There no place like home for the holidays (open)

[Ryo]

Ryo made a face at the thought of going back to class. He did like learning and practicing, but there was so much more about school that he was actually starting to loathe. "Bleh... I think I'd be fine if I didn't have to go back." Not like he was spending all that much time in class before the break anyway.

[Oki]

"Really? I thought you were enjoying school..."

[Ryo]

"It sucks without you there." Ryo pouted a bit. "The teacher they have there now is a bitch." He looked up at her with sad puppy eyes.

[Oki]

Oki dug her skates into the ice and stopped, looking down at Ryo. "I'm sorry, sweety. I'd give anything to be back there with you, trust me. But your new teacher can't be that bad. Iruka says she's pretty good..."

[Ryo]

Ryo slid to his own stop a foot or so away from Oki. "I dunno... I don't like her." He huffed a bit, looking back at Oki.

[Oki]

Oki smiled knowingly. "She makes you read in class, huh?"

[Ryo]

"Ugh yes! It's awful!!!" He threw his arms up in the air in frustration. "She tells me to read and then sends me to detention when I don't. I think I spend more time there then my room!" The other students he didn't care about, but this woman was supposed to have power over him. He hated that. Oki was okay because he liked her, but he had no reason whatsoever to do what this bitch was telling him to do.

[Oki]

"Have you tried talking to her, Ryo? Maybe if you explained your situation to her she'd be a little more understanding..."

[Ryo]

Ryo shifted uncomfortably, staring at his feet. "Not really... I told her I really didn't wanna but she thought that was more reason to do it..."

[Oki]

Oki laid a hand on Ryo's shoulder. "Maybe try telling her why, Ryo. You might find she understands and would be willing to make accomodations like I did."

[Ryo]

Ryo grumbled a bit to himself before nodding. "Okay fine... I'll try..." He was really not happy about it though.
