After the Fall

Who has the ring question mark? (More hmm)

"Alright class go on and pack up, the bell will ring any moment now you all have a great rest of your day." Lucas mentions, him going to round his desk.

"You too Coach!"

"You too!"

The bell rings, all of the students going to flood out of the classroom, Lucas being able to sit down and take a little breather. He goes to sit down at his desk, him leaning back a little in his swivel chair and spreading his legs a little bit, him going to lean back forward and scoot his chair a bit more. At least it is his free period and he can get caught up on some work, him wanting to go on and get caught up before tomorrow, so he takes out his pen and begins to grade papers, him rolling up his sleeves on his shirt.

"You look kind of tired."

Lucas looks towards his open door, seeing Katrina lightly knock on the door while holding the knob. "Sorry, I guess saying something then knocking on the door defeats the whole purpose." She mentions.

"It's okay." Lucas smiles at her.

"I was passing by and Becker asked me to give this to you." She says while handing him a file, Lucas taking it and going to open it. "Seems like he was in a rush."

"Thanks." Lucas says, going to look through the file of the statistics of the food drive, him lightly just looking aimlessly down at the file when he still feels her in the room.

"Welcome." She smiles, her lightly fixing her hair a little bit. "Do you mind if I ask you a question?"

Lucas looks up at her. "Sure."

Katrina goes to pull up a chair, going to sit besides his desk besides him a little and she goes to cross her legs. "I guess you can say I am a little bit nervous, you know because I came from Massachusetts and I have never been anywhere but there and this is like my first new big job so...have any advice for me?"

Lucas nods his head. "I can definitely understand that, I felt the same way when I first started here it was my first big job too. The main thing is just working hard and staying focused. This teachers here are all nice this isn't a school where the teachers act like the students and have their own 'clicks'." He quotes making her laugh. "It is a pretty good and chill place, you'll fit right in and we are here to help you through it. Of course some nerves are going to be there but as soon as you start to get use to it it will be a breeze, so it is nothing to worry about."

"Oh thank god." Katrina smiles. "I don't know this school is like...you know now the number one school I'm pretty sure since you are here and everything that happened with this town, it's kind of intimidating."

"I could see why you think that but this is now just a regular nice no more evil town." He says making her laugh. "You'll be fine."

"Thank you Lucas." Katrina says, her putting her hand over his, him looking down at the action. "You really are as good as they all say."

Lucas gives her a tight awkward smile, him going to slowly bring his hand away from hers. "I'm here to help, just let me know if you have anymore questions or you can ask anyone in the Math department they will be willing to help you."

"Okay sounds good." Katrina smiles. "So when did you and Max get married?"

Lucas immediately smiles while he leans back in his chair, playing a little with the pen in his hand. "We were nineteen going on twenty when we got married, now we're here two years later with a amazing daughter."

"I see, so twenty two, married and with a daughter." Katrina smiles. "That must be really nice."

"Yeah it is." Lucas replies. "She's amazing Max is amazing, I wouldn't have it any other way."
