“I don’t know, dude. Maybe one of them witches? I’ve heard they’re the ones responsible for kidnapping that teacher.” He’d certainly heard lots of conspiracy theories about that wandering around campus, not sure which one to believe. “Simona. You know me well enough by now to know I’m not the most calm and rational person in the world. That pisses a lot of people off.”

“Wait, really? Witches? Where did you hear that from? That’s crazy.” Simona replied, they were very intune with the rumours flying around, some of them sounded a lot more real than others. “Maybe we need to try and get you on some more peoples good sides. Bake them some brownies, or something.”

harveybanks​: 

“I mean I noticed now,” Harvey replied defensively, “Is that not good enough?” At their words he nodded, “Okay, I won’t forget the pout. The pout is our selling point.”

“I don’t think so, especially since I had to tell you about it.” They spoke with a shake of their head. “Great, do you need to practice any more before we try?” 

[simonafairbank]

audreyfindlay​:

“I’m not going to have to come up with some… elaborate lie or something, am I?” she asked warily. “Because I’m not sure how good at that I’d be,” Audrey added. “Oh yeah, me either. I mean sure we’ll always have some sort of responsibilities, but work seems a lot more agreeable than school at this point.”

“Possibly, but it’s okay. I can help you think of a good one. I’m quite believable.” They replied, placing a confident smile on their face. “I hope so. Unless it ends up being worse. Will you stop me from getting a job that’s worse than school?”

winifredvaughn​:

“Oh Simona, I think it’s lovely!” she smiled at their art. “Absolutely we can hang it on the fridge, are you kidding? If any art is fridge-worthy, it’d be yours. Let’s put it right at eye level so nobody misses it.”

Simona loved how Winnie was so supportive, even if it was apart of a joke. “Do you think so? Maybe I should sign it so everyone knows it was by me.” They spoke, “Or maybe I should practice my signatures for when everyone starts asking me for my signature?”

marisclflcres​:

“Fake it ‘til you make it is the mentality for the day I take it?” she commented with a laugh. “Ah, but if you’ve had practice with cooking you’ll probably do better at this baking thing. I’ll follow your lead around the kitchen,” Mari suggested. “They just go missing, hmm? How tragic and mysterious,” she laughed in response.

“It’s gotten me by so far,” They spoke with a laugh, it was their usual mentality regarding school work. “You’d think so, right? But no. All my cupcakes get burnt to a crisp. Maybe with you following me it won’t end up so bad for my cupcakes.” They suggested. “I know! It’s so strange, you’d think they’d be where I left them but no. Gone in thin air.”

@theacressport​

“Please. Please tell me you were listening in our last potionology class?” Simona practically begged the other, hoping for a good response as they looked to their blank pages. “Save me. I’m begging you.” 

[simonafairbank]

@lucasharpscn​

Simona nodded along slowly as the other talked, they tried to wait until Lucas had stopped talking but half way through the conversation, Simona was getting more and more confused. “Wait, you aren’t talking about me, are you?” 

[simonafairbank]

@benjixevcrwood​

“Dude, seriously. Can you stop leaving your stuff around everywhere?” Simona spoke with a glaring look. “I swear, this is the third time today that I’ve tripped over your bag.” 

[simonafairbank]

@winifredvaughn​

“I think ‘this is amazing!’ are the words you’re looking for.” Simona commented as they held up their attempt of painting the skyline, it looked more like a child had attempted it. “Do you think we can hang it on the fridge?”

[simonafairbank]

@noahslockwood​

“Okay, I meant it as a joke.” Simona spoke, sighing as their joke didn’t hit as intended. “Can you just pretend to laugh?” 

[simonafairbank]

maxfairbcnk​:

“You know you say that but I’m still skeptical whether he level of concern would be there even if I wasn’t fine, I’ve seen you laugh while Mom tried to console me after a bad skateboarding accident before.” Max pointed out to the other, giving them a look to show that he wasn’t quite sure he believed them. “Well if it’s going to be good for our schemes, how can I say no.” Max’s eyebrows rose at the others example, “Two levels up from that? People are going to think I’ve lost a limb if I go to that level.”

“I have never laughed at you once in my life,” Simona spoke with clear exaggeration, pretending to be offended by the accusation of their level of care. “Lost a limb? That’s a good idea, do you think you can fake something like that? Hide your arm in your shirt maybe?”

christiansohare​:

“I’m pretty sure it’s illegal,” Christian replied. “First of all, it’s only been a year. Second of all, if it’s the one you choose your own topic, I’m sure they don’t get the same topics very often. You’re on your own for this one, sorry.”

“Now, why did you have to bring the legality into it?” They spoke with a tilt of her head. “You could have done that thing... what’s it called? Pleading ignorance. Where you didn’t know the rules.” They replied with a sigh, “Could you help me study, then?” 

[simonafairbank]

marisclflcres​:

“I can’t blame you,” Marisol agreed easily. “Well I’m responsible enough to not burn anything of course, but I’m not exactly some sort of champion baker either,” she admitted when asked by the other about her baking skills. “How about you?” Mari turned the question onto them out of curiosity. “You know what, you’re probably onto something with the stress theory. That has to be the reason we find it easier to nap some days,” she nodded after considering it for a moment. “I mean I get that but– damn. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone going to such lengths to avoid it. Have you always done that? Hide your work I mean.”

“We can always pretend to be champion bakers though, can’t we?” They suggested with a laugh. “I’m a lot better at cooking than baking but at home my Mums love to cook so I never get much of a chance in the kitchen.” They spoke with a shrug. “Not that I’m complaining, the stress isn’t great in general but it’s amazing for a nap.” Simona agreed. “For the most part, yeah. And the best part is, especially at home, with so many siblings sometimes they just go missing. Completely by accident,” They spoke, laughing as they did.

harveybanks​:

“Alright, I get it. You know stuff,” he rolled his as playfully at Simona, not actually upset with them. “My puppy dog eyes? They look a little something like this. Even come with a pout too– do you think it’ll be enough?” Harvey demonstrated to the other.

“I know lots of stuffs, thank you very much. It would be nice if you noticed,” They teased to the other. “Hmm, I think with the pout absolutely. Just don’t forget the pout, okay?” 

[simonafairbank]

audreyfindlay​:

“I’m generally not the prank pulling type, so I don’t know what I could’ve done myself to merit this either,” Audrey admitted. “I always welcome a break too, but if we just had break time all the time would they really be breaks?”

“I’m afraid I may have pulled you under the bus with me, then.” Simona admitted, making a face as they talked. “You’re probably right, but it would be so nice. I can’t wait until we graduate and actually have some free time without some kind of deadline in the distance.”

willicmccrtwright​:

“Not that it matters to you or is particularly your business but no. I do my job and then I have my own time. I tend not to allow the two to cross otherwise it impacts the social side of things.” And Will did enjoy having a social life where he could. Work was work to him.

Simona was enjoying the attempt to wind up the professor, especially since it seemed so easy. “So you don’t do any overtime? This is why our assignments take so long to come back to us, you don’t help out any of the other professors in the marking.” Simona said with a shake of their head, as if they were disapproving. 

[simonafairbank]

willicmccrtwright​:

“Are you really that bad at listening? I’d advise you to work on it if you want to do well here.” Will warned them, shaking his head a little at the others words. “I never said anything about skipping a meeting, I just explained that no one wants an extra meeting in their lives. We spend enough time making sure that we are doing what is required so that you all achieve your best.”

“Horrible. I thought I had been making that obvious?” Simona asked with a tilt of their head. “They sound pretty similar to me. Did you not feel like picking up some extra work? That’s a bit slack of you.”
