NAME:  Karen Schmidt<br/>ROLE IN SCHOOL:  English Teacher<br/>TIME OF DAY:  Early evening<br/>LOCATION:  Library<br/>TAGGING:  Jake Crow and Aaron Shaw<br/><br/>Karen halted almost a foot away as she noticed Jake seeming to recoil from her, but still kept a warm smile on her face.  She watched him as he raised the book and blinked, her eyes scanning over the title.  She looked back at Jake with an encouraging smile.  "Ah, so you decided to get a head start.  That's perfectly alright!  Did you have any questions?" she asked.<br/>She then looked up as Mr. Shaw was suddenly there, about jumping.  She hadn't noticed his entrance, caught up in addressing her student.  Her stormy eyes moved from Jake to Mr. Shaw and she watched with quiet interest as he interacted with the student calmly and with such confidence.  It was good to see out of the Dean.
