See if you can lie your way into getting Professor Phoebe on her own

"Hey, sorry Cam, I'll be right back." You tell him earnestly, lowering your staff and starting to walk your way over to Professor Phoebe.

"Oh, uh- sure!" Cameron replies to your back. "See you soon!"

You hope he's right. Eeeee.... this is so nerve-wracking! Cameron starts practicing the techniques on the open air as you reach Professor Phoebe, who's currently focused on helping Miranda get the first technique down. Lexi, who's supposed to be Miranda's partner, is sitting on the mat-covered ground with her staff next to her and a big smile on her face. She looks over to you, then back to Professor Phoebe.

"Hey teach, Debbie looks like she's gonna need you for a minute -- cool if I go practice with Cam?"

"Hm?" Professor Phoebe looks up from her analysis of Miranda's stance. Her feet are both pointing inwards. "Oh, yes Lexi, have him run you through what we've already covered."

"Sweet." Lexi gives a thumbs up and hops up from her sitting position, taking the staff and walking over to join Cameron.

"Debbie, is something wrong?" Professor Phoebe asks. W-why's she looking right into your eyes? Sure, you two are talking, but.... eeeeee, this is scary.

There's a long pause before you realise that you need to come up with a lie right now, even though lying is bad. Professor Phoebe's looking at you with such expectations, oh man, you've got to hurry and come up with something to try get her on her own.
