This is going to end so well

Come to think of it, recently a lot of his students have been showing up to class injured. Whenever he asked how they got hurt, usually he got the same answer: the combat teacher. Now, being an ex-major, Armstrong knew a thing or two about combat. Injuries were prone to happen, sure, but that didn't mean people, especially students, should be pushed to the point of severe injury. That said...Armstrong held this school in high regard. As such, if they did not fault with this Miss...Shego's methods, then he would just keep his trap shut and put up with it...for now at least.

Alex, surprisingly enough, did not notice her sit down. It's not until she leans over the table and grabs his book that he is finally aware of her presence. Despite this, he doesn't yell or make any attempt to stop her, mostly because he figures she'll put it down eventually (hopefully with nothing new written in it).

...the meathead quip does hurt a bit, not that he'll show it. "Not much at the moment, I'm afraid. I have a class in a half hour, without a break until two hours later, so I figured it would be a wise decision to eat lunch now." okay, so far so good. He can totally be polite to her, no problem. "And my name is Armstrong. Alex Louis Armstrong."

Of course it will. She's a sweetheart. They're going to be BFFs

First things first, this is probably the only time in her entire life that Shego has ever held a grade book. Which is impressive, considering she's actually credentialed in this whole teaching thing. The higher ups usually end up receiving student evaluations through text, or written on the back of cocktail napkins in liquid eyeliner. Because she's a professional. Man, could this guy be anymore flowery? She's not even going to be surprised if she finds literal gold stars in this book of his.

"Whatever, spitcurl." With that little disrespectful remark, she moves herself further onto the table. There we go. Now she can sit with her legs crossed on top of the cafeteria table. She's a shining example to kids everywhere.

"I give you another month before you start living off poptarts and Jello shots."

There isn't a single doubt in my mind about that.

Well, it's good to know that she wouldn't be surprised about the gold stars, because they are in there. Because Armstrong radiates passion with everything he does, even boring things like grading. Plus, what's more passionate than GOLD STARS?! ...well, besides pink stars.

Ouch, another insult. It seems this is going to be a trend with this woman. As such, he better get used to it now, otherwise it's going to get under his skin eventually...

"Well, I AM fond of the strawberry ones..." he brings a finger to his chin, stroking it as if he was thinking. "I think I will pass on these Jello shots of yours, however. If anything, it will probably be protein shakes."
