"Make sure the cuts are even. I said even! Here let me do it!" Christy shook her head with disappointment as she observed Neil interacting with her pupils for what become a monthly science lesson and experiment. Usually Neil was a lot calmer than this and able to take the students and their thick headed ways with a grain of salt. Today however from the moment he had stepped into the room he had a chip on his shoulder.
"You know I think it's time for a break! Come on everyone outside!" The students smiled, it was almost an hour early. Once the room cleared she approached her friend.
"Aren't you and David teaching those kids about measurements and scale!?"
"Neil they're just children, take it easy." She could tell by the fire in his eyes he had a harsh comment to return, to like always, but stopped himself. "Let me guess, even if I ask you won't tell me what's wrong, right?"
"That's damn right! I'll continue this next month. Maybe." Before Christy could reply or simply as goodbye he had stomp from the building, down the steps nearly colliding into Rob Allen without issuing an apology.
