After Hours

chapter 3

Sunday Evening

Agatha sat at her dining room table, with her laptop open, nursing a glass of wine. More like bottle, but who cares. She was writing lesson plans for the next month. Lesson plants she had to share with Wanda.

She had been thinking about Wanda. More than she would like to care to admit. She wishes Friday night would have gone differently, but she couldn't figure out how she wishes it played out.

She sighed as she pushed her glasses to the top of her head and moved to sit on her couch. She sat and tried to watch a few episodes of tv, but couldn't seem to get comfortable.

Agatha sighed and just decided to retire upstairs for the night. She made sure her doors were locked and all the lights were off before heading to her room.

She decided to pick her outfit out tonight. What's the harm in being prepared?

Wrong.

It was now 11pm and Agatha had torn her entire closet apart. Nothing really fit her 'the mood'.

Or she thought it wouldn't impress Wanda.

Agatha finally settled on dark slacks and a long sleeve sweater over a white ruffle collared shirt.

She put her closet together again, and decided she needed a new wardrobe.

As she settled into bed, she only had one thing on her mind.

Wanda.

Monday Morning

Agatha's morning at home went smoothly, so did her drive.

She pulled into her usual parking spot, next to Darcy, and saw her sitting in her car

They both got out of their cars, and Agatha greeted Darcy.

"Morning Darc, how was your weekend?" Agatha asked taking a sip of her coffee.

"It was pretty chill, it was mostly me cuddling with Mittens and grading some work."

Mittens was Darcy's adorable cat. Agatha loved Mittens, she even wanted her own cat, but she was waiting for the right time.

"I miss Mittens. We need a girls night." Agatha said as she opened the school door for Darcy to walk in.

"Totally! We can have a little grading party, drink some wine, and watch some movies!" Darcy exclaimed, getting excited.

"Alright, just let me know when, i'll bring the wine!" Agatha said as Darcy kept walking, but she unlocked her room.

Agatha got situated at her desk and started her computer. There was about 15 minutes til the school doors opened, so she had some free time.

As she started pulling up attendance and getting papers ready, she heard a soft knock on the door.

"Come in" She said, not looking away from her computer, until she heard heels approaching and a soft cough.

"uh, Good Morning Agatha" Wanda greeted in a smooth, light voice.

Agatha's head whipped over to the woman and took in her appearance. She was wearing light grey, high waisted pants with 3 big black buttons, with a white button up. The shirt was tucked in, with the first few buttons undone, and a beautiful necklace with 3 hearts intertwined.

Her fiery red hair was messy, but pulled back into a claw clip.

She looked ethereal.

"um, Agatha?" Wanda asked and tried to get Agatha's attention.
