Moving Electrons

[Devyn Solway]

Was the school serious? She was on summer break and she had made sure that she had passed all of her classes in order to make it into college. She still didn’t even want to be in college but it gave her more of a reason to remain around BA and thus be there for Vera and those she cared about. One assignment, one assignment that she didn’t bother to turn in and now she was being informed she needed to make up a class and take a test to prove that she knew the material. They were not going to hold her back or anything, but if she failed the test then she was going to have to take a similar class on her college class list.

“Arg, one assignment! One damn assignment and I have to waste my summer time going into this class.” Devyn muttered angrily and out loud to herself as she walked. She had her favorite backpack with several things in it, which did make things better. Her plan was to just ask the teacher to just give her the test, so she could take it, prove that she knew the material, and get back to her movie binge while she was waiting for Vera to finish her work for the day. She honestly could do that and it would work, the school just would have preferred her to have a review, but she didn’t need one.

Dev didn’t even bother trying to act like she was in a good mood as she walked into the classroom like she owned it and grabbed a seat. So far it seemed like she was going to be the only one here; since the classroom was so small, but she didn’t no. Nor did she care. What she did know was that she was not expecting for the teacher too…look like they did. Devyn’s green eyes had to blink a few times, making sure she saw right with who was sitting at the teacher’s desk. Could not have been the teacher, had to be a rebellious college student. “Yo, Foxy. Know when the teacher will be here?" Devyn asked, smirking a little, because how could she not flirt?

It had been only two weeks since Carmelita moved in that she already was assigned to teach something. She had gotten an email stating that she was to teach a brief summer class for kids who needed to make up work or needed to redo a certain section. According to the message, it was a course teaching mostly about the natures of electrons and such with electricity. It would be easy for Carmelita to explain. She was still a tad surprised at how soon she was out into action though. But then again, maybe it was just a way for her to get eased into the Bellefonte system handling a few kids before getting a full class. So she decided to accept the challenge and do her best.

She had gotten there early to set things up and write out a few things on the board she wanted to go over for the first day. It was essentially just going to be an overview day really to get the summary of the whole class out of the way. To her surprise, a few kids actually came in early, according to the clock up on the wall. She was faintly impressed. But obviously not nearly as impressed as the kids were by her appearance. Practically- no, scratch that - every student (even though there were only five total in the whole course) that came in did a double take upon seeing her. One kid even unfortunately bashed his hip into one of the desks, making Carmelita grimace in sympathy. It amused her to no end though. They must've expected some middle aged man with balding hair to teach them. Most went out to wander the halls before class started though, leaving Carmelita alone.

But even so , Carmelita was mainly focused on reading over her list of things to talk about that day, occasionally glancing at the clock to check the time til she started. There was about twenty minutes left when someone plopped down and addressed her directly instead of joining in the hushed conversations Outside the room. Carmelita immediately looked up and raised an eyebrow at the flirty question. Foxy? The word brought a slight smirk to her lips and she observed the speaker. She was cute in a sort of bad-girl way. Carmelita looked at the clock. "The teacher showed up about... 56 minutes ago, and has been here ever since." Carmelita replied with a clear Latina accent coloring her voice, looking back over at the girl and meeting her green eyes with her own brown ones , which were filled with amusement. "Welcome to my class. I didn't know I would have one of the Jets attending." Carmelita joked teasingly. She didn't know why, but this girl reminded her too much of a Jet from West Side Story. She was sure the reference would go right over her head though, it is was funny to Carmelita nonetheless

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn was a loner at heart, only hanging around people she felt were her pack or if she felt like being social. She was actually very good at being social and liked to be around people but most of the time she still like her solitude. So no, she was not going to join in the chatter with other people when she didn't even want to be here at the moment. She wanted to get in, do the test, and get out as soon as possible just relaxing or possibly going bother her girlfriend. That would be fun. The chick behind the desk informed her that the teacher had showed up almost an hour ago and was still there.

