Thread: Overneath the Path of Misinterpretation (Alvis Alendran&Malicious Lullaby)

She noted the change in his tone and she breathed a sigh of relief when he confirmed she wasnt even fired. In fact, she was surprised as hell to have gotten a raise and it stunned her into silence that before she even knew, the call had ended. It took her a moment to finally pull her phone from her ear to stare at it before she shut it and tucked it into her pocket. It took her even a few more moments before she heard Esther. Esther, who had finally calmed herself down, walked into the kitchen and she leaned her hip and shoulder against the corner of the wall, in entry of the kitchen. Mal? The girl turned with her full wine glass in her hands and she smiled a tentative smile. You good? Esther asked. Mallory simply nodded and pushed the other wine glass into Esthers hands and watched her take a sip. Be ready for tomorrow. Esther looked at Mallory while she took a big gulp of her wine, pushing it down her throat and she tilted her head. Whats tomorrow other than Saturday? An appointment. For? You. Me? Yes, I called my boss. At this point, Esther took another sip of her wine just as Mallory said that and she nearly spluttered the divine liquid and almost dribbled it down her chin. You what? She asked, after swallowing. Why? Because its what friends do. So shut up, drink your wine and we are to be at Caf Noir. He said 1230 sharp but well get there around noon, or even a little earlier. She said it with much pride and confidence in her voice. Yeah, because she was no longer talking to her boss. Shit. Esther murmured and she simply downed the rest of her wine, shoving the now empty wine glass towards Mallory who got the obvious notion of refilling. After another large gulp, Esther nodded her head slowly. I owe you. She finally said after a good couple minutes of stunned silence. Mallory snorted. Yeah, you bet your cute little ass, you do. Esther managed a weak smile and she sipped her wine. They both went out for dinner and by the time they came home, it was well time for bed. Both girls retired to bed but Esther hardly slept. She might have fallen asleep finally at around four in the morning and had her alarm set at eight. Four hours of sleep. So when the morning came, she was up before Mallory, already dressed and showered and had her kindle on the kitchen table where she sat in front of, having her third cup of coffee. She hated coffee. But she only drank it when she needed instant caffeine. She needed the caffeine if she was going to get through today, already freaking out. It just became that more real that she had been suspended from her job. She was still down in the dumps but trying to see the optimistic side in all of this. She had an appointment to meet with a rep from the firm alongside Mallory and if things went well, she just might have a job to go back to. She hoped so. She was too young to have her career ruined because of a spiteful student who didnt like rejection. She thought she escaped high school. Unfortunately, teaching in one didnt mean she was free from the everyday bullshit that occurred. And because she was a teacher, she was as involved as any student might be.
