Potions Lesson [Evans]

[grobanitexd]

Aaliyah Rose McKenzie did what she wanted to do and did not do what she refused. It was not to say that she was a brat or misbehaved, or wanted special attention. It was just that she was able to vocalize her feelings and had the bravery to carry out the actions she desired to carry out. And one of her feelings is her utter hate for potions class. It wasn't that it was boring or lame. There was nothing wrong with the teacher. It was just the potions themselves. Or more specifically, the ingredients.

That was why Aaliyah now had to come into the TA's office. Miss Evans gave her the offer of understanding the potions on her own time, away from the cauldrons and the ingredients. Aaliyah was quite greatful for the effort the teacher was putting in and vowed to get as much out of it as possible.

Opening the door to the TA offices, Aaliyah found where Miss Evans was. Wearing jeans, a black t-shirt, and her newly colored, pink hair in a braid, she carried her potions textbook and notebook. She looked ready for some learning. She made her way over ot where the TA's desk was. "Miss Evans. Are you here?" she asked as she came around the corner and to that desk.

[Professor Carina Erikson]

Okay, so she was running a bit behind today. Carina had meant to come up to the TA offices earlier, but just hadn't made it. Chello had to leave on very short notice and Carina had offered to take over her classes. She had also mentioned something about tutoring another student, but she hadn't told the professor what day that was on. It had been Carina's plan to check Chello's desk and see if she could find the lesson plan for the younger years and what student she was helping.

But now her day was over, so she finally climbed the stairs to the offices. She would stop in Chello's and then head to her own to grade papers. Arriving at the office, Carina followed a student with pink hair in. Carina couldn't help but to smirk, thinking of her own green streaked locks. It was always nice to see kids that didn't conform to the idea of a picture perfect kid.

As she headed over to Chello's desk, she saw that the girl had headed there as well. When she spoke, Carina cleared her throat and stepped up to speak. "I'm sorry, dear, but Miss Evans isn't here. She was called away for a family emergency. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Aaliyah looked up, her heart skipping a beat when she heard someone clear her throat. However, she smiled and took a breath to see the potion's professor standing next to her. But before Aaliyah could explain why she was here, Ms. Erikson explained that the TA was not here at the moment. The Mihael nodded, wondering vaguely what that emergancy was. But it was not her business to know.

"Oh, okay," she said, glancing at the desk which was empty. "Well, I was supossed to meet with Miss Evans for potions extra help." She was a little embarassed to mention to the professor that she was a complete failure in the subject and refused to actually touch the ingredients needed to make the potion. She would be taught by this professor next term and wanted to make a good first impression.

"But seeing as she's not available, perhaps I should just wait until she returns," Aaliyah decided, taking a step away from the desk.
