NAME:  Karen Schmidt<br/>ROLE IN SCHOOL:  English Teacher<br/>TIME OF DAY:  Noon<br/>LOCATION:  Cafeteria<br/>TAGGING:  Samuel Ervin and Aaron Shaw<br/><br/>Eyes coming up shyly, Karen hardly had time to register Samuel's statement before he was asking his question.  Her face colored a crimson hue as her cheeks heated embarrassedly.  "Ah...well, I can't manipulate large fires.  Like...if a building was on fire, I'd have to separate the flames from one another to extinguish them..." she explained, twirling her fork on her plate.  She chewed her lower lip.  "Likewise, if I spark too large of a flame, I can lose control of it," she murmured, her head ducking a bit more.<br/>She jumped, distracted from her explanation and thoughts, as Aaron sat next to her, her stormy eyes wide as she turned to take him in.  Seeing his extended hand, she slowly set down her fork and moved, politely shaking it, biting her lower lip as he introduced himself.  "P-pleasure," she stuttered out, trying not to duck her head again in embarrassment for the stutter.  ...She was thankful she was better around students.  It was just easier to step up and be more confident when she was talking about something she was teaching.  "Uhm...thank you for the opportunity to work here," she said quietly, her eyes moving up to Aaron's for a moment before looking away uneasily.