"Well shit, am I late? No, can't be. I made sure to come early...I think. Or was I supposed to come after a summer class." Devyn said, mostly talking to herself as she looked at the clock in the room and tried to remember when she was supposed to even come here. She caught the accent; of course Devyn heard it because she didn't miss such things. The other girl was certainly attractive in all the right ways but Dev did her best to not think on it too much or her flirt game would get too strong. Then there was the welcome and the part of it being her class; wait, this was the teacher. Oh crap was pretty much written over Devyn's face as she scratched the back of her neck and let out a small chuckle.

"Oh, your class. Well you certainly are hot, didn't think it was legally to allow teachers to look so fine when teaching even college kids." Devyn said, flirting and even tossed in a wink before behaving...a little. "Sorry about the cursing and I have no clue what you are talking about with Jets. I don't do sports." Devyn responded. Dev just assumed Jets were some kind of sport team and she didn't really do that sort of thing and was completely missing the reference to a movie. "Anyways, I'm Devyn Solway. I'm here to take that st-that test." Devyn informed her, placing a friendly smile and working to be on her best behavior to get brownie points.

[Carmelita Volpez]

Watching the girl's confusion was very entertaining. Carmelita smirked even more when the girl glanced at the clock thinking she was late. She was actually decently early, which was Nice to see. Carmelita could understand sometimes that kids could be late with others things. But this was the summer. There shouldn't be any excuse for tardiness now unless something urgent came up, and Carmelita would understand then. But other than that, she gave no mercy to the poor late souls who wandered into her classroom.

Ooo, now this kid was pretty smooth. Carmelita chuckled lightly at the small flirt, and grinned at the wink. She tilted her head to one side playfully and raised an eyebrow. "Would you rather have some elderly balding man teach you? I could set you up with a class like that if you so desired." She teased back, smirking. This kid could prove to be interesting.

Carmelita waved away the apology for swearing. "I don't mind. I know you all do it outside the classroom. I'm not going to punish you for swearing in it." She informed the girl with a light smile. And then she laughed a little at the girl's confusion over the Jets. She thought that would happen. "It's a movie reference. West Side Story. But don't worry about it." She said, dismissing it.

Devyn? Now that was an interesting name. But it seemed to fit the girl perfectly. Carmelita smiled and nodded. "I'm Carmelita Volpez. It's nice to meet you, Devyn." She said, introducing herself in turn. And then she raised an eyebrow curiously. "You mean the end of the course test?" She asked.

[Devyn Solway]

The woman; the apparent teacher, didn't confirm if she was late or not but the amused smile on her face Devyn assumed that she was fine. That and the fact that she had also pulled out the paper that told her the time the class would start and she was still early. So those other kids were just hanging out there except for those few loners that kept to themselves. Devyn was about to be one of them soon, but the teacher was hot and she had to at least get in some flirting before she did that. Plus she also just wanted to be handed the test, take it, and then leave without actually having to sit through the entire class.

She was already not a big fan of school and had made sure to pass her finals so she would not have to deal with this sort of thing, but leave it to the school to point out something she missed. "Yeah, that way I could at least hope to pay attention to the lesson and not be more concerned about checking out every angle of the teacher." Devyn said with a small smirk as she chuckled a little. That was true though, it was easier to have a not attractive teacher teaching her if they wanted to actually get through a lesson without her flirting with them.

However; most if not all of her teachers was pretty good looking so it just took them getting Devyn's respect in order to control her flirting. Devyn raised an eyebrow at the comment about not minding the cursing thing while in the classroom. She personally felt it should be the opposite since the whole 'time and place for everything' but she didn't say anything about it. It just shaped the way she was now looking at the teacher. Oh, a movie reference to something that Devyn had never heard of. She bet it was a musical, all those old school movies related to school ended up being musicals like Grease.

"Ah, I'll have to check it out then in case I'm ever called it again." Devyn said with a small nod. Plus she wanted to see if the was a complement or not, but she was assuming it was because come on she was Devyn Solway. "Nice to meet you, Miss Volpez." Devyn said as she held out a hand to shake, because that was polite. "Yeah that, was wondering if you could just give that to me now so I can take it and get out of here. I would be very, very grateful." Devyn said as she leaned in a little on the desk, giving a flirtatious smile at her last bit of words.

