Rowan Duval/Coach/Care to dance with the devil?

“Regardless where his head is at he needs a education.” He replied, watching the other place the money on the table. “You need to make him realize his education is just as important as his sports. I’ve tried and he won’t listen. He might take what you’ve got to say more seriously.” Eddy stood up from the booth following Rowan out. “I’m not trying to make your job harder. I’m just doing my own job.”

He knew that Eddy was right but would never admit that to the other boy. "I'll try and talk to him alright? If that don't work I don't know what to fucking tell you." He leaned more into the wall. "I know but you doing your job is shitting all over mine." He pointed out before sighing. All these two did was argue about students and for once Rowan was tired of it. "Don't you just ever get tired of arguing over kids that don't give two shits about us?" He said looking into his eyes.

Eddy shook his head. “Is that what you think of him? He’s not a smart kid.” He was angry with the other for thinking so low of his student. “He’s really smart and has a hell of a lot of potential to get good grades. He’s choosing not to do the work.” Eddy replied. “I’m not going to pass someone so they can play a sport. I have other kids in my class who are struggling even coming to extra help and still can’t pass my class. It wouldn’t be fair to them if I gave Joshua the passing grade.” He narrowed his eyes, as his fingers tapped on the table. “Tell Joshua to get some extra and I’ll help him study for the test next week.”

"I think that he has more interest in his sports career than his education and you do too which is why you're doing all of this." He grabbed his wallet and placed money on the table. "How the hell am I supposed to make him interested in school work, if he wasn't so important to us I would set him out." He got up from the chair and tucked his wallet back in his pocket. "You're just making my job way more fucking hard you know that?" He began to walk to the door, stepping aside to light a cigarette. He placed the stick between his lips and took a small drag.

Eddy sighed in frustration. He wasn’t going to pass a student who was failing his class. In attempt to pass Joshua, Eddy offered extra help to him. He thought he was getting through to the student, when in reality it did nothing. Joshua never showed up. “I’m not passing someone in my class who doesn’t try.” Eddy continued to stand by what he told the coach before.

Rowan ran a hand roughly through his hair and groaned softly. "He's a fucking hard headed kid with a silver spoon in his mouth he's not going to take your extra credit help." He muttered. "He's not meant to be smart and you know that, you most likely think it all the time which is why you won't pass him because you want him to at least try to be more intelligent and he's not going to."

The brunette shrugged and continued stuffing straws in the spring-loaded dispensers. She crinkled her nose in a snarl as she shoved a handful in the crammed space and thought about the question. “Could ask you the same thing, y’know, I’m not the only one not doing what I want,” she said looking at the red haired man and crinkling her nose in disinterest. “I like a lot of things: space, the ocean, history. I haven’t found my niche just yet, I’m still traveling.”

"Ah, so you're mad about the job that you do have but don't have a dream job you can look forward to achieving?" He leaned back in his seat and stared at his coffee cup for a moment before speaking up. "I always wanted to help, like be a paramedic or fireman, some shit like that but when you're dad gets you a job at the school and threatens you to take it, it gets hard chasing that dream." Rowan explained.

“Oh, I guarentee that you’re not the only one. I mean, even if people tell you that’s not how they feel, they’re lying.” Rosalind lifted her shoulders in a shrug. “Clients. They can be so bothersome. Well, actually, people in general. What about yours?”

She had a point, sooner or later everyone has a bad day to the point where they hate their job. "Students can be bothersome as well, but like you said people in general have a tendency to get on everyone's nerves." He paused. "I sound like a old man complaining about his grandkids." He laughed.

“Everyday is fucking horrible, wake up and smell the roses, red,” She nudged him back watching him as the two milkshakes she’d order earlier just arrived. “Hmm…I had a little something today,” She said winking at him badly then leaned over closer to him. “Pot brownies.” She whispered with a smile and sat back down in her seat sipping away on the gigantic vanilla milkshake. “Little miss sunshine? Your to nice to me.”

Rowan couldn't understand just why the blonde girl was being so happy until she mentioned the brownies. "Ah, so not only are you smelling the roses, you're eating them as well?" He teased before ordering their fries to the waitress. "And do you have any left for your best friend who had a crappy day or will I have to go smoke one outside." He said gesturing to her bag.

Eddy glanced up from the newspaper he was reading. “All the time.” He replied as a smile tugged at his lips.

At first Rowan didn't recognize that the man next to him was none other than the exact person that made his day much harder than it had to be. He sipped his coffee and sighed. "Listen, I know you don't want to talk about this outside of the school but Joshua needs to be passed and you know that. He's the best player on the team."

Quincey was working at Georgie’s, daydreaming about the ocean and the beach and the Christmas lights all strung out along the shoreline somewhere when the redhead came in looking a little worse for wear. She got him his coffee and patiently waited to see if he wanted anything else while she stuffed straws into the dispensers. She looked at him curiously at his question and joked, “No, waitressing is my true calling. I dream of nothing more than ketchup packets and straw dispensers.”

A small chuckle left Rowan's lips at the waitress's smart remark. "Well then I think you need a bigger dream." He teased back before leaning over and grabbing some sugar. "So if waitressing isn't what you want to do then what is, if I may ask?"

Glancing over, Rosalind couldn’t help but let out a small laugh before leaning on the table. “Awh, sweets. You’re experiencing a normal Tuesday in my life.” Well, maybe considering such things wasn’t a weekly occurence, but sometimes it did feel like it.

Rowan laughed a bit and took a sip of his coffee. "I'm glad that I'm not the only one around here that feels that way." He propped his head on his hand to look at her. "And what's so bad about your job that makes you want to quit?"

[rowanxduval]

“Oh-the horror!” Louisa said loudly with a smirk as she shook her head and glanced down at her menu. “You make me a little bit more depressing each day, you know that? It isn’t good for me.” She teased him, the whole time her eyes remaining on the menu. “If I get fries, can you get onion rings and we can share?”

The ginger rolled his eyes and nudged his best friend softly. "Shut up today's been fucking horrible." He took the whistle that was around his neck and set it on the counter. "That's fine." He hummed leaning a bit against her. "And how's your day been little miss sunshine?"

The blonde headed Scott had been sitting in the diner for quiet some time. She liked going to the Valley once in a while although she knew her family probably forbid it. Sitting on one of the barstools she’d sip her coffee as her head hung low, of course she’d been dressed in more casual clothing trying to fit in and not be called out. Blue hues shifting towards the other as he began to talk to her she’d shrug, “I’ve never had an actual job – but I’ve wanted to start over many times. Unless you need the money I encourage you to do so – doing something you dislike is horrible.”

Rowan looked at the blonde girl for a moment before his eyebrows knitted together in confusion. "You're telling me you've never had a job before?" He asked before taking a sip of his coffee. "I can't quit, my family sort of has this reputation to keep up and if I do anything to mess with it they will kill me." Killing was a overstatement but not to far behind. "Parents fucking suck."

Rowan had just gotten off work and it was such a long day he didn't even feel the need to change out of his coach uniform. He walked into the nearest diner he could find and took a seat. He grabbed a menu and ordered himself a coffee as a starter. He gripped the warm cup tightly and took a deep breath before turning to the person next to him. "Have you ever just wanted to quit your job and start over?"
