The Principal's Office

[tailor_made]

The door to the principal’s office is open at all hours, although you will only find Hester at the receptionist’s desk from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. This is primarily where you can have private conversations with her. Though there’s an actual office in the back, it is always closed and locked.

Mmhm? Sure, Maya.

[Hester closes her little pink laptop, turning in her chair to look at her. Her eyebrows rise a little when she sees the change in Maya's dress, immediately having vivid flashbacks to her meeting with LSP but she still smiles in greeting.

As for the office itself Maya will immediately notice a new poster hanging on the wall behind Hester!]

[Maya glances toward the poster, just for a moment, making a mental note. Then her gaze is directed back toward Hester.]

I just wanted to follow up with you about our conversation about the dormitories. [She tilts her head just a little.]

Do you think you could tell me what each one was named after? Usually these places have history, and I was curious to know more about Gershwin.

Hmmm...Sure, I'm sure that'd be fine. Especially if it's in the name of education. [She shifts in her chair to make herself more comfortable and motions for Maya to have a seat across from her.]

The school was named for George Gershwin. He was a famous musician, a pianist and a painter from the early 20th century in the United States.

[Maya steps closer, and then settles into the chair. She tucks one foot behind the other and folds her hands in her lap. So polite!]

I see. And would that make the presumed Rodgers, Broadhurst, Ambassador, and Longacre his contemporaries?

[tailor_made]

Rodgers and Broadhurst were. Ambassador and Longacre weren't composers.

[mayavericks]

Playwrights, then? Or perhaps just writers in general?

[She shakes her head, no but then smiles and winks.] Come on, Maya, I thought you'd be better at this.

But no, they weren't individual people. Longacre is a location, an older name for it, and Ambassador is the name of a group. We took the names and assigned them to the dorms and I picked out the color coordination.

[Maya lets out a faint huff of breath. Her cheeks might be faintly pink, oops.]

Those answers seemed too obvious. That's all.

You have good taste in aesthetics though, I will say that.
