Lesson Plan Chapter 6
Chapter 6: T.G.I.F.
Though it's friday, and this is my third day here i'm still thankful for it. walking through the second floor corridor, twenty five minutes before class. a large tiger figure leaves a room, and catches sight of me and a long tiger smile appear on his shorter muzzle.
"Good morning Mr Kani, i see you're no longer rocking that strawberry dipped tail no more"
i can't help but to smile. " yeah it was a little honest mistake with a student"
"a student got rough with you"
" no of course not".
i explained the story to the principal in which his grin gets wider with each detail, then it was off the class. today's lesson was pretty simple was pretty simple as i taught the student the concept of shadowing, even providing them an example as i drew a sketch using a canvas board. two boxes in three dimension with shadow coming from the sides, which also got the whole class interested
Greg raised his paw. "yes mr Kani"
"soooo we're not painting our tails today?"
that got a few laughs from a few students, even the tigress who sprayed me was blushing
"sorry mr Kani" she replied
" no worries"
we proceeded the lesson. after the session i reviewed the assignment and graded papers. then it was off to the lounge, i felt a buzz from my phone and noticed i got a missed call from clason. fresh air would be nice, so it was off to the designated smoking area. the school didn't really have one, it was just off school grounds as i gave him a call.
"sup clason what's going on"
"oh is now a good time for you"
" yeah i'm on break so whats up"
" i was wondering you want to go and get a drink with me tonight"
"sure i don't got nothing plan"
"great ok i can pick you up at 7pm, i don't want to take up all your break time"
"ok see you then"
the same procedures were performed in my eleventh grade class, when it was time for the students to do their assignments. i noticed the leopard in the corner was staring into space. looking very.....lost. everyone stared the project except him. my footpaws clicked against the floor as i made my way to him.
"Hey Amir are you ok"
the leopard looked at me, as though his mind was being weighed down by bricks
" oh it's not i uhm....yeah"
"that wasn't even a complete sentence you sure you're ok"
"yes sir"
amir started to work along with everyone else, then he started to wonder off again. after class i had to talk to him. it was fortunate that he was the last student to leave. but i prevented him temporary .
"Amir are you feeling ok"
the leopard reached a paw to scratch his neck
"ok i guess"
"you sure....cause you can talk to me if you want, is there troubles here....or maybe at home perhaps"
Amir's tail flicked when i mentioned home, which pretty much confirmed my answer.
"it's ok Mr. kani....just not my day you know"
The leopard gave me a faint grin then went off to his next class, it's best not to push but I'll keep a watchful eye over his behavior.
Returning home a little after five, figured i stay later at the academy to offer tutoring for those who think they need it. plus it would get me on good terms with the rest of the staff. clason insisted i'd go with him for drinks, but after a few days of teaching a drink or two won't be that bad plus it's friday. an hour later i heard a knock at the door, so rising up from the couch to answer it and open to see a seven foot tall kangaroo holding his crotch.
"i'm so sorry man, i gotta go....i gotta go"
moments later though i didn't want to but he sounded like he was pissing a river. then flushing, followed by washing hands under the faucet. he looks down to see a bag of spray paint cans.
"Geez shadow..... you want to tag up some places after we drink. hell of a way to start the weekend"
"what those.... no that was for one of my lessons for class".
"ohh hah where were you when i was taking art class".
"most likely sitting next to you or in some history class."
"so we can head out now if you want"
" sounds good to me, where we headin"
"place called Angel's Lift"
"sounds fancy"
"it's a very casual upscale place kinda like a lounge"
We arrived at the lounge a quarter after seven and we took fifteen minutes to find parking, it was way better then clubbin where you have to wait forever to get in, door guided by a muscle bound jock of a bouncer mostly a bear, bull or tiger to judge to see if your worthy enough to get inside. this place wasn't like that, it was nice colored wooden floor specifically greyish-blue. rust colored sofas and single chairs a few loveseats, and they were all in round groups with a coffee colored tables. the walls were a platted glass with lights behind them forming blue silhouettes of what appears to be clouds. we took our seats , the single chairs facing each other with a table between us.
