63: A Desolate Classroom
The next morning, Nyssa and Celeste ended up arriving at the classroom first—as per usual. Even after talking late into the night to sort out the “are we dating now?” awkwardness, they seed to have fared better than their fellow Class Zero compatriots.
Angelica ended up being the next to arrive. Scanning the empty room with a disapproving click of the tongue, she thanked Nyssa and Celeste for arriving on ti before retreating to her desk and filing away a couple papers. Once her desk had been cleaned from any unnecessary docunts, she laid out the reports she had gathered. One by one, she stacked the docunts in the order they’d show up in for her upcoming presentation.
As she organized though, her ears picked up the quiet conversation transpiring between Nyssa and Celeste. Unbeknownst to them, she snuck a quick glance and saw their hands intertwined under their desks.
... I see how it is. Impressive how fast they got it done. Knowing them, I expected to wait another couple years before seeing any real developnt.
Interesting though... I’ll have to update my plans. I’m sure they’ll fight with just a little more chemistry now.
Her train of thoughts though, ca grinding to a halt as the door got flung open, sliding and slamming against its doorstop. In walked the classic trio—Albion, Titus, and Conrad—who, with their eye bags, yawns, and energy drinks, showed clear signs of sleep deprivation.
Angelica, after a quick glance, sighed to herself. At least the regret towards their actions is already clear in their eyes.
Pausing her work, she checked her watch, glanced towards the three, and shook her head while tapping her watch. “Three minutes late, please try and be on ti in the future, especially if I’m doing a presentation like today.”
The voices of the three overlapped as they all did their own version of a lazy salute. “Yes, Angelica.” “Sounds good.” “We’ll be more mindful of the ti in the future.”
“Good,” Angelica returned to her work. She pulled out a laptop as the classroom began coming alive with morning conversation. While she connected her laptop to the screen to display her presentation, she couldn’t help but break into a small smile as the five Class Zero students chatted about their escapades from the previous night.
Not that the trio is going to notice the change between Nyssa and Celeste though... They were already quite affectionate, after all.
She, herself, stayed quiet though. Once she got the screen to display the title slide, she returned to her seat and leaned back before pulling out her phone. Letting the five talk, laugh, and banter away while they waited for the two fourth-years, she sent a few quick text ssages to Roxanne.
[Good morning dear]
[Hope you’re not tiring yourself out over there]
[Love you as always