[Carmelita Volpez]

Carmelita could completely understand how having an unattractive teacher was beneficial for learning. You weren't as distracted and would usually try to pay attention to the board instead of the person just so you didn't have to look at them too long. However, Carmelita had also seen the benefits of having a very attractive teacher. Kids normally attended the class more regularly and even tried to impress the teacher by learning faster than others. At least, that's what had happened to Carmelita when she attended Acton vale. She swore the only reason she had made it through her chemistry class was her teacher had been so... Unf. But of course she wasn't about to tell Devyn that. "Understandable. But I usually tended to think of it as a challenge." She answered.

Carmelita herself wasn't too strict on the swearing. Sure, she could understand sporadic, accidental outbursts. It happened. However, she didn't tolerate someone who sweated like a sailor. A few swears here and there out of frustration and instinct she could overlook. A swear every three words was not only annoying but in her mind completely unnecessary. 

She smirked a little when Devyn said she'd check out the movie. Carmelita enjoyed it, but part of her didn't know if Devyn would. But then again, she shouldn't judge a book by its cover. So instead she smiled and nodded her head at Devyn's next statement. "Likewise." She returned before listening to Devyn's request. She raised an eyebrow and leaned back, tapping her fingers on her desk. It wasn't a question Carmelita was unaccustom to. Previous students at Acton vale had made similar requests of her. Some, she had agreed to, but others she had declined. Some were just impatient and wanted to try their luck. Others had actually just been unfortunate and gotten stuck in the course one way or another. But which was Devyn? "Tell me why I should, and maybe I'll consider your request." She returned in a low purr, smirking slightly. Oh, she heard the little flirty tone there, but Carmelita's response had held only tease.

[Devyn Solway]

There were both pros and cons to having attractive teacher vs a not so attractive teacher but Devyn still felt like having an attractive one was a struggle. Especially because she was a hard core flirt and would not be able to help herself but flirt a little from time to time. She thought flirting was a great complement to someone older then her, it meant they still had the looks despite however old they were. Granted she could not picture the woman in front of her that much older than herself, but honestly she had no clue.

All she knew what that this woman was a fine catch and if she didn't have a girlfriend she would have been flirting a lot harder. "Heh, I guess that is a fair way to think about it. Well then, challenge accepted." Devyn said, giving her teacher a wink. See, that was a good flirt, nothing too out of control, she could behave when flirting. That was what she was telling herself anyways. This teacher still did seem pretty cool. Laid back, attractive, and at least was not being all uptight about a student flirting with her. Devyn was legally so it was like if anything did happen, the other woman would get in trouble because of it.

Devyn went with the smooth and flirty route in order to ask for the test right away instead of having to sit through the class. It made no sense to be demanding or disrespectful when you wanted something, because that was just the dumb way to do it. Why she should? "Because I only miss out on the test because I was...feeling unstable when the test rolled around so didn't go. Then forgot to make it up until the school just reminded me of it today." Devyn informed her, just being honest. Olay, so the school sent the email a week ago, but Devyn had not checked her email for a while, so she was finding about it all pretty late.

[Carmelita Volpez]

In all honesty, Carmelita never minded when a student flirted with her. As long as they keep it under control and didn't make any too suggestive or outrageous comments. Then Carmelita would put her foot down. As much as she enjoyed witty banter laced with a bit of tease and flirtation with her students, romancing was a whole other story. She wasn't about to be wooed in her classroom. For a number of obvious reasons.

Still, this girl seemed to be pretty smooth and creative with her flirts. She was controlling herself nicely, and didn't seemed to be afraid of the whole banter. Carmelita could certainly appreciate that, even if the girl was probably a few years younger than her. Then again, Carmelita never really believed in the whole age difference thing- within reason of course. However, she was not one for actually trying to seduce one of her students. Which was why she mostly kept to flirts and teases, as always. "Good attitude." She praised with a smirk.

Carmelita could feel a bit of sympathy run through her when the girl mentioned she had been somewhat 'unstable.' The blonde had seen a few troubled kids back at Acton Vale. A lot of things could go on in high school, especially when the kids attending it all had powers that could either kill the child wielding it or someone else half of the time. Add that to raging hormones and the general stress that came with school, and you had a pretty dangerous and tense situation. So she could understand Devyn a bit. But she couldn't just go too easy on her. Carmelita went silent for a bit before shutting his eyes and exhaling slowly. She ran her fingers through her hair before opening her eyes again and leaning forward, elbows on her desk and her hands clasped together.

