She looked around, checking that the clock was close enough to the specified meeting time, and to see if anyone else was going to come in. The answer, evidently, was no. This strapping young man was to be Chie’s sole pupil for the duration of the night.
Quietly, without responding to his other statements, she gathered her things, and put them into her briefcase. After having snapped it up, she walked the several feet to the back of the room where her student was seated, and meticulously unpacked again.
She took a thick folder from her briefcase, and began rifling through it, until it was cracked open about to the midway mark of the papers. If one had peeked over her shoulder while she did this, they would have noticed many small black and white photos lined up next to minimalist information concerning grade, age, title, and the School Board’s official remarks on the student.
She looked back at the boy, and offered him a smile.

While she spoke, her eyes wandered off of his face, attracted to the red pen parks on his crumpled assignments. She had always disapproved of red pens for grading papers—it seemed too condemning.

Blue, however, was problematic because some students enjoyed writing in blue pen for their assignment. Therefore, pink was the logical solution to the problem. She was very proud of this innovation, though it was unlikely that she should ever mention it to another.
"What would you like to work on?" she asked as an after though, dragging her eyes away from his initial assignments and looking back at his face. "I am skilled at anything literary in nature, so any essays are accepted. Science, history, politics, Literature…mostly I avoid math, obviously…"
