Leah Sat Next to the Band Director (Lust: +10 Tenure: -5)

Leah moved toward the Band Director Mr. Hall. He had a smile on his face like normal. His smile certainly got larger when he spotted Leah coming near.

"This seat taken?" she asked with a smile to the other teachers crowded around the bland table.

"Go ahead!" he smiled back as he motioned with his hand toward the chair. He leaned back like a child in a candy store not sure exactly which piece of candy he wanted to admire. "Did you hear about this meeting?"

"Heck no. Do they ever plan this stuff ahead?" Leah could see Principal Howard had a disappointed look on his face. Good.

"Like, I got band kids I gotta go take care of." He shook his head. No one wanted to be there. He was about to add something but was cut off before he could start.

"Alright everyone listen up!" Assistant Principal Kenning said as she paced with a clipboard with "important" information on it.

Assistant Principal Kenning was a short wiry woman with the a short power-style haircut that said "I am a school admin but have no reality of what's happening in classrooms because I haven't been in one for 15 years" kind of cut. Eventually she rose her voice enough to get all the staff's attention. A teacher faculty meeting could be worse than talking over a group of 9th graders sometimes.

She proceeded to tell the brain dead and exhausted teachers a number of new policies sent down by the board and discusses protocols for some homecoming activities that were coming up. Most teacher's acted like they were paying attention long enough until they were passed a flimsy paper that acted as a sign-in sheet.

As AP Kenning continued her enlightening rhetoric Mr. Hall leaned forward and whispered.

"It's your tenure year right?" His tone friendly--even as he whispered to avoid the prying eyes of AP Kenning.

"Yeah tenure year yours too right? We started here at the same time?" She replied

"Yeah, me too." he shrugged as if hoping the year would just end. Though he did love his job.
