Lesson Plan Chapter 2
Chapter 2 Excitement
The feeling of warmth and confidence overwhelms me on this monday afternoon, everything was going according to plan. nailing the interview is my victory for today, the nerves is gone, and my tail can finally stop bristling out. celebrating is considerable but i don't want to go crazy with it, especially starting the course in a couple of days. so maybe drinking maybe be passable but still need to prepare, i damn sure don't know what to expect at Devonshire Academy. Maybe a drink will soothe me better, a few blocks from the school was beer, wine and liquor shop called 'Myrtle Shots'.
once inside my muzzle twitched as i caught a mixture of different scents. skunk, ringtails and canine maybe, anyway i saw a brand my sister recommended to me a month back, called 'pink moscato'.Nothing wrong with trying new things, once i examined it, it was off to the cashier.
"hello.........is anywhere there"
*Cough...Cough* "hold on , on my way"
A short tan colored corgi, wearing a blue v-neck shirt, he was so short that he could have been wearing no pants and i would have never known. but i dare not wanting to find out, around his muzzle was little particles of food or something. still i don't want to know.
"sorry for that i was eeehh busy with something, uhhh ID yes, do you got an ID on ya"
"yes i do" i said pulling my card from my wallet.
i kinda get a feeling he was checking out my dress attire or the body that's in it, i felt his eyes beaming on me, i look back up to him and handed my card to the clerk as he flashed me a smile. maybe customer courtesy or something, i don't know.
"wow this is you, kinda young"
"ahhh thank you"
"anyway it's eighteen dollars and ninety five cents sir, will it be plastic or dead presidents"
"haha that's clever, but uh plastic i'm a little short" i replied but dwelling the comment hoping i did not offend him. instead i get a pleasant smile from him.
i smiled back and thanked him, on my way out i saw a leopard with green eyes in a black business suit coming in, i walked out first and held the door open for him. he shows his thanks by not only failing to grab the door handle but runs his paw through my tail not paying attention. i reacted by gasping as the leopard looked down.
"i'm so sorry i thought i grabbed the handle"
"its ok dont worry about it"
"i know it's just that it's the same color as the handle"
" yeah how about that, have a good one"
"yeah you too" said the leopard as he starts browsing the chardonnays
"huh" last time i checked my tail wasn't made of metal, who knows maybe he was copping a feel for wolf tail instead of the handle bar. nothing else on the agenda, guess i go back to the apartment to unwind.
Half an hour later in the apartment, my cell phone was ringing. it was a buddy of mine, whom i met in high school and went to the same college. Clason the open minded kangaroo with his head on straight, the thing i respected most about him was that he wasn't as adamant as other people in terms of my sexuality. clason is more like 'everyone is different and whatever floats your boat', that and he didnt cared for the judgmental types. also whenever we went to functions or social gatherings with additional friends, they would gawk and stare at the hottest woman that walks by. i would be looking else where, he actually caught me starring at some hot male cheetah in tight pants.that kangaroo knew i was gay but treated me no different. he whispered in my ear "go talk to him" and would look in his eyes in fear, that's when he told me he was cool with me. still i thought i was being careful, his nickname for me was shadow because i was dark furred and was quiet as a cat.
"good evening shadow, how did your interview go"
"still calling me shadow i see"
"of course, you sure there's no feline traits in your gene pool"
"Noooooope, not if i start meowing. but it went really well, the principal was this hot tiger"
"tsk tsk, already messing up. did you hear the words coming out his mouth or was you too busy thinking about, if his suit was any tighter his chest would pop out, showing you some stripes"
savoring the thought for a moment. "i was professional"
"riiiiiight professional like how he would pound that tail of yours"
"Clason !!!"
"seriously you need to find you a nice guy, all work and no play isn't good for you"
laying on my sofa in the living room, lingering about that subject for a moment. but i have to patient, let love come to you right.
"yeah i know but...."
"but nothing, i don't want you by yourself all the time. you're too good a person, someone will appreciate and love you for you"
"i will work on it clason, i promise"
"Great, your going to do well at that academy"
"thanks"
"sooooooooo.....when do you start professor kani"
" you're funny i'm not a professor, just a teacher. any way i start wednesday"
"well you will do fine, no worries. gotta go though i'm on break and wanted to check on you, have a good night. i'll call you tomorrow, go out for a bite to eat or something"
"cool i'm down for it"
After pushing the end call button, the reflection of the conversation sits on my mind heavily. Anyways it was time to relax. i needed to shower and eat, the leftover stir fry vegetables and tilapia from yesterday is still good. accompanied with the moscato is even better, Wednesday is going to be here before i know it, and i must be ready for the task at hand. i'm an educator, the molder of fresh minds. this is not going to be easy that i know, but i can't give up when i have so much to offer. the view of the evening skyline over the buildings to keep me in a tranquil state of mind.
