WHO: Oscar, Lawrence, and anyone who wants to join
WHERE: October 10th, on a bench outside the dorms
WHEN: Towards the end of the dinner period
WHY: Because he lives at school, too, and I need more threads. Who wouldn't want to ruin his dinner spend time with their principal?

( Autumn weather was already threatening to settle in. )

After a light dinner, Lawrence made his way outside. He had eaten quickly because he wanted to get out before anyone else was in the hallway heading to their evening destinations, and he wanted to return after everyone else had already gone back to their dorm rooms. In other words, he had wanted to be the first one out and the last one in. It was still relatively early. He had a good chunk of time to get through his novel before he was to be reprimanded for being out past curfew. Lawrence tried to keep up with the time but he always lost track of it when he was lost in his novels ( ... )

Oscar hadn't paid any attention to anyone walking by until the sudden woosh of hair right into his face. He frowned, but his reaction was slow and next to non-existant at first. He lowered his arms and looked up at the person who had walked by. Oh, a student was there and already annoying him. That was certainly new. Only not really. This one wasn't one of the usuals though... he made an effort to know all of the students at the school. It certainly wasn't a difficult task with the low number of students. The quiet ones would try to slip by unnoticed, but their names were never forgotten.

"Mr. Bright, do you need something from me?" The principal asked in a tone that was far from concerned, though certainly curious. He already knew the answer to the question as well, but with all of the staring, Lawrence was asking to be bothered.

Yay more awkwardness~ (also, sorry for the deleted post, posted in wrong place ^_^;) isolatedscholar June 11 2011, 04:15:16 UTC

"Mr. Bright"...? Lawrence thought. Who would call him that? Most of the people who knew him called him Lawrence... but--and then it hit him who this person was. At first, he just simply stared without a response to offer. He cleared his throat and tried to get some words out.

"P-Principal Ivors..." he stuttered, "Ah, well... you see, you were in the bench I usually... I mean... you were in my bench... no, wait, it's not MY bench but you were..." He stopped. This wasn't going anywhere. He calmed himself a few moments and tried again.

"You were occupying the bench I usually use to read, so I decided to use this one instead. That's all. I didn't mean to disturb you."

Getting to the student would be much easier than he first thought it would be. He had only said a sentence to him and already he was tripping over his words, stumbling and stuttering to correct himself. Oscar leaned back for a moment, giving the boy and thoughtful look and then nodding.

"You? Disturb me? Nonsense." Deep down there was certainly sarcasm to be found in his words, but he had always been talented at hiding that. "It's a good bench for reading, so I can't blame you," he pointed to the book in his lap with his chopsticks. "I was just reading a tragic tale about disappearing problem students. You know, the kind of students who fail tests and are nuisances to their instructors. The policeman in the story has yet to locate them." None of that was true, but oh well.
