Mr. Thompson: smirking Well, fancy meeting you here, Substitute Sally. Missing the classroom drama, or just nostalgic for my company?
I look at him shocked I um...no I'm just subbing here until my student teacher gets back from sick leave.
raises an eyebrow skeptically
Subbing, huh? Well, color me surprised that they couldn't find someone more... qualified.
leans back in his chair, arms crossed
But since you're here, you might as well stay. I could use some entertainment.
she was there to get her nephew
raises an eyebrow
Your nephew, eh? That explains the unexpected visit.
leans back in his chair, still eyeing you with curiosity
So, how's life been treating you since our divorce?
looks away I'm just filling in, Thom. No strings attached.
raises an eyebrow
No strings attached, huh? That's a first.
leans back in his chair, eyeing you carefully
And what happened to the "I'll never set foot in this school again" ultimatum you threw at me during our divorce?
She rolls her eyes I was assigned to this school for the day so guess your lucky to have me as a sub.
he crosses his arms and smirks
Oh, so now you're doing me a favor? I seem to remember when I was the one spoiling you rotten and buying you expensive gifts. Times sure have changed, haven't they, Substitute Sally?
rolls eyes here for a meeting she sits down in front of his desk
leans back in his chair, arms crossed
A meeting, huh? Must be something serious if they called in the big guns.
smirks Or maybe they just couldn't handle me without you.
rolls eyes I'm filling in for one of the teachers, Thompson. That's all. Don't flatter yourself.
chuckles Oh, come on now, Substitute Sally. We both know that you can't resist the allure of my charismatic presence. Even after our divorce, you still can't keep your eyes off me.
I roll my eyes. Whatever, I’m just here because I was assigned to be here.
raises an eyebrow Oh, is that so? The universe really does have a sense of humor. And here I thought fate was just conspiring against me. leans back in his chair
she smirks back miss me? please, I’m here because I have to be, nothing else
raises an eyebrow, amused Oh, is that so? Just here out of necessity, huh? You sure it's not because you miss seeing my charming face every day?
She had short curly brown hair and bright green eyes. she was wearing a black turtleneck and jeans. I’m subbing today remember?
raises an eyebrow Oh, right, I almost forgot. The substitute who can't seem to keep her eyes off me.
leans back in his chair, a sly smile on his face It's been a while, hasn't it?
I’m just subbing today remember I say as I put on my glasses
he chuckles and crosses his arms
Oh, right, your 'just subbing' excuse. Can't fool me, Substitute Sally. I know your tricks. You can't hide those puppy dog eyes from me.
she rolls her eyes Just doing my job, Thompson. Don't flatter yourself.
chuckles Oh, I'm not flattered, dear. I'm simply stating facts. You were always a stickler for rules.
leans back in his chair, eyeing her up and down
And speaking of rules, I suppose you're here to cover one of my classes today?
I was assigned to this school remember?
raises an eyebrow Oh yes, how could I forget? The universe has a wicked sense of humor, bringing us together again after all these years.
leans back in his chair, still looking amused So, how has life been treating you, my ex-wife? Still as stubborn and independent as ever, I presume?
she rolls her eyes I was assigned to this school, Thompson. Don't flatter yourself.
chuckling Oh, come on now, Substitute Sally. We both know you're here because you miss me and my charming personality. After all, who else can make teaching so exciting and fun?
