Three fandoms of mine in one fic, in under 400 words. I so need more sleep, and to spend more time on school work.

Probability
In which Reneesme starts the new semester.
I skipped a little as I worked my way through the warm bodies and beating hearts of my fellow math nerds. I'd finally gotten my schedule worked out so that I could take the introductory probability course. My roommate had taken the course last Spring and raved about the professor, going on at length over what a great teacher he was, and how he reminded her of a couple of geeky-but-great friends from home.
I was also pretty sure that said roommate had a crush on the professor, but I wouldn't let that color my evaluation of him.
Room 142 came into view, and I allowed the crush of bodies in the hall to carry me in that direction. I slipped out of the crowd and entered the room, where there were already five other students. Ah yes, the usual Tuesday-Thursday early-in-the-program math majors crowd. We were forming our own little clique, always seeing each other in our classes semester to semester.
At the front of the room stood a young dark-haired man whose wild curls looked like I imagine Uncle Emmett's might, if he could grow his hair out. Next to him was a beautiful blonde woman who, to my vampire senses, felt...different. Human, but a little off somehow.
Interesting.
Once the classroom filled in and we were all paying appropriate attention, the dark-haired man stepped forward and began the usual introductions. "Good morning! Welcome to MA 150, Intro to Probability Theory. If you should be somewhere else, please take this opportunity to leave." One wayward student--the only one I hadn't recognized--did indeed walk out of the classroom with an embarrassed look. With a grin for the students, the professor continued. "I'm Dr. Charlie Epps. This," he gestured to the tall blonde, "is Cassie Frasier, our T.A. this term."
As Dr. Epps went over his office hours and the syllabus, I caught the T.A. giving me a strange look. Well. So she could tell that I'm different, too. Fun times in the math world at CalSci! My life as a half-human isn't exciting enough. Oh, no. I get even more excitement in the form of a sorta/mostly human T.A. I truly am my mother's daughter.

Cassie I borrowed from Stargate, which was created by Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin--I'm pretending Cassie & Charlie are of an age. Humor me. Nessie is the mis-begotten creation of Stephanie Meyer.
