[Tom=http://i.imgur.com/xuv0mY6.jpg]It had been two days since Bartholomew had embarrassed the haughty girl. She had run out crying, which had just left Barry feeling just unreasonably smug.
The sun wasn't even fully up, and yet Bartholomew was already in his office. He found that being in there helped him focus when he was grading papers, rather than taking them home to work on. And it wasn't as though he had much of a social life. So after waking up at four in the morning and going for his admittedly useless run, he often came in early to finish up extra work and plan for the day.
He also used this time for students who really wished to get more help to potentially come in when none of their peers might see them. He didn't understand what was so embarrassing about asking for help, but it apparently was.
Lost in his work as he was, he didn't hear the door until it was already clicking closed. Looking up from his papers, Bartholomew hid the smirk he wanted to wear even as the beginnings of that mocking laughter echoed in his skull.
"Miss Redwood. What a pleasant surprise."[/Tom]
