Before class, you walk down the hall to Jaq's room. As you approach, a tall and lean delinquent opens the door and says, "Ms. Bridges, you have a visitor." He stands by the door, hands held together in front of him, and somehow, his posture reminds you of a butler.
Jaq greets you warmly and invites you in. "How are you holding up with all the harassment?" you ask, concerned.
To your surprise, Jaq responds with a smile, "Oh, I haven't experienced any harassment. As an elite crossdresser, I'm actually quite well-respected around here." You feel a twinge of jealousy at her apparent ease in this environment. But you push the feeling aside and focus on the positive - at least one of you is not suffering from the bullying.
Jaq grins mischievously as she adds, "I mean, I don't want to brag or anything, but I do embody my femsona quite well. But don't worry, I won't let it get to my head."
The delinquent asks you, "Miss, may I give you a shoulder rub to relieve any tension you may have?"
"No, thanks. I'll be fine."
You can hardly believe how well-behaved and well-spoken he is. None of the other masculine delinquents in the school have been quite as polite as him.
After the strange encounter, you make your way to Angelina's room. After you open the door, you see that she is sharing the room with two other feminine crossdressers. They are chatting and laughing, but the atmosphere turns serious as they notice your presence.
You ask Angelina how she's doing after getting punched, and she assures you that she's alright and not even bruised. You breathe a sigh of relief, but still feel angry about what happened.
The other two crossdressers chime in, "We're so tired of the delinquents. They think they can just bully whoever they want." One of them, who's wearing a pink dress, adds, "It's not fair. We all have to be in this school together, and all they want is to make our lives miserable."
Afterward, you make your way to the Communication class. You see a middle-aged woman standing at the front of the room. She has short, red hair and wears rather formal clothes.
"Good morning, class," she greets you all. "Welcome to Communication. I'm Professor Bianchi and I'll be your guide throughout this course." Her voice is clear and confident.
"Today, we'll be covering the most important lesson of this course - non-threatening body language and listening skills. The ability to listen effectively is the most important life skill one can have." She pauses for a moment, scanning the room and making eye contact with each student.
"We'll be exploring how to use body language to convey openness and warmth, as well as how to actively listen to others. These skills can be used in a variety of crucial situations, such as job interviews, interpersonal relationships, and even public speaking." She smiles, "By the end of this class, you'll be able to read body language better and improve your communication skills significantly."