"this is nice, you sure this isn't someones home"
"you kiddin of course not..... i took a couple of girls here."
soon as he said that a server a slender male skunk
"hey there mr. clason welcome back the usual Corona and a Bahama Mama for your........date?" said the server with a raised brow in my direction
"oh no he's just a friend of mine"
"okay cool, i dont judge, Im not like that. it caught me off guard i always see you here with panthress or wolfess...hehe sorry"
"it's fine, but i'll still have a Corona"
"Great and for you sir"
" Uh I'll have a margarita" i reply trying to hold my laugh
"oh i would recommend the lemonade margarita it's addictive"
"ok I'll try it"
the server then scurries to the bar.
"Heh you.... my date, your great and all but your too flat chested for me haha anyways, So how are you liking that academy so far.?"
"teh i guess i can keep my junk and still have big breasts to get you huh."
"your such a smart ass"
our drinks come, brought to us by the server skunk "enjoy guys"
"so how was your week"
"really well, i haven't ran into a few bad apples yet, some smart mouths. it was also kinda funny i dragged my tail across the chalkboard looking like i was part skunk. Also a student sprayed my tail with spray paint"
"you brought spray paint to school and you get sprayed. ha"
"it was an accident, things do happen you know."
were done with our drinks and clason wants to keep it light since he's the designated driver, but another drink sent to me before i can make a call. the server gesture to the leopard with green eyes. sitting on the stool by the counter wearing jeans and a brown henley shirt.
"that gentleman over paid for another margarita"
"oh wow..." i gave the leopard a smile and raised a glass showing thanks as he raised his back in return.
"hmmm seems like you have a fan"
" i noticed, he looks familiar but not quite sure how."
"you should talk to him"
nervousness rashes as he said that so nonchalant and suave
"yeah but how he knows i'm single or gay for that matter"
"well i may have left out one detail about this place"
now my glare towards the kangaroo is strong as if i can blind him with a glance, keeping quiet as he speaks.
"this place is also gay friendly, remember i told you there's someone out there for everyone"
"you set me up"
"yeah to help you, now stop stalling"
"how does he know i'm not with you"
" i see that leopard in here quite frequently and i'm always with ladies, plus i show affection to them, am I showing affection to you now."
he makes a valid point though i want to show him something right now, the finger in the middle of my paw.
"no your not"
"bing bong hello..... stop stalling and mingle, wave your big fluffy black tail around"
"i don't know"
" you better go before i start jabbing you with my tail, and kangaroos have strong tails" he said waving his tail around in front of me preparing to strike. getting up quickly i walked over to the leopard waving his tail lazily to the side of his leg. i took a seat on the stool next to him.
"hey there thanks for the drink, uhm...."
"Raymond, its a pleasure and your..."
"Alister, but you can call me Ali if you want"
"i like that name" he said sporting a shiny toothed grin.
"this has been lingering on my mind but have we met before you seem familiar"
"not so sure....." the leopard then gazes at my tail and his expression beams " wait your that wolf from the liquor store am I right".
"oh thats right your the one that grabbed my tail on the way out"
Raymond blushes madly " hehe yeah i had my attention elsewhere I'm afraid"
a barked laugh appeared on my muzzle and then the ice was broken, we talked about where we was from to what we did for a living. apparently we both liked to travel and see new things,video games and also movies including this movie that's based on a video game title but we both thought the console version is better. it was a nice fifteen minute chat.
"it was nice meeting you, i hope i didn't take too much time away from your friend over there"
"it's ok he's a very patient kangaroo" i replied while turning to see him from my peripheral vision.
"uhm if you like, i don't like rushing into it but.....is cool that we can get together sometime, maybe catch a movie if you like" his tail is stroking mine back and forth making me weak in the knees as i stare into his green eyes, warm breath hitting my fur, smelling his scent stronger in person.
"i would like that"
"excellent"
from there we exchange numbers, and text each other to make sure they're not fakes. were both happen to be free tomorrow saturday evening, and i agreed to catch a movie with him, that went better than i expected thinking as i scurry back to clason's table.
"geez wolf i thought you might of been interviewing him about a job or something, so did you get the digits"
" what makes you think i got his number"
"from the tail wrestling you guys were doing, it look like the kitty was winning"
"dick, you act as if we were screwing on the bar table"
"says the guy, who's first word out his mouth is..... dick"
I kept quiet at the comment as clason smirks as if he won the argument, in this case we do and he takes me back home feeling a little tipsy. clason offers to walk me upstairs in this case he did, and thanked him for it more than once.once he took me to my door he bid farewell, right before telling me. "i would like to see you full on drunk especially with your potential boyfriend hehe". i gave him the finger with a smile and went inside.