"Alright. Here's what I'll do." She started. "I believe you, actually. I've taught at Acton Vale before this, so I know that things can get a little... Stressful around these schools sometimes. So I'll give you the test. However," she added with a raised eyebrow, "I'm going to give you a slightly- and I only mean slightly- harder test to really judge if you know this information. I'll have to hand make it, so you can come in tomorrow and I'll give it to you. Sound like a deal?" She asked with a faint smirk

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn just kept the smirk on her face when the teacher praised her for having a good attitude on having accepted the challenge of having an attractive teacher. It honestly should not have been that hard of a challenge so long as she was allowed to go with her plan of taking the test and leaving. She would be too focused on trying to make sure she did well on the test instead of checking the teacher out in an effort to not have to deal with taking the class a few days during her summer break. She had plans, well nothing set in stone but she wanted to get Vera off of campus a few more time before the semester would start up again and the two of them would be really busy again.

Dev was not lying about being unstable, she had been for practically a year after Zoe had broken up with her and just too many bad things that followed or came soon after it. She had hurt herself and almost others with her power and she gotten to the point where she didn't want to be here anymore. She had almost left BA, but a few of her friends staff, and Vera had helped changed that and allowed her to have the desire to stay. The teacher seemed to understand, or at least she looked like she understood and was taking what Devyn said to heart. Dev was pleased about that because she disliked it when people assumed she told lies just because she was one of those 'bad girls'.

Carmelita then laid out the deal she was willing to make with Devyn, and while Dev didn't like that she was going to have to wait a day for the test and that it was going to be harder, it was a pretty good deal. Granted the whole slightly harder just meant the test was going to be harder, Dev did not believe in the slightly thing when it came to school work. That just meant tonight she was going to have to force herself to cram. Perhaps she could get Vera to give her a reward and punishment while she studies. That thought made Devyn daydream for it for a small moment before she recalled that she still had to say something.

"Don't really have a choice but to accept that deal. Does that mean I'm free to leave now or do you still want me to come to this first class?" Devyn asked, since that was the most important thing to ask at the moment. She supposed she would not die if she had to stay for the first class, but she was not making any promises that she was going to be paying attention to the teacher at least not the teachers words.

[Carmelita Volpez]

Carmelita never had a thing against the so called 'bad kids.' They might've dressed like they were tough as nails and rebellious, but some of them were actually quite nice. Carmelita had learned that sometimes looks were very, very deceiving. A child who looked sweet and innocent could turn out to be the most wretched student of all. On the flip side, a 'bad kid' could turn out to be the nicest person she would ever meet. Nice enough to sacrifice themselves to save the fake innocent kid from a burning building. But no, she wasn't going to get into those memories again. Bring it back Carmelita.

Caremlita watched as Devyn mulled over her deal. What the blonde said was true. She honestly did believe Devyn and she was willing to give the girl a chance. Of course, she had to make a completely different test for the girl so there would be no possible way for the others in he class to attempt to cheat off of her. Carmelita knew that Devyn would no doubt be bombarded with inquires if Carmelita gave her the actual test. That why her makeup tests were always different from the real ones. Cut back on cheating.

Carmelita laughed lightly at Devyn's answer. "Not really, no." She remarked drily, smirking widely in amusement. At the girl's question, Carmelita blinked and looked around. Most of her other students had returned to the classroom and were taking out binders and notebooks to get ready to take notes. The blonde turned her gaze to the clock, before looking back at Devyn and smiling sweetly, her head tilted to the side slightly. "Well, you have approximately one minute to head out the door before class starts and I expect all my students in their seats and ready to learn." She cooed teasingly. She really couldn't help it

[Devyn Solway]

"Thought so, well then guess we have a deal then." Devyn said as she chuckled a little. There was no way around it and she supposed it was better to have to wait a day, take the test, and then be free of the class after. Compared to having to take it for about a week, take a test, and then be done with it so long as she passed. Devyn honestly was not worried that she was not going to pass it or anything, she rarely failed a test. When she did it was mostly because she didn't show up for whatever reason, feel asleep, or just didn't feel like it when the test would not have a huge effect on her grade.

