Jake's mouth went dry as he saw the silvery thing... he KNEW what that was and the young man was instantly FURIOUS with what was now going to happen. He was still CRYING for the love of Merlin.
And then she was there... and talking. Jake sniffed slightly but managed, more or less, to pass it off as a scoff at what was BEING said. "So he got points taken and a talking to," he recounted quickly. "And I believe what you said, far from telling me to see Healer Moretti, was more along the lines of 'stop being a baby' and 'whining isn't going to help'."
Jake shook his head and looked away from both women, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, actually stopping the anger.
Once again, Jake tugged at his shirt collar to show the redness on his neck. "He did try to strangle me. And even if he was under the effects of a potion, which I doubt, you only gave him a detention when he threw a cauldron. In a class. Where you were supervising and keeping an eye out, keeping people safe. But when it's just me being throttled and not wanting to retaliate because I thought he'd actually gone insane... points would suffice."
Jake breathed deeply and looked over at the window shaking his head. "I can't deal with this place. Every year. Every year..."
Every year Joshua Carter went for him and nothing was done.
Jake didn't think he could stay. He needed to talk to Neptune when he was done here.
"And it didn't help. Did it?" She said to him. "Nor is it helping you now. You are of age, are you not? I suggest you start acting like it. This is your last year here, and the real world is much more cruel."

"Thank you for clearing that up." She nodded politely to the woman, and then turned her eyes to the boy again. "Jake seems to be under the impression that you do not like him." She paused, turning her head to fully glance at the woman, "Please forgive me, while I am not in the habit of stirring up trouble, I do believe this needs to be aired out a bit." After all, it was the main source of his complaints, and by glossing over it, there would be no results.
"Is there something you wish to say to Professor LaFay, Jake? While we are all here to listen?"
The woman gave a little mournful sigh, and sat back into her seat.
"No one wants you to leave, Jake. You're in your seventh year, very close to graduation, if you left.. where would you go? What would you do to finish your schooling?" Really? She wanted to know. How much had he thought about this? That would surely tell how unhappy he truly was. She didn't want for him to be unhappy, not in the slightest. No child should EVER be unhappy as far as she was concerned, but still, maybe this was one of those things in life that he would just need to stick out.
"Healer Moretti, Morgan is right. I do dislike him." There were very, very few students she liked. "He is rude in my presence and has absolutely no regard for my authority. He intends to disrespect me any way he can." she turned at looked at Jake then back to the healer, "This doesn't mean I want him to leave or lose the opportunity to gain an education. In fact I continued to allow him to remain in my class until he tried to disrupt it. Then I kicked him out."
She turned her whole chair towards the boy. "Yes... what would you like to say to me." She said genuinely interested.
