The door opened slowly. It's creaking and whining told of a great need for some oil. Dexter poked his head in to see who was inside. Otto was sitting across the room at a table with some of the other history teachers. Otto looked over at the source of the noise and spotted Dexter. He gave him a smile and waved. Dexter smiled wryly and walked into the room slowly. He wasn't sure what to say.
"Hey, sorry about yelling at you for being completely right, truce?" He sighed inwardly and walked up to the table with a peace offering of taffy.
"Hey Otto, can we talk?" Dexter asked sheepishly.
"Of course Dexter." Otto stood up and walked to the side with Dexter.
"Otto, I'm truly sorry about yesterday. I've been under a lot of stress lately and-" Otto cut him off by putting a hand up.
"It's fine Dexter, you have no need to explain. I don't think I'd be able to handle things like you do, especially something as drastic as that." He punched Dexter gently in the arm. Dexter smirked and laughed.
"Now, is that taffy for me or are you going to just tease me with it?" Otto asked jokingly. Dexter handed him the tin and the two walked back to the table.
There was a large tree that Evee had taken blossom to sit under to eat lunch at. Evee had to have her umbrella out because of the streams of light that danced down like tiny daggers at her. Evee and Blossom unpacked their lunched and started to indulge in the food. Evee wiped her apple with her shirt that hung loosely off her slender shoulders. Blossom started to unpeel an orange.
"So Blossom," Evee asked before biting a hunk off of her apple. She waited until she swallowed to talk.
"What school did you come from?" Blossom threw a piece of orange into her mouth as Evee asked. She covered her mouth as she chewed. She dragged it out as long as she could trying to think of what to say.
"You know, she probably wouldn't know who I am if I said Townsville University," Blossom thought. The word of the powerpuff girls most likely hadn't spread out here.
"I'm from Townsville U." Blossom shoved a few orange slices into her mouth incase Evee said anything about it.
"Oh Townsville U? Aren't there some real life super heroines there?" Blossom nearly choked on the oranges but just smiled and nodded.
"I don't know their names or anything, but h-how cool would it be if you met a real life super heroine!" Evee's smile beamed and she bit into her apple again.
Phew Blossom thought.
Evee continued with the questions.
"So what is your major?" Evee asked as she slinked her creamy colored arm into her messenger bag to grab a small tub of carrots. She crunched into them as she waited for Blossoms reply.
"I'm majoring in English right now. I have been thinking about becoming a teacher." Evee offered some carrots to Blossom. She grabbed a couple and munched on them. The two started to giggle; for some reason the fact neither of them could talk seemed particularly hilarious.
"What about you Evee, what's your major?"
Evee rubbed her noise and sniffled, "I love science. I wanted to get into the biology class but I registered too late and all they had open was Beginner's Physics. I like it though, so I may just stick with it."
Blossom nodded and ate another piece of orange. Evee grabbed a juice pouch and jabbed the straw into the top and took a drink.
"Hey can I ask something really random?" Evee said shyly. It was really apparent when she blushed with her milky complexion. Blossom nodded.
"Yeah, what is it?" Blossom began to sip from her water bottle.
"Is it just me or is Professor Breen cute?" Blossom cupped her mouth before she spit water all over Evee. Blossoms cheeks dusted with pink and she looked down.
"He's… ok." Blossom said nonchalantly. Ok? No, she found him completely adorable in his awkwardness. He probably didn't think she'd noticed when he was staring at her during the lab. She giggled at the thought then she shook her head. She needed to stop thinking about him. She wasn't even sure why she was thinking about it. The two finished their meal and packed up for their next classes. Evee's parasol almost hit Blossom as she stood.
"Hey, do you need a ride home today?" Evee asked as they were walking.
"I only live down the road and a few blocks." Blossom said.
"Oh…" Evee said dolefully. Blossom smiled and thought for a moment.
"How about this, you can give me a ride, but you have to come in and visit with me and my sister."
Evee's smile seemed to touch her ears and she nodded excitedly.
"T-that would be great! W-we'll meet in the parking lot!"
Blossom came across her class and motioned she needed to go. Evee hugged her clumsily and took off for her room.
Blossom stood around the parking lot waiting for Evee. She looked and saw her hurrying over to where Blossom was. She waved and Blossom watched as she almost tripped over herself in the rush. Evee took in some shallow breaths.
"My car--is over there" She said pointing in the direction of a small yellow car. The two walked over to the vehicle and Evee unlocked the doors and they slipped into the car.
Dexter slung a bag over his shoulder and locked his classroom up. It was time to go home, but he was getting a little hesitant to go, incase his dreams came and tortured him. The parking lot was slowly emptying, and as students went home he made his way to car slowly. He stood on the edge of the pavement for a moment before stepping down and going to his car. The sound of a car caught his attention and he saw a yellow car coming right at him. He tried to move but couldn't get out of the way in time.
The sound of tires shrieking echoed in his mind as head hit the pavement and his vision started to fade in and out. He heard the sound of screams and movement. Warm liquid trickled down his cheek and his began to pound. All of a sudden he felt weightless and his body rise. He looked up and saw her. She had a terrified look on her face as she held his limp body. He blinked wondering if he was just imagining it. Was she concerned for him? He thought as he tried to focus on her. He tried to life his arm to touch her to see if she was real and he wasn't just imagining her. Dexter's vision faded in and out again and he felt his eye lids get heavier until they shut.
She was the last thing he saw.
