Well, fuck. Arcadio was late. That was just awesome. He was almost never late for stuff. And this was a student who had requested a meeting. At least he didn't live far from his office. Again, he thought about how useful it was to live on campus. He had fallen asleep after his last class. It had totally been by accident. He had only meant to sit down for a moment but woke up half an hour later.  "I am so sorry," Arcadio called to Pandora, the student he was meeting, as he rushed up the hallway. He checked his watch. Only ten minutes late. "I didn't mean to keep you waiting." He got to the door of his office, where Pandora had been standing in wait, and unlocked it. "Come on in."

She was told to begin her next year schedule now to get the classes she wanted or needed.She set up most her classes to be early in the day and breaks to be later, so she had time still to spend on her garden in the greenhouse, after all it was like her sanctuary. Her last class was choosing a language she really had no clue what one to go with cause she really was unsure if she could figure it out, she already had issues with English as it was and to add to that was a bit on he scary side.

But after some time she decided to choose Spanish since it seemed fun and was more common and had more uses then the others. So she set up the time to talk with the teacher and make things work as well as to simply meet the person who would be teaching her.

She made her way to the room where the meeting was to take place it was his office she believed and he seemed nice enough from when she spoke with him about doing this. So she was not to nervous which odd enough was a shock for her cause well she was not all that thrilled when it came to actually being social and talking with people.

When he arrived she had only been waiting for a short time he seemed upset that he was late but in truth she really did not mind. She smiled at him and followed him into the office ready to get this done with.

"It is fine no worry, Im sorry you had to rush here I feel bad if it had interrupted anything.."

She was a bit on the polite side, and always felt she was at fault for things or that she was causing some kind of trouble for people, which was one of the reasons she decided to just keep to her own. Maybe she should talk to some one about it but at the same time she did not wish to do so.

She took a seat and waited in silence looking around the room a bit before bringing her attention back towards him, after all it was rude not to give the person you where talking with attention.

Arcadio ushered Pandora into his office. He pushed his hat back on his head to rub his forehead before adjusting it back in its original position. "Don't worry about it," he assured her, "you aren't interrupting anything. My fault for being late." Pandora had asked him a few days ago for this meeting to talk about the Spanish course he was teaching next semester. Language classes were always a lot of work, so he was impressed that she was looking into it before just signing up and seeing what happened. He took a seat at his desk and leaned back in the chair, taking a breath to settle. "So, what did you want to talk about?"

She watched him for a moment, before he spoke he seemed to be rather professional which was a good thing, she also wondered what his power was. He looked like a decent sized man, probably in his thirties or so by guess. And his way of talking and politeness showed he would be a good teacher which she was happy about, some where a bit loud and pushy and well that was something she did not overly enjoy a whole lot. She stared off into space thinking to herself for a moment even after he spoke, and then suddenly took notice she was doing so and went back to paying attention and trying to figure out how to answer him.

"Sorry.. um I wanted to see what structure you will be using in the class for teaching.. as well as how you're grading system will work for the course... And I also wanted to get to meet you before hand.. I wanted to see if you where likable enough... I hope that does not sound rude.."

She was rather honest at least. She was not going to take a class with a teacher she could not like, mainly because she wanted to keep her grades high, and she also did not like confrontation either. So liking the teacher was a big thing for her, since it allowed her to actually focus on the class more and have a better grasp on things.

Arcadio raised an eyebrow. Likeable, eh? "Well, I don't know if I can speak to the likeable part," Arcadio said with a small smile, "We call want to think of ourselves as likeable, don't we?" He reached into one of the top drawers of his desk and pulled out a rubric from an assignment he had given his 11th years. "I can give you a few of these to look over on your own time, if you want. I mark different kinds of assignments different ways." He gave her another encouraging smile. "I start with vocabulary, then move on to grammar and verb structures. I focus on being able to get your point across instead of only teaching grammar. Does that sound appealing?"

She listened to him as he spoke and even smiled at some of his comments, he seemed to be over all a good teacher, and was honest so that was a huge plus as well. Yes she could see herself taking a class with him. Also it was nice he was breaking things down as well so she understood what his methods where.

"That sounds awesome, and i would love to look them over when I am finished, I just want to be careful not to get myself into any classes that I might become... umm well uh.. well i dont want to take on to much and then wind up falling behind I guess is what I mean.."

She was being honest as well, she did not want to get overloaded, she might be smart but she also only could focus and handle so much at one time, and stress with her often did not go well, especially when she was near plants.. She looked up at him and smiled a bit more

"I think though the class sounds great, I look forwards to it actually, you seem like you are a good teacher so I wont worry about that to much."

Arcadio beamed at Pandora. "That's really great to hear." He gathered some more resources from his desk: rubrics, even a few handouts on the basics of Spanish. "Taking a language can be a lot of work. It's easy to feel overwhelmed. The main thing to remember is that I'm here to help. If you feel like you can't ask me for extra help, then I'm not doing my job." He handed her the papers. "This is just to give you an idea of what my class looks like. Don't feel pressure to work on them or whatever until this semester is over. Especially if you've never taken Spanish before." He leaned forward, forearms leaning against the top of his desk. "Honestly, I know how hard it is to learn another language. Spanish is my first, English is my second. So if you choose to take my class, remember that I'm on your team."

"Well thank you very much, I am glad to know you are willing to help, and thanks also for the extra boost these should help alot.. I dont really do good with English as it is.. So I am kind of nervous about taking on another language.. Im not uh so good with people.."

She was being honest and she felt okay enough to tell him this, it was not that she was scared of people or lacked the ability to speak and understand English itself, she just did not feel inclined to talk and be social, she felt awkward when she did. But that was also her own fault for surrounding herself by plants rather then people.

"It has been really nice getting to meet you, and sit and talk.. I really appreciate you taking the time to do this.. I means a lot and I hope to do good in the class next semester."

She did not want to keep taking up his time, after all this was a school and she was pretty sure he had other things to do, and did not want to waste any more of his time with anything. As well she was not sure what more to ask or talk about honestly the papers and such he had giving her would help a ton.

"My pleasure. I'm glad you're looking forward to it." Arcadio noticed that Pandora was looking a bit nervous. He hoped that his offer for extra support would help her feel more confident. He could remember being young and unsure of himself when he was a teenager.  Sure, that was a long time ago. He was no longer an awkward 16 year old who wasn't quite finished growing. Now, he was a grown 44 year old man who had capped out at 6 foot 2. Still, he felt sympathy. Boarding schools could be especially hard on kids. He struggled with his first few years when he went to school. "You can always come to me if you need anything," Arcadio told her. "But if that's all you need for now, we can call it a night." He offered his hand to her to shake.

She gently took his hand and looked up at him and gave him a soft smile before nodding in agreement. He had done pretty good about making her feel comfortable about taking his class. She figured she could always ask for help since he offered and that alone made things way easier for her, not to mention she was more comfortable with talking to him now that they had sat down and talked for a little while.

"Thank you again and I will see you next semester, And I will do my best in your class !"

She was content now and stood up and headed out of the room, turning just before and waving goodbye with a soft smile. This was much easier then she had expected. Now her school schedule was finished she could go and head to the greenhouse and spend the next few hours relaxing.
