Zoe's Office Hours - June 14

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe sat in her office, glancing back and forth between the two screens on her desk - soccer on one, and video feeds on the other. Sometimes, multitasking skills were extremely helpful.

The door is open for anyone who needs her.

After Peter & Sakurazaki

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Returning from the Pizza Planet, Cameron had bought a tub of Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream for the principal. It wasn't so much sucking up as showing appreciation, really. Sort of. He knocked on the doorframe.

Zoe looked up and smiled when she saw Cameron. "Well, hello there. What brings you here on this lovely afternoon?"

"No detention or pranking, ma'am" Cameron said quickly. "Just dessert."

Re: After Peter & Sakurazaki

Zoe perked up as though "dessert" was a magic word. "Oh? What's the occasion?"

Cameron didn't realise he needed an occasion. So he made one up. "Happy principal day, ma'am," he said as he put the brown bag with tub and spoon on a clear part of the desk.

"Oh, ice cream!" Zoe laughed, smiling up at him. "Happy principal day indeed. Thank you."

"It also might be an apology for landing my ass in detention, ma'am," Cameron added.

Re: After Peter & Sakurazaki

"You don't need to apologize for that, honestly," Zoe replied. "You're a teenage boy, and teenage boys do stupid things and get into trouble, it's all very normal as far as I know."

Cameron considered this for a moment. "I don't suppose I can quote you on this in the future, ma'am?"

Re: After Peter & Sakurazaki

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Perhaps you should use the full quotation: 'Teenage boys do stupid things and get into trouble; it's all very normal, as is the detention and punishment they receive for their actions.'"

Cameron laughed. "You're probably right, ma'am. It wouldn't do to leave that part out, it'd be too easy to abuse."

"That was a valiant attempt at trickery though. I almost feel sorry for your teachers if you try to catch them the same way." Zoe snickered.

"I know you wouldn't fall for it, ma'am. But I'll try to give the teachers a break," Cameron said with a grin. "I should let you enjoy your ice cream in peace."

Re: After Peter & Sakurazaki

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe just barely resisted the urge to roll her eyes at the sucking up. "I'm sure I'll enjoy the ice cream very much. Thank you."

Cameron nodded and for some reason ended up saluting Zoe. "Happy principal day, ma'am," he said before slipping out of the office.
