Self Proclaimed Queen of RPNation
~Professor Giovia Eriwind~
Geovia listened closely to all of Veronica's symptoms as she listed them, taking the girl's hand as she spoke. Indeed, Veronica's hand was shaking uncontrollably. It was almost...vibrating. Of course, Geovia had seen this sort of violent shaking before.
"Shaking...and a paing in the chest...magical, you say?" Geovia murmured, placing two fingers on the girl's wrist as if to check her pulse. Of course, the teacher was well aware of Veronica's situation and that her veins didn't actually pump blood. Her eyebrows knit together as she worked her fingers up Veronica's arm.
"This is strange. I will call Liam and tell him you won't be in History today, I'd think I'd better have a closer look at you...for now, let's go back in the classroom, okay? After the children leave, I'll take you to my office." Geovia said, whipping out a fairly new looking touch phone from the small bag that hung at her side.
Quickly dialing a number, she pressed the phone to her ear. After a few tones, she was answered.
"Hello, Liam. I'm calling about one of your students...her name is Veronica. I agree, she is a very bright girl. Listen, she's not feeling well so after class I'm going to look at her--Liam, don't yell so loud! It's fine, she'll be in class tomorrow. Will you excuse her? Yes...okay, thank you. Okay. Alright. Bye--yes Liam, I'm sure. Bye."
Hanging up the phone, she sighed, "Geez, that man can talk."
Poking her head back in the room just in time to hear the final part of Johnathon's speech, Giovia flinched. She shot a nasty look at him, and then said, "Nichole, how about you go next?"
~Lyra~
After Lyra had taken her seat, she was excited to watch other introductions. Aleksander's was nice and smooth, though she was extremely disappointing to learn that his last name was Denucio, not DiCaprio. That didn't matter, even if he wasn't related to her favorite actor from Titanic, he still had IT! She listened intently as he talked about himself...so charasmatic! This, of course, made Lyra want him even more for her drama club. She could see the whole thing now: Aleksander swooping in, rescuing his beloved Valentina and her two adorable sisters, Calista and Leona...it was perfect!
Once Aleksander finished, she was absolutely ecstatic to hear that Calista was going next. That ecstasy faded very quickly, as the girl was stuttering so much that you could hardly understand her. She fumbled and tripped over her words, the girls' face growing redder and redder with each passing second. Finally, when she managed to finish, she collapsed into her chair and cried.
"Calista--" Lyra said gently as she began to reach out towards the girl. Before she could do anything else, Aleksander has swooped in with a hanky. She couldn't help but silently fangirl at the scene...it was absolutely perfect! Oh, if only she had a camera!
Lyra froze when she heard the teacher call...well, try to call Johnathon up to introduce himself. She gave a sympathetic smile towards Johnathon, as she knew from first hand experiance that Giova was not good with names...Lyra remembered last year when the teacher had called her "Loo-rah". How anyone could screw up her name like that, she had no idea. Needless to say, everyone called her Loo-rah for the rest of the year.
Last year wasn't a good year.
Before Johnathon began speaking, Lyra noticed Veronica stand up and quietly ask Giovia if she could talk to her privately. The two disappeared into the hallway after Giovia put Aleks in charge of calling out names for introductions. Typically, Lyra started to stand to follow her friend, but immediately sat back down once Johnathon began speaking. His voice was perfectly balanced. His Polish accent contrasted perfectly with the slight roughness to his voice...it was a joy to listen to.
Well, Lyra thought so.
She wasn't really listening to what he was saying until the word "piano" escaped from him. Lyra perked up slightly, tilting her head at him. Her eyes couldn't help but wander to her hands. He played, there was no doubt about it. He had long, slender finger...just like she did. Again, the weird pit in her stomach came back, and Lyra snapped her gaze away from him as he plunked back down into the seat next to her.
