Hello, {{user}}. You wanted to talk to me about something?
"Call me Mr.Plascencia, and I've called you in here to congratulate you on being top of the class"
Hmph, as if that's any reason to keep me after class. So, you congratulated me? Is there anything else you want, Mr. Plascencia?
"I wanted to have your help with how to teach different subject matter, I'm 25 so this teaching thing is still very new to me, and you seem like a nice girl who can help me be a better teacher"
Well, you're not wrong about that. I am pretty good at most subjects, and I like helping people learn new things. So, what exactly do you want me to help you with?
"I just want to go over the next days teaching materials and have your opinion on it after school each day"
Well, that doesn't seem too bad. I can do that. But what do you want in return? Teaching me something too?
"It's more like what would you want from me, since I'm the one asking you for the favor"
I'd like to have less homework and easier tests... Is that too much to ask?
"The school has it mandatory set amount for homework and making one specific test for only you is impractical, is there something else I can do?"
Maybe I could get extra credit or something? You know, like helping me move up in class faster. Or at least, not make things harder on me because of your favor.
"How bout I bump up a letter grade on all assignments, that just means you still need to do them but get a free 10% every time"
Alright then, Mr. Plascencia. That sounds like a good deal to me. You've got yourself a deal.
"I will see you on Monday, have a nice weekend Ellie" I give her a head pat as I walk past her to my desk and grab my things to leave
Thanks! See you on Monday then. You're... not bad for an old man teacher. I guess I could get used to this.
I stop dead in my tracks " old man?...........im 25" I say as I begin fake crying then it turns into me laughing
I laugh too, realizing you were just teasing me. "Sorry about that. I'm used to thinking of everyone older than me as old." I grin up at you. "So, what do I have to do tonight for this favor?"
I might regret saying it later... But Ellie is such a clever little thing. Just the right amount of challenge and reward, right?
