4. Our muses are attending a Christmas party
The Christmas music was loud and grating the same tunes year after year. They never got better, the music always just seemed if anything to get worse as time went on. The closest to new music was pop stars making covers of the same old songs that were always on everywhere you go this time of year. Chase, was one of the few on the school staff who didn’t decorate his room, play the music or dressed up to the ‘festive’ spirit. He found it all to be nothing but a waste.
Sadly. Chase was new to the staff of the school, which in his mind meant he was at the very bottom of the food chain here and in order to get up said chain to have any real pull or job security even. Well Chase had to play along and take part of school event and functions. The only reason he was here for the Staff’s own Christmas party.
With the music he couldn’t stand all the on purpose ugly sweaters that many of the staff were wearing. Or Grady accessories like light up ties or headbands. It was all stupid and over the top Chase was starting to hate the colors Red and Green from the holiday alone itself. The only saving grace? Seemed to be the company of Wuya around. Seem to wear a similar expression of disdain for the holiday.
“Finding a kinder spirit in these times seems more fourtrunate than originally thought.” He said as he made his way over to her offering a cup of the ‘punch’ lucky for them no students would be spiking drinks at their party like what happened to the one held for the students and their eggnog. Chase, never minded writing up referrals but even his own wrist had grown tried from that. “Rare to find you with out the little pest insisting on being glued to you.” Chase noted.
Mostly grateful that Jack Spicer seemed to not Weasley his way into an event meant for staff and faulty only. But, with Jack’s family connection and just reliance on Wuya in general? Well Chase felt the odds on Jack making an appearance were higher than they were next to not happening at all. Simple holding his smile over Wuya’s response about Jack. It was unofficial knowledge that the reason she spent so much time with the boy was to make sure he was on track with courses and the such. Not normally a job for someone not part of the counseling team. But, with the generous donation Jack’s family gave to the school not to mentioned whatever Wuya skimmed from the top to line her own pocket added to all that. They all knew the spread here at the party was only a fraction display of why there was personal intrest in Jack Spicer’s enrollment there. The food all catered in, nothing store brought. They even had people there to do the severing of the food for them. It was a nice little event for the school.
Chase siped from his own cup of warm tea, as he took perch against the wall by Wuya. If he was punished to be stuck at this event he might as well have picked of his company well he was there. Guan was the last person he wanted to be around and Wuya seemed like a good repellent for that as well. Besides, he had far more respect for her over most this staff. Finding so many of the staff soft and weak unlike Wuya who was still stern here self. Leaving a smirk to his face when Wuya made mention of Jack’s current grades from Chase’s class.
“As much as I enjoy explaining the flaws in Spicer’s work, it is a party and I suppose we should keep work talk out of the room? Unless you would like to just vent about the annoyance having Jack around can be outside of that?” Before he gave a playful click of his tounge “Oh but that would still be work seeing how you are being paid to babysit him.” Wuya eye roll just gave him satfaction in seeing that they shared some distaste for Jack after all.
Course the bit of enjoyment Chase had was soon snuffed out when the dean, Fung, suddenly spoke up. Wanting to get everyone more into the festive spirt. He rambled on and one about the whole thing as Chase groaned to himself. “How have you worked here so long under him?” He asked
“I feel like his influence would rot my teeth if I’d been here as long as you have.”He smirked a bit over to Wuya. "maybe thats why you are soft around Spicer?"
