The Cool Kid

Ms. Lalonde

I sat looking across from the crazy blonde woman in front of me "So nice to meet you Karkat." She pulled out a pen and scribbled something down "I know that Mr. Ampora was your counselor last year but considering your recent--" I interrupted "Accident!" She nodded "Yes, accident! The Principal thought I might be a better fit." I don't know why he thought that, she seemed like a crazy cat lady and alcohol lingered on her breath, I nodded awkwardly. "I got a copy of the letter that was sent to you... It wasn't very nice." No shit. "Confrontations never are." I replied. "What a nifty way to phrase it." This woman was definitely crazy "Nifty to say, not so nifty to get." I tried to look over at what she was scribbling down but she pulled it away quickly. "So how did it make you feel when you got the letter?" How do you think? "Crappy..." I muttered. "You should know I didn't try to kill myself! I have a low pain tolerance." She nodded "I'm not suggesting that you did anything but would you mind if I looked through your bag? I just wanna make sure we don't have anymore--" She put air quotes around it. "Accidents." I groaned and handed over my bag. She quickly took it and shuffled through it before pulling out a container "You weren't planning on ingesting these were you?" I rolled my eyes "Actually I was, they're breath mints." She didn't seem to trust my word, she opened it and 'ingested' one. "So they are." She kept eating the breathe mints as if they were fucking candy. "You know what Karkat? I had troubles when I was your age too. Who am I kidding? I was a mess-- oh so hot!" She spit the mints back into the container, fucking lovely. "But that's what helps me relate to students like you." She she closed the container and put it in my back and handed it back to me. "I look forward to a new year with you Karkat, oh by the way it's Ms. Lalonde but you can call me Roxy." I nodded and started "Okay, Ms. Lalonde. Are we done here." I stood up and looked back at her "Yeup! See you later K!" I smiled slightly and walked out.
