"Okay, I think we've had enough of Mystic Falls week long devotion to the Founding colonies." Alaric said, turning around to the class from the chalkboard and surveying the room. Its something he did out of absolute habit. It was the only way to survive as a teacher. If you don't keep an eye on the students, they'll sneak by you. And by 'sneak by'...that could mean anything from sneaking off into a day dream or sneaking out of the room. No way in hell was he going to let either of that happen.
"...and don't think that was a stab in the dark. The evidence is written on the completely blank stares on your faces." He gave a small smirk, amused. Some students let out quiet laughs. He grabbed a stack of papers from his desk and leaned on it. "Now the moment you've been waiting for. I've graded your essays and for the most part, all of you did a good enough job. Though I have to say a few of you need to really pick an argument and stick to it. I know I go off in tangents some times in class but please, do as I say, not as I do? Deal?"
He pushed himself off the desk passed out the graded papers. Right when he was finished the bell rang. The class started to get up and leave. Walking back to his desk, he said in a louder tone over all of the chatter, "Read chapter 5 for tomorrow guys. I might have the audacity to give you a pop quiz." There were anticipated groans and Alaric grinned. "I know, I know. It's the end of the world. If it is, I'd be prepared for something like that if I were you."
Alaric started to put the mess of papers on his desk in some kind of order, random piles or something, before he went off and took a much needed break while he had the chance. But he looked up and saw that a student had stayed behind.
"What can I do for you?" he asked somewhat hastily. He really wanted to get to that break.

My World is BURNING for you
~~~~~(Thats ok,and sorry if mine is short ) History class has always and will always be her favourite class, but today seemed to be the turning point in her likings . All thanks to Mr.Saltzman .Alex in this field was always right, and she is right, so why was today any different? No reason at all, expect the teacher was wrong, not her, the teacher.
Minutes before the papers had been handed out, the brunette had been loving class. Taking appropriate notes and answering questions when asked. Laughing as Mr.Saltzman made jokes, trying to liven up our sleepy class. But, like any smart student as soon as the words of ‘marked papers’ are released form any teachers mouth, Alex is as giggly as a child on Christmas. Every test or assignment was just one more way to prove to herself really just how much she knew. Well only in Art, or History class, in science it was just dreaded.
Alex had been sitting patiently in her seat as Alaric walked up and down the rows, handing out a graded paper to each student. Closing her eyes just as the paper was placed on her desk, she opened her grey eyes quickly excited to see her high mark. The smile and excited expression vanished from her pale face as quickly as it came. Alex was completely unimpressed by the little red C sitting on her desk. This was not happening, not in this class.
Placing a determined look on her face as student eagerly pushed themselves out of the classroom after the bell, but Alex wasn`t leaving yet, she had a bone to pick with Mr.Saltzmen. Proudly walked up to the cluttered teacher’s desk, Alex nearly slammed the paper on his desk.
”Mr.Saltzmen, sir. I think we have a bit of problem.” There was no need to raise her voice, it was just silly paper, a silly paper that counted a fair bit.”This mark, its .....just not right. There must be some mistake. This is one of the topics of Mystic falls history that i know the best.”

[--I CAN'T FEEL YOU THERE--]BECOME SO TIRED S O M U C H M O R E A W A R E ”Mr.Saltzmen, sir."
Alaric looked up and saw Alex at his desk and she wasn't happy. Alaric already knew that it was because of her grade and he'd been preparing himself for this kind of reaction right when he started passing out the papers.
"I think we have a bit of problem.”
Alaric stopped trying to pack up his things and stood up right. "We do, huh?" he asked, a tinge of impatience in his voice.
”This mark, its .....just not right. There must be some mistake. This is one of the topics of Mystic falls history that i know the best.”
Alaric looked down at the paper on his desk and saw he'd given her a C. He then remembered what the paper was about and why he gave her that grade. "Well it's no mistake, Alex," he told her bluntly. After saying that, he continued packing up papers on his desk. "You had a lot of good information there, but your topic was vague." He paused to look at her. He understood what it was like being on her side of the fence, for sure. When he was studying history back in North Carolina, he had the same expression that Alex was wearing now many times. Except he really didn't have anyone to explain the grade to him, but hey, that's college.
With his hands on the desk, he leaned against it, saying, "Alex, this could have been a really good paper if you narrowed your topic down. This reads almost like an encyclopedia listing about the founding fathers, and don't get me wrong, that's great...just not for this assignment. It's not what I asked for. Next time, you have to give me something concrete. Something focused." He waited a moment to see how she would take that. It was a reasonable answer. After all, he couldn't give a good grade if the paper didn't follow what he was looking for.
TAGGED?! Alex

My World is BURNING for you
~~~~~Alex wanted to smack the teacher right then and there because she was right and he was wrong. That of coarse was the wrong reaction to this whole situation. The angle that she was coming at the assignment had been wrong, Alex had been distanced from her work with projects that her mother had assigned to her, complaining that this could take you father in life. But Alex doesn`t want to cheat in life. It sucked sometimes being a witch and having a short temper.
She was slightly taken back by his response, teachers are humans too, they can make mistakes.
”Vague?!”
Memories of her endless nights for distractions were flooding back into her head. Crap ,she though. So this whole meeting with the teacher could have been prevented if she could actually set her priorities straight. Now she was stating there, nearly red in the face from embarrassment and anger. Alex with she would be swallowed by her own ego at the moment.
”Sorry.I guess i was just sodistracted by other work.”
Admitting to a teacher about her own mistakes was like telling the allied nations in world war two that making Hitler the countries leader was a tiny mistake. Why did life hate her so? Nearly slamming the text book into her head, Alex held back the urge to make herself feel pain.
”Will this mark count for a lot?”
She prayed to god that it wouldn`t other wise the goes her 98% average in this class. All that work for nothing.

Alaric looked at her bemused, seeing that she was red in the face, clearly angry about this. She claimed she was distracted by other work, which he could understand. The problem was that everyone else in his class had other work to finish too. He couldn't exactly make exceptions, as much as he would like to. He was worried about werewolves, vampires, and doppelgängers terrorizing the life of his girlfriend's niece, yet he still had time to grade papers. If it were up to him, everyone would get a break.
]"We only have a few big papers like this a semester so yes," He sighed. "This is weighted pretty heavily."
He looked at her with some concern. Alaric thought to himself...if he really thinks people deserve a break, there was no reason not to start now.
"Listen." he said, sliding her paper back to her. "Here's the deal. Redo the paper by the end of the week and we'll see what I can do. If it's better, I'll average the grade." Alex was generally solid in his class, and he could tell she worked hard on the paper. She deserved some slack. "This time, try to do the assignment the way I assigned it?" He gave a small grin. "Sound good to you?"