She had always been the kid that was fine getting a C- when her father died and that was how she still felt. In the past she did try had and wanted to be the best, but that seemed like so long ago now as Devyn thought back on it. Then there was the confusing information on how Devyn had a minute before the class started. Did that mean she had one minute to run out of the room in order to not to have to take the class? Then the next comment kind of meant that she was expected to be there since she was a student. Damn, confusing words were eating up her time so she just went to grab her seat. "Don't throw anything at me; I might try to play fetch with it." Devyn responded as she moved to grab her seat.

The location was the same she took in most of her class, in the back and near the window or the door for a quick escape. This time it was by the window since most of the other kids seemed to take the whole 'close to the door' tactic. Thankfully a lot of the student took up the front seats since they wanted to be nice and close to the teacher. Devyn leaned back in her chair, ready to learn. Or more so ready to watch the teacher teach while she daydreamed.

[Carmelita Volpez]

Carmelita smirked slightly as Devyn agreed to the deal. She really didn't have a choice, to be honest. But Carmelita was glad the girl didn't complain too much about it. Carmelita hated kids who whined, especially when she was doing them a favor. Luckily, that had only happened on two occasions back in Acton Vale. She had dealt with each accordingly, and stayed firm in what she said.

Carmelita had to admit she was surprise when Devyn got up and didn't head for the door, but her seat instead. The blonde chuckled at the comment, and watched her take her seat with a faint smirk. That one was certainly an odd one, but Carmelita didn't mind one bit. She seemed like one of the nice 'bad-girls.' Part of Carmelita wondered if she had a boyfriend already. Or a girlfriend for that matter. Somehow, the blonde could see the girl with another girl. But maybe that was just Carmelita being biased. Oh well, time for class.

The moment the clock changed, Carmelita stood up and smacked her paper lightly on the desk to get everyone's attention. She smiled warmly once her class was looking and nodded. "Hello! My name is Carmelita Volpez, and I will be your professor for this course. Now, this course, as most of you know, is on the nature of electrons and electricity. It will be a fairly short course- only a few weeks. At the end, there will be a final exam to see if you have learned the material..." Carmelita continued her general introduction before going into what she wanted to cover for that day. As she had planned, she just wanted to go over the different specific topics they would cover over the span of the course. Since it was so short, they were going to stay on schedule to a T.

The students paid attention for the most part, but Carmelita didn't blame them this time if their minds wandered. It wasn't vitally important information, and she wasn't going into more than that for the day. So eventually she came to the closing end of her little lecture. "That will be all for today. Mind you, class normally goes on for longer, but I wanted to just spend today laying out what we were going to be doing for this course. I expect all of you to arrive on time and to be ready to learn when you come into this class from now on. We don't have too much time to go over this information, so I'm going to stay on track. If you aren't able to make it to class, talk to your classmates for notes. You're free to go." She said, erasing the board as most of the students left. Now all she wanted was to go home and finish unpacking her things.

[Devyn Solway]

Devyn most certainly had a girlfriend, but she also had her fair share of boyfriends and girlfriends in the past. She could not help but to like both because there was just something about both genders that was way to fun to not experience. The bodies reacted differently but the same on some levels and she just loved it all, but she was being a good Devyn now. No more open relationships and while she flirted with other people still, it was all about Vera. At least that was what Devyn was trying to do because she really did love the girl with everything in her, but she still could not help her old habits all the time.

Especially when she still had fear of the relationship only lasting a few months and then Vera no longer loving her. Like how all of her other relationships ended when she came to love someone with every fiber in her being. Would be fun to wrap my fingers all up in that hair. She looks like she would be the type who I could sleep with right in this classroom. Right on her desk after casually asking for some more help after class. Bad brain, focus on what she is talking about. Devyn thought to herself, an all too familiar flirtatious and 'up to something' smirk on her face as she watched the teacher teach.

Thankfully she caught herself before her mind kept going any farther with such thoughts that she should not be having. However; once she was no longer day dreaming, her headed ended up on her desk and by the end of the class she was sleepy soundly. She didn't even stir as people started to get up and leave; which was normally her que, but she was out of it. Thankfully she didn't store but she was clearly asleep by the way she was almost curled up on her desk and not moving while everyone else was leaving or lingering around only a little bit.

