"An AI? Why, am I behaving weirdly? Sorry, I didn't mean to, er, what am I doing wrong? Am I being too forward? It's that, isn't it? I'm sorry, I just..." Ellie realised she was babbling and stopped herself, "Sorry, no, I'm not an AI, I just... really like Maths is all."
She shakes Laurie's hand, glancing briefly at the sight of Daniel and Mia on the other side of the room, wondering what the fuss was about, before turning back to Eva and Laurie, smiling.

Suspiciously innocent, Mr I thought, suspiciously so. Just sat there... reading... two of them now. They must be up to something. But what?
Mr I got out his notebook and started writing down the time, keeping an eye on both Ellie Jeeves and Mia Mulholland...

"Hey Danny"
Laurie's voice rings out across the mostly empty lunch hall, towards Mia and Daniels table. She waves one stony arm for emphasis.
"Come over an join us"
Laurie turns back to the table. "Nah, it's cool. Maths is a pretty heavy subject though."

Eva's face fell slightly, though it was hard to keep feeling disappointed about the lack of another AI to keep long night actives with when the company was just too adorable for words. A smile was quick to crease her face again and she raised her hand to brush away the apology with a small laugh.
"Not behaving weirdly at all. Most AI's actually function pretty naturally these days, sometimes, you can't even tell." She winked, watching Laurie raise her hand and call. Before she realised who she was calling.
"Laurie no we-!! Shit." Her head falls into her hand as she resigned herself to the awkwardness of the moments to come. "We broke up yesterday.... again." She whispered.

"You broke up? As in you were dating? In a relationship?" Ellie was about to start a full interrogation before she realised that it was probably not socially acceptable to keep asking, so she returned to Laurie's point.
"I tend to find Maths fairly self-explanatory but then again I guess my brain is just wired that way - metaphorically. I'm pretty sharp on programming through, but I'm not sure I could get on the level of an AI," she said, watching Eva's face closely, certain she'd noticed a wink as she'd mentioned AIs before.

Mia's chair moves across the floor with an ominous scrape. The sweater billows. She stretches as high as her two-inch heels will take her: that is to say, a couple of inches above five feet.
"Sir," she says, in a voice made to carry. A look of moderate heroic determination graces her features. (As always.) "Victimising innocent students via needlessly detailed and persistent personal surveilance again? Because the school governors rather had something to say about that during last month's meeting."

Arkady at this point wanders into the room with an inordinately large dog, absent-mindedly takes the entirety of the cafeteria's casserole while nobody's looking, and starts feeding it to Rover, periodically breaking off to doodle what looks like advanced molecular chemistry in a slightly burnt notebook.

"Yeah." Eva groaned, rolling her eyes. "It's... complicated." She didn't really feel like diving into more details - if only because she wasn't sure what more details there were to tell. Heck if she knew why they were so on again off again... or why she even let herself get pulled in by his wiley charms. "Love is.... completely illogical." She commented more for her own benefit then anyone else's at the table.
Keen to change the subject, she latched onto the new topic of conversation as well. "So are you a part of the Computer club then, Ellie?"

"I've never understood 'love'," she said, making air quotes around the word, "And I'm not sure I ever will." Sensing the change in conversation though, she moved on.
"The Computer Club was the first place I found when I started!" she laughed, "They're really helpful there, I must say, they got me set up almost immediately, and oh! have you met Theodore?"

"Miss Mulholland, I'm taking notes on the discolouration of the ceiling tiles in this incredibly dreary room," he said, smiling slightly as he looked down at her through his dark glasses, "though the fact that you seem to think I was taking notes on you very much suggests that you are... up to something..."

Laurie watches the conversation bounce between Ellie and Eva for a bit before interjecting.
"Who's Theodore?"
Out of the corner of her eyes she watches Mia stand up against Mister I, after all a Teacher bullyign a stdent is worse than student on student by a long shot...

Arkady wanders over to Mister India and Avalon. "'Scuse me, could you take care of Rover for a second? I need to nip over to the science lab for a minute for, um, things."
Arkady gives a winning smile. Rover gives the most evil grin a dog can reasonably give.

"Theodore? He's this guy in the Computer Club and he's really cool -- he's ridiculously into security and hacking and all sorts. He seems pretty nice, just wondering what he's like out of the computer room?" she smiled, taking in the other things that were going on out of the corner of her eye, but intrinsically intrigued by watching Eva's face.

"Mr. India, if you observed the ceiling tiles in question a little more carefully, you would notice that they are all quite uniformly white, ever since the Student Council succeeded in securing funding for last year's lunch hall renovations." She smiles back. Nicely. "Though the fact that you seem to think I am prepared to be goaded into some kind of admission of wrongdoing is... interesting..."
It is then that she notices Arkady. Blushes.
Then notices Rover. Grimaces.
"Does it... bite?" she inquires. Tentatively.
