Tessa slept on a tree outside the 5th grade wing, the teachers had gotten so used to her being on campus without being in class that no-one payed attention to her. She listened half heartedly to the things the students inside the classrooms were learning. The teacher had a small child up to the board it seems, to do one of those math problems that always started out the day. Since she'd settled there the sun had changed position in the sky and was now glaring right at hr face, which was a very unwelcome feeling, and uncommon weather. She shifted about so that her face was out of the sun. Her baggy long sleeve caught itself on a little nub in the bark, makings her turn herself so that she could uncatch herself, letting her legs fall on either side of the branch. The next kid had come up to the board for another set of math problems. She felt kinda sorry for them, that they had to suffer through the teachers lectures while she slept in the oak outside the window. But they could just do what she did right? Stupid kids. So with that she tried to go back to sleep. Well that'd be if the damned rodent that lived in the tree hadn't thrown an acorn at her head the moment she was about to doze off. Thank you, she though, and got herself, up, jumping to the next branch and then the next till she was above the squirrel for a while. Of course the squirrel was a relentless creature and drove her back lower. In the end she closed her eyes and vainly tried to doze off while being hit with a barrage of acorns from above. the las thing she was going to do for that squirrel is leave. As much as she loved squirrels this one was especially unforgiving today. The bell rang loudly and soon enough groups of students were flowing out of their classrooms. The squirrel scampered over to the students, having been on of those tamed school squirrels that begs for food from the little children stupid enough to feed it.Unable to get any sort of rest Tessa sat up quietly and watched from her perch. A few kids threw a glance her way, but around here she was just a facet of life. |
