Coffee time// Justin

[Elyse Kathryn Nathans]

November 16 4:30pm

As elyse walked into the staff lounge she made a very quick bee line to the coffee machine. She refilled her rather large travel mug sighing a little bit. Today had been a long day so far. Not a bad day at all just a long day. Elyse turned around leaning on the counter behind her before pushing off it and going to sit down. There were a few chairs scattered in the room with some tables. The little kitchenette area and even a few couches. Elyse went to one of the couches and plopped down leaning back. 

Today elyse actually wore clothes that one would usually wear to work. She had on black skinny jeans that passed as dress pants for her and a simple blue and white flowing lose fitting shirt. With the jeans you could see the outlines of her prosthetics but elyse did not really mind that anymore. Elyse leaned forward pulling her laptop out and setting it on the little coffee table that was in front of the couch. She should be doing work but that would mean being productive and what fun would that be at all. 

Elyse was beginning to really like it here. She knew a few people so far not many yet but still a few. Her brothers were driving her insane with questions making sure she was ok and making sure she was not drinking and was sleeping ok. It was annoying but it was nice to have people that cared enough to bug her. She always assured them everything was perfect and that was kind of true. She was not drinking it was getting easier to stay sober. Sleeping was a little hit or miss. Mostly a miss hints the coffee but it was getting a little better. Elyse brought her mind back to earth as she heard someone walk in. Elyse looked up and said in her cheery voice "hello!"

Justin kept peering at his watch. His just wanted this period to be over. He watched over his class as they all sprinted round the gym, starting their cool down. This class wasn't too bad. They were pretty independent; Justin was just there to make sure that no trouble broke out that he might have to intervene. Looking at his watch again he was willing it to get to half-past. He was in desperate need of a coffee. It had been a pretty full on day and he hasn't actually stopped for a sit down. He stomach was growling slightly but Justin was used to not really stopping for lunch. "Right that's enough. Good work today guys. Go change." As he watched the twenty of so students saunter off to the gym, he followed closely, desperate to get to that coffee machine.

His trainers squeaked on the shiny floor as he walked down the school corridor. He was still in his gym kit, shorts and a T-shirt but there was never any point in him changing. He only wore something smart when he had a day of teaching Speech or an important meeting or something. As Justin walked into the teachers longue he heard a voice and smiled at the blonde sitting on one of the couches. He smiled at her and politely said, "Good afternoon" before turning to the coffee machine and watching it dispense the liquid he'd been craving all afternoon. He looked round the rest of the longue, it was completely empty so he walked over to the couch that the girl was sitting on." Mind if I join you?" he asked with a genuine smile, before sitting down opposite her. He took a sip of coffee and moaned with pleasure. "I needed that!" he exclaimed, laughing slightly to himself.

He looked at the girl sitting opposite him. He hadn'tseen her before and wondered what she did."I'm Justin by the way. I'm a gym teacher as you can see," he laughed, pointing down at his clothes,"but I also teach speech." He smiled kindly at the girl. Justin had definitely always been brought up with manners."and how about you? I haven't seen you around before. Are you a newby like me?" He smiled. There was something about this girl that really made him feel at ease.

why are we talking to each other again?

[Elyse Kathryn Nathans]

Elyse smiled as she actually looked at the other person in the room. He looked maybe slightly younger then her but not by much if at all. She sipped her own coffee slowly as he got his own. It seemed that this school went through enough coffee to feed a town, a imaginary town of corse but the point was still there. It worked though i kept people awake. For elyse it was a little different it kept her sober. When she wanted to drink she would have a ton of coffee and it had worked at least for the past five years it had. She smiled at him as he asked if she minded if he joined her and she said "I would love some company." she watched as he sat down across from her. 

He seemed nice enough. Elyse did not recognize him but she had not ventured out of her office all that much yet. Elyse listened as he introduced himself as Justin an said he taught gym and speech then asked about her and if she was a newbie like he was. Elyse took a sip of her coffee before saying "Nice to meet you justin. I'm elyse and I am a counselor for self harm and eating disorders. I'm not super new but I have not been out and about much yet. I have been her for a few months now"

Elyse looked towards Justin again. He seemed nice enough and it was also nice to talk to another adult since she spent her while day talking to kids and so far most of them would have done just about anything not to be there. After a short pause elyse said  "so justin where are you from? I am from brazil but I grew up in the states and lives in Indiana " it may have sounded a little odd but elyse alway alway answered her own questions first it was just a silly little habit but it was also her view in life. Why ask a question if you yourself are not even willing to answer it.

Justin nodded politely at Elyse. He wondered what it’d be like to be a Counsellor. Justin had had to give advice to a few kids, help them out when they came to him and although he did enjoy the feeling of helping people he did find it quite stressful. What if he gave them the wrong answer? He would stick at just being a teacher for now. He was good at that….most of the time! Justin realised he didn’t really know many of the staff here. He knew Acadia from years back but that was about it really. He smiled at Elyse and nodded. “No me neither! I always think I’ll go and explore for a bit but there’s always something else to do!” he exclaimed, chuckling softly. He enjoyed the life of being a teacher, even though it did have it’s stresses sometimes, especially at a school like this.

Brazil. Wow. Justin would have loved to explore the world more. He’d never really been out the country. One day, when he’d built up enough money he would go off and travel round the world and explore distant cultures. “Well I was born here, then I moved away for a few years to California, then I came back! Not really one to fly far from the nest am I?” Justin smiled, looking down into his coffee mug and sipping from it slowly, savouring the taste. “So are you enjoying life here? Is this your first job as a counsellor? It must be such a stressful job sometimes. Rather you then me!” he leant back against the sofa, stretching his arms lazily either side of him. “do you have any family here? What made you wanna come here out of all places. Sorry if I’m being a bit intrusive. Just tell me to shut up if a get annoying.” Justin grinned cheekily. He was always a bit of a joker and a tease and was the first one to make a fool of himself. He didn’t mind though ‘it was part of his infectious personality’ or so he was told.

Elyse smiled at Justin as he said when he was going to explore something always came up. Eluse had the same problem the moment she wanted to go out and look around something would come up sometimes a student sometimes her little puppy or sometimes she was just out of energy and ready for bed. Elyse listened as Justin said this was where he was from and he had just came back from California. Elyse would have lived to have grown up in one place. But her true family was all she let herself remover now. All the foster families she had been in just helped her get to where she was now. 

Elyse smiled as he began to ask questions. They did not bother her at all curious people were curious. She loved questions learning about people but on occasion she had no problem being the one being questions. Elyse took a sip of coffee and said " i like it here a lot. And this is my first job as an counselor. I went back to school recently And just graduated. But I volunteered at VA hospital and that's like being a non official counselor in a lot of ways. It's hard but it what I love" . Elyse loved the fact she could help kids in the way that no one ever helped her it was such a great feeling. 

Elyse listened to his next questions and how he said sorry if he was being intrusive and she could tell him to shut up. Elyse smiled again as she said " no worries I ask lots of questions to. My family lives back in Indiana I have a miss matched family I was adopted when I was 16. I have to adopted brothers both the same age as me. And now I have a sister in law and a 14 year old niece. I came out here kind of by chance. I love new places and the idea of having a fresh start. And here I get one".
