As the students had begun to talk, the previous silence of the room was quickly shattered.  Quiet talking became chattering, and chattering became a moderate torrent of noise.  Still, Amanda was focused on a new task and didn't bother with hushing the students back down to a quieter volume.  She was working on rearranging the lesson plan to accommodate Daniel's request.  She was only drawn from her busy scribbling when she heard a nearby voice speak.  Looking up at the word of greeting, she met the teen's sheepish gaze with azure hues.  She stared almost owlishly for a moment, her mind pulling from her work, before she gave a small smile, her hands moving to clasp over the paperwork as her attention switched to her student.  "Hello...Daniel, right?  What did you need, honey?" she asked with a fairly polite and warm smile.
