Ain't it fun?

[Sienna Reid-Estrada]

A month or so had passed since she had finally finished her master's, and the first thing she needed to do in order to get a teaching license was actually acquire some experience in the form of assisting an actual teacher in an actual school. 

Sienna's desired position would be at a high school level, and then maybe after some experience move up to being a professor at a university. She wasn't entirely sure yet, but she did know that she would have to make some calls and set up some meetings with principals and deans. 

However, when she had done that, she had also spoke to the dean of Hammel Institute, a very prominent Meta-Powered boarding school in the area, and she figured she'd apply there as well. Little did she know that she'd be accepted. So who else to tell but her friend and librarian, Terrence Mathews?

Heya. I have some awesome news

[Terrence Mathews]

Terrence... well, you would think talking over the internet or through text messages would be easier for him, considering his lacking ability to socially interact without wavering, but... nope. He didn't generally talk to many people, though, so it wasn't an issue, really. When he saw Sienna's name on his phone, he did kinda freeze. But that was just by nature.

And because she was pretty.

He read the text, curious. Awesome news? Could be anything. He tried to think, but he was an awkward little sod, and his mind wasn't working with him.

Really?

Nice =D What happened?

That's grezt! Hit me

Okay, why was replying so hard? She was just another human being. He sighed to himself and just sent the first thing that came to mind.

Sounds awesome. Care to expand? =)

Sounds awesome. Wow. As if that wasn't obvious already.

[Sienna Reid-Estrada]

It seemed to take a bit longer for him to reply, but she figured it was because he may have been busy or something. When she was around books, she could be caught in an entirely different world which could be interesting to get her out of. But when she did get the message, she smiled.

I am taking a job as an assistant for one of the English teacher's at Hammel for the 2014-2015 school year.

Which meant that she would probably be seeing Terrence much more often, and despite the fact that she knew he might be incredibly awkward around her, it would give her a chance to get to know him a bit better which wasn't the reason she took the job, but it was a plus.

[Terrence Mathews]

Yeah, he had been busy. Busy freaking out. In actuality, all he had been doing was reading, which was really quite a subdued way of saying it. And it was also probably entirely expected. His phone lit up again and he read the message. And he wasn't really sure how to react exactly.

That's amazing! Congrats! =D

English meant literature, literature meant books, books meant Terrence. He was... happy, honestly. To have her become one of his co-workers, seeing as she was such a nice person, but... he was going to need to calm down more.

It's cool that I'll get to see you everyday

I can't wait to

Hammel's a really great place, you'll like it there.

Eesh.

[Sienna Reid-Estrada]

I'm just curious how I'll deal with the whole -metahuman teenagers and staff- thing.

Yes, she was curious, but she was also excited. She'd learn something new about that population by working with them. In her eyes, she figured they were all regular teenagers just with some sort of odd difference from the normal population - powers. It'd be fun, most definitely.

Sienna had been meeting several people, and she knew that they typically hid what they were because not many people were as accepting of them as they should be.

But anyway, how are you? c:

[Terrence Mathews]

It's nothing too big, it's just like any other school. Except the kids can do weird things.

And most of the staff too - yes, that was very encouraging. Of course, Terrence could think it was so casual and be contradictory like that. It was going to be normal for him, being meta was his reality. For Sienna... it would probably be a jump. Also, the way he said it made it seem like he was comfortable around all the students and staff at Hammel.

Hahahahahah.

Hahaha.

Ha.

No.

Some people embraced meta powers, but Terrence knew from personal experience that it wasn't rare to be called a freak. It was dehumanizing, and sometimes hard to cope with. He was glad that he had a good control over his own power, and that it was subtle. For some people, it was very hard to cope with.

Oh, wait what? How was he? How was he supposed to respond to that?

I'm fine.

Boring.

I'm great =)

Too happy.

I'm good. Been reading, so I would be =) What about you?

That was good. Hopefully.
