When Stevie and Chris finally get to the school they were still on schedule. Lindsey had parked in the same spot- next to Stevie's, in front of the library. She notices that and she kind of smiles to herself.
She hops off the car, as does her brother and they head for the class, she walks quickly and as they walk she is telling her brother some things.
"Okay, when we get in I'm gonna get all that crap together. I have a worksheet and I need copies and I need you to check my mailbox for me as I prepare."
"You got it." Chris says as he follows behind her. When they approach the door Stevie unlocks it and opens it all the way putting the stopper in front of it.
Stevie rushes to her desk and she quickly grabs the sheet of notes and worksheet for her brother to make copies of. "Here you are." She hands him the the papers, "and, the keys. It's this little gold one." She hands it to him.
"That's gold?" He looks closely at it.
"Shut up- I know it's old." They both laugh- Chris leaves to do what is asked of him and Stevie sits in her chair making more notes.
A few minutes goes by and Brianna walks in. "Hi, Ms. Nicks." She greets Stevie and places her backpack on the floor beside her chair.
"Hey, sweetie." Stevie says as she was still looking down.
"You okay?" Brianna notices a difference in her teacher. Stevie thinks quickly as she continues to take notes.
I can't tell her I was smoking pot last night, that would be awful and not a soul- needs to know that. Stevie thinks to herself. "I'm perfect, honey." Stevie looks up smiling. "Just a little tired that's all."
"Oh." Brianna takes her seat.
"Anyway, how did your new music class go?" Stevie asks.
"Great! Mr. Buckingham is a great teacher. He teaches us one by one to make sure we understand our instruments."
"Oh, that's great." Stevie smiles. "I told you didn't have anything to worry about."
"Yep." She smiles "Oh, and his favorite instrument is the guitar."
"Wild!" Stevie answers, as she goes back to making her notes.
Meanwhile, Chris is checking Stevie's box after making copies and runs into Lindsey.
"Hey." Chris says to Lindsey.
"Hey, what's up?" Lindsey was closing his box.
"Nothing much. Sis and I were running a bit late this morning so I was checkin' the mail for her." He opens the box and there was nothing there. Chris shuts the box.
"That's nice." Lindsey and Chris start to walk back to the rooms. "How do ya' like your job as a TA?" Lindsey asks.
"It's not too bad." Chris was being honest. "My sister can be hard, but she's cool."
"Yeah, she seems to be a gentle soul." Lindsey says as he stuffs his hands in his pockets.
"Yep." Chris kind of watches Lindsey's body language and he could tell he liked Stevie by the way he got shy when he brought her up.
They make it back to the classes and Lindsey follows Chris into the class, he wanted to see Stevie. When the boys walk in Stevie had finished making her notes.
"Oh, Chris would you mind hanging this shawl up for me? It fell down and I can't reach." He rolls his eyes and does it. "Hey, Lindsey. I mean Mr. Buckingham." She corrects herself as she gets off the chair she was standing on.
