Cori looked into the auditorium where there was a man giving a speech. She could sit there and try to understand what he was saying by reading his lips but it wasn't worth her time or effort. She didn't feel like she needed to sit and watch Mr. Bacchus give a speech about mutant success in face of an anti-mutant society. What kind of name was Bacchus anyways? Cori scoffed at the thought of going but instead sat in the back, drawing in a notebook.

An hour and a half passed by and Cori had no idea what was happening in the lecture but apparently it was over and she was the only one still sitting in the auditorium, working on a drawing of a guy in one of her classes, holding fire in one of his hands. He was pretty cute but he'd never give her the time of day. Cori sighed and grabbed her back pack, heading out of the auditorium. As she turned left out of the room she ran into a rather tall guy and stumbled a little but then phased right through him. She paused and rubbed her chest in a circle with a balled up fist to say 'I'm sorry' to the man for running into him so carelessly, not that she really was sorry for doing it.

Cori smiled smugly. 'Thanks.' She didn't think she was so blatantly cold towards the other students but apparently even he teachers were taking notice of how she was towards others. It was just frustrating that she didn't get to communicate with more than half of the school because of a verbal language barrier.

She giggled when he mentioned all of the drawings that he had done for them in class. 'Maybe you should talk to Mrs. Spinelli and see if she can help with your drawing abilities. She's amazing.' Cori frowned a little when he mentioned a project for their final. 'I prefer a paper. I don't have to work with anyone on a paper and it's easier.' She knew that her feedback probably was worth nothing but at least she could get it out there.

Cori shrugged. 'I should probably go to practice. Mrs. Elwood is probably wondering where I wandered off to.'

'I was thinking more along the lines of group projects if wanted, but things people might be more interested in and wanted to do a little more research. Like if someone wanted to bring in keyboards to play something and have a short report on music styles of the century in France. Or sketches of fashion changes that could be put up on the board or projected.' Dakota wanted to find something that people could actually connect to since history was rarely a favorite topic. 'As long as you can connect it back to the class, but trying to save you all from long papers that make you just want to sleep. Or you can write about what an awesome teacher I am and there will be A+'s all around.' With a note right under that he underlined twice 'Kidding'.

'I won't keep you then. Piano needs practice or your aunt will kick me if I mess up her choir concert.'

'That sounds like a lot more work than anyone wants to do during the final weeks of school.' Cori grinned when he suggested writing about how good of a teacher he was. She refrained from writing anything back beneath that comment since she was biased. It was probably a good thing that he couldn't read thoughts and she could think before writing things, usually avoiding word vomit. Her cheeks gave her away though as they were a light pink.

'She'd probably do more than kick you.' She'd love to see Dakota get yelled at like she had when she messed stuff up or didn't do homework or just did something that was plain dumb, like go to the city without permission. 'Have fun though.' Cori stood up and waved good bye rather than writing it and fixed her clothes before walking out of the auditorium with a big grin on. Score one for Tibbits; she'd just gotten to have an awesome conversation with the cutest teacher in the school. 'Well.. maybe not awesome but it was something!' Cori thought to herself as she ran down the hallway to Natalie's office.
