Another Day at the Office

[Deleted]

It had been a long day, and it wasn't over yet. JJ sat in her office and stared at the computer screen, which was currently on a list of students because she was supposed to be finalizing class schedules. But she had been doing the exact same thing all day, and she was just so done.

The office was somewhat small, with a desk, chair, some cabinets, and a small loveseat type couch where students sat when they came to see her. It was a bit messy, papers strewn all over the desk and her messenger bag thrown carelessly in the corner. Behind her desk was also a mini fridge with a microwave sitting on top. With a bored sigh, JJ pulled out a sealed bag of blood and stuck it in the microwave for a few seconds. When the microwave beeped she pulled it out and ripped into the bag with her teeth. It was just a small bag, a snack, and when she was done she tossed it in the trash and licked her lips. From one of her desk drawers she pulled a little compact mirror and her orange lipstick, and carefully reapplied it, smacking her lips at her reflection. She checked to make sure her over-done purple eyeshadow hadn't smeared, then stuffed the compact back into the drawer.

JJ leaned back in her chair and grabbed the sunglasses sitting on her desk, which she slid onto her face. Her office was at the end of the hall and no one ever walked by unless they actually wanted to talk to her, and since she hadn't had a visitor all day, she figured no one would notice if she took a short nap.

[GREYSON SHAWN MOROSA]

Greyson had been hoping to take up the position of RA for the 3rd floor, though he was told he had to see his counselor to set it up. He hadn't actually set up an appointment, he figured he would just do it when he went to check in on his schedule for the new semester. Of course, he hadn't expected to peak in and see her taking a nap. Not that he minded, in fact he just chuckled softly at her. "Working all night?" he asked lightly.

He watched her with a teasing grin from the door. She had been his counselor for the past couple of years, and as much as he and Alex had pulled in the last two it had been quite entertaining to greet her. While that wasn't much promising for someone wanting to be an RA it did help that even when he got into trouble he spent more time getting other out of it. Generally the actual trouble they got into was harmless pranks. It was when others were endangered that Greyson would get Alex to go start something up to help the one in trouble.

"I was wondering if the 3rd floor has an RA yet?" he gave a soft smile blush taking to his cheeks. He was pretty sure she would give some sarcastic response and probably ask him why he would think he had a chance at that. Probably remind him that RA's are supposed to keep others out of trouble rather than run around and get into it themselves. Still, he gave his best hopeful charming smile with the idea that he would at least pose a chance for RA. It sounded enjoyable and he didn't exactly have much to do that semester.

He had taken a bunch of light courses as it was, partially because his last semester was so rough and partially because he was working on finding his real parents, hoping to find out one why they left him and two why he seemed to be developing his powers much faster than the average necromancer.

It felt like JJ had just fallen asleep when s voice startled her away. She jumped slightly in her chair and her sunglasses slid down her nose so they were lopsided. "Oh, Greyson." She pulled the sunglasses off and dropped them on her desk, then ran a hand through her straight blond hair. It was out of habit more than anything, there was no way sleeping in her chair had messed up her hair. "Yeah." She laughed lightly, "Sorry, I wasn't expecting anyone." JJ liked Greyson. He had been her student since he got here a couple years ago. In fact, he'd been her student as long as she'd worked here, and in all honesty he was one of her favorites. He was a bit of a troublemaker, but it was never anything dangerous or too serious, and she too had once been a bit of a troublemaker. Who was she kidding, she still was, when she didn't have to be a role model for students. Although, she had just been caught napping on the job.

She was about to ask him what he wanted, in a nice way, when he told her. The RA position. Right. She'd forgotten they still needed to be assigned. Why was the beginning of the year so hectic for her? Although this was only the beginning of her third year, she thought she'd have this down by now. Oh well. "Um, no, I think it's still open." She noticed that Greyson seemed to be a bit nervous about asking. Since becoming a vampire she'd learned to pick up on other people's emotions. As a human she hadn't really noticed at all, or cared to, but her enhanced senses allowed her to see little changes in a person. "Let me get you an application, I have one around here somewhere." She looked around her desk, moving papers and files, until she found what she was looking for. "Here you go." She said handing it to him.