[Carmelita Volpez]

Carmelita wasn't sure when she had lost the interest in chiseled chests and rough skin to find gentle curves and smooth skin more appealing. It might've been at the very beginning, to be honest. She could only remember one time when she had kissed a boy. He was good looking, don't get her wrong, and just about every girl in school fawned over him- even Mariana! And yet... Carmelita had felt nothing. Nothing when he started trying to woo her. Nothing when he took her on dates. Nothing when he had kissed her. It had just seemed so hollow with boys. There was nothing at all that drew her to them. But girls... That had been different. She knew something was up when she had wanted to spend more time with the boy's sister than him. And then one thing led to another and she somehow ended up kissing his sister out on the beach when they had been going off to get drinks from a restaurant. That's when she knew that she was into girls, and eventually told Carlos.

Now she didn't flaunt her orientation around. Hell, a lot of people probably thought she was bi or just a very flirty heterosexual. She loved flirting, even with guys when she knew it would go nowhere in the end. Although she did tend to tease men more than flirt. But still, she mostly kept her orientation under wraps unless directly asked about it. Then she'd confess without hesitation. She wasn't showing it off, but she wasn't one to hide it.

During her talk, she would glance up every now and again and find Devyn, with some sort of smirk on her face that made Carmelita's eyebrow twitch up in curiosity and her lips quirk with amusement before her eyes would return to the board. Just what is that look? What are you thinking about with a smirk like that, Devyn? She wondered in slight amusement. It was an expression that definitely said 'I'm up to something'. But what exactly remained a mystery. Curiosity and the cat... Carmelita mused internally with a small smile before continuing.

After she finished erasing the board, she turned around to find her room empty. Mostly. There was one figure remaining in the room , and Carmelita couldn't help but smirk as she recognized Devyn. Normally she should be pissed, but she was in a good mood and the girl seemed nice. Carmelita silently approached her, considering how to wake her. Should I be gentle or rough? Hmmm... Oh, I shouldn't be so cruel. After all, she does have that test tomorrow. Caremlita decided before placing a hand on Devyn's shoulder and shaking her a little. "Hey. Wake up~." She sang, giggling a bit. "Class is over."

[Devyn Solway]

Oh no doubt the teacher saw the look that Devyn was giving to her, because she made no effort to try and hide it. Hey, she could not help what her eyes and mind were up to but she did try to keep them from going too far. She had to be a good girl after all, not wanting to upset her girlfriend and all of that jazz. Still, Carmelita was teaching so Dev was not worried about being called out on it and even if she was she would have played it off oh so smoothly. That was just the kind of person she was and likely always would be at least until she fully settled down with Vera and knew in her mind that Vera was not going to stop loving her.

The lesson and the teacher soon became a thing of a dream; literally, since Devyn ended up falling right to sleep. It was not that the lesson was boring, she was just tired, and that the lesson held no interest for her. Okay, so perhaps that did mean that she found it boring that it was mainly outlining what they were going to learn but none of it concerned her. She already knew that she was going to do well on the test so didn't feel the need to pay attention to a class she was not going to end up taking anyways. She was nice and comfortable too, likely not to wake up for at least an hour or so or if her phone buzzed in her pocket.

Instead she felt a hand touch her shoulder, causing her to let out a low growl before she fully moved to look up with her head. Why did anyone think it was a good idea to shake a sleeping beast, she had no clue. Thankfully Devyn tended to check before she went all 'bite' and what have you on someone. "Mmmm...you smell nice. Wait, what?" Devyn said, smirking a little before she blinked a few times and fully sat up. Looking around for a moment, she then stretched back, and let out a big yawn while she was at it. "Oh, so it is. Sorry about that, my body still tends to want to sleep during the day." Devyn responded with an apologetic look as she looked to the teacher.

"Did you want to see me after class or something?" Dev then added, teasing a little as she moved to stand up with another stretch. It was just too perfect of a question to just let slip away, so she had asked it. Of course it could have been used better had it been set up properly, but you had to work with what you had.
