Sam Goode | The Lorien Legacies | newbie newberson poking around

[goodebyes]

[As always, Sam is That Freak who sits around in her dad's old shirts, reading alien conspiracy rags instead of socializing like a real girl. And wearing her dad's glasses, which are not only wholly unnecessary but are giving her a headache.

She's kind of a fuck-up.

It's kind of hard to find privacy, though, so while she tries to find a nice, quiet corner on the grounds to herself, that's... not really gonna happen.]

[willyouwalk]

[And there is a battered brown tabby cat suddenly staring at her from on top of a table where there wasn't a minute ago. Tybalt is better than a guard dog, really. The perks of shadow-travel]

[goodebyes]

[Well. That's... unsettling. Sam jumps a little before shoving her conspiracy rag into her bag. Best not to give anyone more material to mock her with.] What do you want?

[She's assuming he's another student, and not just a kitty that wandered by. It's win/win, really, since that cat's definitely not going to care about her talking to it if it really is just a cat.]

[willyouwalk]

[Going from cat to man is seamless, and no soon did Sam speak did Tybalt shift. His hair is still tabby, though, and he's got cat eyes.

He's also obviously a teacher]

To know why a student is so far away from the rest of them.

[goodebyes]

[Damn. Sam straightens up and puts on her talking-to-teachers face. You know, the polite, I-am-a-model-student one.] I just needed some quiet, I guess.

[All the time, apparently. Sam hasn't been fitting into the student body very well. To be fair, many of her classmates have difficulty adjusting, but there's a better sense of camaraderie for most. This is where 'their' group is, the others like them. Sam, on the other hand... shies away from it.]

[willyouwalk]

You have a dorm room, or the library. Those are a little less suspicious than out here.

[goodebyes]

What's so suspicious about being outside?

[willyouwalk]

Nothing at all, if you don't purposely find a place far away from everyone else. We've had too many people sneak in for us not to be cautious, you see. Nothing personal.

[goodebyes]

I'll be on the lookout for them, then.

[willyouwalk]

[Tybalt nods]

So, what exactly were you reading that you were so eager to hide from me?

[goodebyes]

It's personal.

[willyouwalk]

...do you really expect that answer to work? Hand it over.

[goodebyes]

No.

[Oh, sorry, did he think that would work? She may have a history of being bullied, but that doesn't mean she's completely meek. She stands and hugs her bag to her chest.] I'm not reading it in the middle of your class. You have no right to ask me to give you my property just because you think I'm required to be surrounded by people 24/7 and never see natural daylight.

[willyouwalk]

I never said that.

[Tybalt straightens. He's 6 foot and built like a dancer or a fighter. He's both.]

However, if I have reason to suspect you have something you aren't supposed to have, as a teacher I can request you hand it over. Now hand it over.

[goodebyes]

[She'll take her lumps like a champ.] What reasonable suspicion do you have that this is something I'm not supposed to have?

[willyouwalk]

You shoved it into your bag before I shifted. You are refusing to give it to me. If it's not against the rules, why are you so keen on hiding it?

[goodebyes]

It's something very personal to me. There's no rule against not wanting everyone to know everything about me.

I am sorry he is such a jerk XD

[willyouwalk]

No, but there is a rule about disobeying a teacher. Hand it over or we'll be getting to know each other very well in detention. If it's harmless and really as personal as you say it is, I'll return it.

It's okay~ Sam is uniquely equipped to deal with bullies. ALL HER LIFE SHE HAS TRAINED FOR THIS.

[goodebyes]

And I'm sure there's also rules against teachers abusing their authority.

[:|

She'd like to call a friend, thank you.]

HE'S JUST DOING HIS JOB

[willyouwalk]

There are, but I'm not. You're hiding something. I'm suspicious. Your behavior is making it worse for yourself. Hand the magazine over. I won't ask again. If there were a normal high school, you'd've already been arrested by the campus police for refusing a search.

[At least, the one he went to would have had her arrested. It was an...interesting school]

I'm just promising detention.

UH-HUH. SAM IS NOT IMPRESSED.

[goodebyes]

[...Nope. She's not budging.] I'm appealing to a higher authority.

XD

[willyouwalk]

The higher authorities are Summers and three psychics. Summers won't take your lip. Two days detention with me in the dance studio.

[goodebyes]

Still appealing.

[willyouwalk]

Have it your way then. Do I need to drag you to them or can I trust you to go on your own?

[goodebyes]

I'll go on my own.
