[Closed RP for Claire] English was never so interesting

[geekboy_sammy]

Sam and Dean parted ways so they could go teach their respective classes. He found room 213 fairly easily. The classroom had a few students in it already but it wasn't anywhere near full, something he was grateful for as he walked in. He shifted the backpack on his shoulder, realizing that maybe it wasn't the best idea. It made him look a little

When Claire walked into her classroom three minutes after the last bell, she immediately looked to the teacher's desk to see that the substitute of the day was already there. She nodded apologetically to him, and couldn't help but take note of his age. He was a lot younger than the last few they'd seen; attractive and obviously nervous. She thought she would be too if she was coming into this school, considering everything that had happened over the past few days.

He hadn't started class yet thankfully, but she still thought it would be a good idea to apologize for her lateness on the way out just in case he thought it was disruptive. She'd been following Lyle around since everything had happened, trying to make sure that he stayed safe. With their dad gone, Claire knew it was her job to protect him.

She took her seat and pulled her notebook and pencil out of her backpack, along with her copy of Sleepy Hollow. They were supposed to have it read for today as a follow up to yesterday's lesson on Rip Van Winkle. It had been an easy

Sam was just getting ready to start when the pretty blond walked in.She nodded at him and he nodded back with a slight smile. He walked around to the front of the desk and leaned against it, hands braced against the edge of the desk on either side of him. He was facing the class and his nerves jumped up a notch before he choked them down.

"Okay. I know you guys were supposed to have a lesson on Sleepy Hollow today. How many of you actually read the book and how many of you just rented the movie with Johnny Depp in it?" He paused and then raised his hand. "I have read the book but the movie is a pretty decent telling of it."

Claire inched forward in her seat and wrote the date at the top of her page, along with the words Sleepy Hollow. She wasn't going to argue with Mr. Ramone, but she knew he was wrong in his explanation that the movie had taken more than loose inspiration from the short story. From what she'd seen of the movie, it was a lot different.

Maybe he just wasn't teaching it because he wasn't familiar with it. Either way, Claire was still going the "ordinary" route and waiting to see what the teacher had in store for them.

So she was right in calling bullshit on the movie and the book but Sam was trying to get everyone to relax a little, loosen up and talk to him. And apparently it was working a little. One of the guys near the back raised his hand. Sam grinned at him and nodded. "So what did think? Headless Horseman...pretty scary stuff."

"Yeah if you believe in stuff like that," a girl in the third row said. Sam nodded and raised his eyebrows.

"So you don't?"

The girl laughed and shook her head. "No way. It's like horror movies. None of that is real."

Sam glanced around the class room. "You all believe that? None of it's real? The Headless Horseman was just Abraham Van Brunt trying to scare Ichabod away from Katherine?"
