Miss Bloomie wasn’t a fan of being a teacher, but it was… somewhat enjoyable. Why? Coworkers. Working with her cousin, Miss Circle, and her best friend, Miss Thavel, made everything much more enjoyable. She was formerly living with her cousin, but then Circle adopted too many cats so Bloomie kicked her out. As much as she put “family over living conditions”, the cats weren’t worth it. But it got a bit lonely to live alone, so she invited the language teacher to move in.

Thavel wasn’t as terrible a roommate as she’d first anticipated. She’d expected the rowdy and energetic woman to be a horrible person to live with, but she wasn’t. She did chores, she didn’t make messes and force Bloomie to clean it, she didn’t even have any pets! She was the opposite of Miss Circle and it was like heaven finally granted her wish.

She and Thavel arrived home together. It was easier to take just one car. It saved on gas. Bloomie was exhausted, having to clean up the mess of ∆lice’s murder as punishment for being a part of it. Well, the three of them did but Thavel and Circle ended up ditching her, and Miss Grace wouldn’t let her get away like those two.

“Thanks for ghosting me.”

She flopped down onto the couch, her face stern despite her exhaustion. She ran her fingers through her hair, her boxcutter arm by her side, keeping her sitting upright.
