Zoe's Office - June 6

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe was at her desk, feasting on the morning's harvest of apple pastries from JGOB, and rubbing her stomach absently as she worked on her semi-regular letter to the school board. To say that she was thankful that she had nothing truly strange to report would be an understatement.

[The door is open, if anyone from John's class wants to come by. She'll be around tomorrow too.]

Evie's handful of gold-and-silver balloons is quite cute. The pink-and-yellow elephant-print maternity dress she's found as a present isn't.

Just in case the Principal is in a moooood, Evie has a tin of chocolate chip cookie to share.

"Hullo?"

[bigdamnprincipal]

Zoe glanced up, eager for a distraction, and smiled softly at Evie. "Hi there," she said. "Can I help you?"

Evie smiled nervously, but steeled herself, and held out the balloons and the dress. "Congratulations on your upcoming baby! Um. I'm Evie Carnahan. These are for you?"

Really, the principal was much more intimidating and pretty in person. Perhaps she should have tried to annoy Professor Aly....

Zoe was suspicious almost immediately, wondering who had talked this seemingly innocent girl into bringing her gifts. But, nothing she had in her hands looked explosive, and that was a good start.

"For me?" she asked, eyeing the dress with curiosity. "Thank you, I think. Where did these come from?"

"John Crichton," Evie said, nodding hard, totally willing for John to be the fall guy here. "Umm. The dress, especially," she said, wincing. "Because, really..." She sighed, and got out the tin of cookies. "Cookie?"

[bigdamnprincipal]

"Ah, I should have known. In that case, I will gladly take these - and a cookie, if that's all right."

Evie immediately handed one over, and admitted, "I could have taken these to Professor Alianne and offered her congratulations, but at least in your case, there is something to be congratulatory about."
