walk by myself now..." She continued, almost to herself and subtly hinting to Osaze that maybe he could walk her back to the lobby.

He then mentioned something named Mila, that sounded like a pretty name. "Mila? That your pet?"

[tea]

"Yes, she's my puppy. A Siberian Husky, real cute." He said with a fond smile on his face. He pulled his dark red cell phone out of his pants pocket, and dialed a few numbers before coming up with a picture of a fluffy, black puppy. He showed the picture to Faye. "She's about five months."

"I know. I don't want to be alone in class after sunset anymore," said the ancient Egyptian vampire man. He looked back to Faye slightly surprised and worried by the tone of her voice. Had he upset her by bringing up the creepy janitor? Now he felt bad... Since she was scared for her life now, he couldn't just leave her to brave the long, quiet halls of T'zenshin alone. "Don't worry, I'll walk you out. I was just leaving anyway."

He slung his satchel over his shoulder and then offered her his arm. "Shall we leave now, Madame?"

[Faye]

Faye let out a tiny squeal as she saw the puppy on her teacher's phone, oh it was so adorable~! She wanted to see it, and pet it, and play with it... Maybe steal it. She loved huskies the most out of all the breeds of dogs, they were just so fluffy and soft looking... She hated chihuahuas, too, they were annoying and she hated the people who bought them and dressed them up.

"Oh she's cuuuute~ could I see her... sometime?" She asked, forgetting about him being a teacher, he was her friend now, basically.

A soft pink blush came to her cheeks as he offered her his arm and said he would walk her out, she gingerly took his arm with both of hers, "Thank you, M.. Osaze" She nearly said mister! She reached into her bag and pulled out her pale yellow cell phone to check the time, it wasn't that late and she had plenty of time to do her homework... and have dinner.

[tea]

Osaze's eyebrows rose when he heard the tiny squeal that came from Faye's mouth. Adorable! She sort of reminded him of Mila! High-pitched and fluffy! "Sure, you can. I go out to walk her every Saturday afternoon. She'd love some more company besides me," he said. She wasn't suggesting that she go to his apartment, was she? That was.. Bold. But still innocent, since it seems she just wanted to see Mila. He wasn't going to think that much into it, though looks could be deceiving...

"No problem," he smiled and led them to the door. On the way out he turned off the lights and shut the door behind them.

[Faye]

Saturday afternoon... Hmm, it sounded like a nice time to take a dog out for a walk! Maybe she would catch up with them on their walk some time, she would love to see that cute little puppy for real and pet it lots, maybe play some games with it~~ Get closer with Osaze, too!

Woo~ Wait.

What was that last thought?

Getting closer with Osaze?

Isley. Isley. Isley. Isley.

Osaze is a teacher. Osaze is a teacher. Osaze is a teacher

She shook herself from the thoughts and continued holding onto Osaze's arm, "I'd love to accompany you two~ she looks so adorable~" She said with a warm smile, trying to distract herself from her weird and strange thoughts from before. "So, do you like teaching here so far?" She asked casually.

[tea]

Osaze smiled when Faye said she'd love to go to the park with him and Mila. "I wouldn't mind the company either." He said as they walked. How did he like being a teacher here? He had changed jobs multiple times in the past, but teaching was certainly something different. He really did enjoy the interaction part though. "I love it. I've always loved working with kids, too. It's so much better than constantly working cooped up in my apartment," he replied after a pause. Being O.S. Coupe was what he was referring to.

Hm, how should he go about asking this? It was best not to sound too curious. "I can tell just by looking. You're practically glowing. You must be going out with one lucky person, am I right?" He asked with a playful hint to his voice. That wasn't too forward, was it? At the school (college) he attended, the relationships between student and teacher that he had witnessed/experienced were pretty lax.. Perhaps he should have listened while the headmaster was telling him the rules. Hm..

[Faye]

One of the main things Faye didn't like were to be cooped up inside a small apartment or room or some sort with nothing to do, she liked to socialise with everything she saw basically, she often talked to the plants and trees, thanking them for shade or apologising if she accidentally bumped into them. "Yeah, I like to be outdoors, mostly," Or at least somewhere other than locked in a room.

Their footsteps were echoing in the corridors, the noises bouncing off the walls, they were the only people around it seemed, it made it seem even more.... dangerous? She giggled to herself.

But a blush painted her cheeks at his question, she quickly glanced down at the floor, avoiding eye contact with the English teacher. She swallowed, stuttering a little as she found her words, "Y-y.. yeah.. K-kinda," She wasn't sure what to say, even the slight hint towards Isley made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

[tea]

Osaze nodded in agreement to what Faye said. "So do I, I can't understand the people who can stay inside all day." He actually had a few friends who were just that type, and would be the one to drag them out of their rooms for some sunlight when they were free. It was ironic. Him, a vampire, dragging his human companions out for fun in the sun. He chuckled a little at the thought.

He glanced over to Faye questionably when he heard her soft giggling. What was she laughing at? And randomly, too. What a strange girl she was.

He raised his eyebrows when the girl began to blush and stutter at his question. Aw, it was so nice and refreshing to be young! It was probably a first love, too! He grinned a little. "Oh yeah? 'Kinda?' What's his name? How long have you been kinda going out?" He went on to ask teasingly.

[Faye]

Faye nodded, those sorts of people were weird, deathly pale and very anti-social. However, if something fun was happening she didn't mind being inside so much but she would prefer if she was outside in the warm air. "Yeah,"

Osaze then kept pressing on with questions, she didn't mind, she did mind that her cheeks kept getting redder and redder, she was sure her head looked like an over-sized tomato now. She slowly glanced up at Osaze, "U-um... His name is... Isley and we've been... dating for a few weeks now," Wow, it didn't seem so long in her mind until she thought about it.

[tea]

Osaze laughed a little when Faye became even more flushed question after question. At the risk of sounding like an old man, youth was truly great. He wondered if he'd feel that way about someone again... He smiled cheerily at Faye when she glanced up at him. "You must like this Isley a lot. Is he treating you well?"

[Faye]

Treating her well...? Well, yes, he was, but... she had an odd feeling about something. She shrugged it off, putting on a warm smile, trying to swallow her flustered self. She tried her best to act as calm as she could about it, Osaze seemed to be able to do it well, so she'd try to.

"He is~ he's really nice," Even if he did play with her mind sometimes, he knew her gullible nature and how much she worried about things but... maybe he just did that to everyone? "Does Osaze have a special someone~?" She asked teasingly, a slightly flirtatious smile on her face, which was unintentional.

[tea]

Osaze blinked and returned Faye's flirtatious smile with one of his own. "Wouldn't you like to know, huh?" He responded playfully. It felt like he should give her some advice for her boyfriend or something, since he was a wise adult and all, but Osaze couldn't think of any wisdom that wouldn't sound cheesy at the moment.

"But seriously, no. I'm alone, I left my 'special someone' in France a while ago," he replied casually with a shrug. His previous girlfriend was a lovely waitress by the name of Amelie who he had met while grocery shopping.

[Faye]

Faye was feeling excited to know about Osaze's love life~ but at the same time she prayed that he was a single, free man and she wasn't sure why. She wasn't liking it, either, she was with Isley and Osaze was making her slowly forget about him...

"Aww... that's sad, but, what was she like~?" She asked, curiously, but her expression fell, "If you don't mind me asking, I don't want to seem nosy or anything..." Though she probably was at the moment with that sort of questions, she just didn't want Osaze to find her rude.

She continued holding his arm as they walked, her hands gently rested on the material of his shirt, she brought one thin hand to flick the purple locks from her eyes.
