Ms. Lisa Burke walked into the office holding her bookbag. She took a deep breath and prepared for what would be her first teaching job. She went up to the secretary's desk and asked politely, "Hello, I'm Ms. Burke. Do you think you could escort me to me desk please?" "Sure thing miss, right in here. By the way, welcome on staff." the secratary said kindly. Lisa placed her stuff in her what she would call fancy, office. Then Lisa sat down in her big spinning chair and waited till 4th period.

Seth walked past her office on his way to refill his mug with some more coffee, but stopped when he saw Lisa setting in the usually empty chair behind the desk, simply staring at her through the window for a moment before stepping forward and knocking it to get her attention. He waited for her to look before smiling and pointing to his coffee mug before signalling that he'd just be a minute and walking off down the hall.
Seth returned about seven minutes later, this time with two coffee mugs, having refilled his own and brought another for her, and the containers of sugar and creamer. He didn't knock before entering the office - she was expecting him now . . . and if not, she should have been. He walked over to her desk, setting her coffee mug along with the creamer and sugar on her desk. "Didn't know what you liked, so I brought it all," he said.

"Thank you very much Mr. ......." she looked at him not knowing exactly what to call him. They were after all fellow teachers. She looked at the array of coffee parapharnalia and put some creamer and a sugar packet into the mug. As she stirred it she looked at this man, grateful she took this job, and that there were some decent men around here.

"Seth Dalziel," Seth finished for her, glancing around for a chair before pulling it over to her desk and taking a seat in it. He smiled to himself slightly as he studied her for a moment. "And you'd be . . .?"

"Lisa Burke, science teacher extraordinaire. Hahaha, I'm just kidding. I'm sure I'm not that extraordinary." she held her hand ut to shake Mr. Dalziel's and looked down nervously before sitting back in her swivel chair. "So what do you teach?"

Seth smiled slightly as he shook her hand, laughing slightly at the joke. "Social studies," he answered. "More specifically government, history, and philosophy . . . not as cool, I'm sure, as getting to blow things up in the lab all the time," he joked.

"I love history! science is very cool because you also get to teach a lot of history too. Not stuff as interesting as wars or Ancient Greece though." she smiled and twisted her mug in her hands.

Seth laughed, "Well . . . I'd agree with that, but then again; it's my subject," he said and winked at her, taking a sip of coffee from his own mug.

Lisa smiled and thought to herself about how Seth taught. I bet he's a lot of fun in the classroom. "How long have you been teaching here....this obviously is my first year."

"It's my first year here too," Seth answered. "I taught in inner city Chicago . . . but the school had to make cuts and I hadn't been there long enough to keep my job."

"Aw that must stink...do you have family in Chicago?" Lisa didn't know if she was on the borderline of being nosy or just friendly.

Seth shook his head slightly, "No," he said. "They're all in North Carolina . . . though it's good to know that I don't come across as some redneck."

Lisa chuckled and started to gather papers together for her first class. She galnced at her watch and said, "Well, I better head to biology...I'll chat at you later Mr. Dalziel." she winked at him, and carried her coffee mug with her.
((btw, do you think you or whisper could make some science classes? Maybe physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and physical science))

((Yep, I'll do that after church))
"Seth," Seth corrected as she left, smiling slightly to himself as he watched her go before standing and moving the chair he'd been sitting in back to it's original place and picking up everything he'd brought along, walking out of the office to return the things to the teacher's lounge.
