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.

Week 4 monday morning

[Around 9 am Hester will hear a gentle knock on her door, with Spongebob popping in a few seconds later with a giant stack of pancakes (and Gary chilling on his head).]

Hey Hester, I brought you breakfast!

Spon- [She raises a hand to her mouth to muffle a yawn.] -gebob! Good morning.

That's so sweet of you, I was just thinking how I was getting hung- is that Gary?

[employeeoftheyear]

You know him? [He is absolutely beaming at the idea that she already knows Gary.] He popped out of the machine thing just today! Say hi to Hester, Gary!

[He meows.

Spongebob places the pancakes in front of her and smiles.]

You know I was just starting to worry I wouldn't be able to see any of my friends from home ever again, but I'm glad I was wrong about that!

I'm...familiar, let's say. Hi, Gary!

[She grins, clearly happy to see the two of them. While she had spent the night at the sleepover, she'd slipped out pretty early to get dressed for her office hours- and despite the layer of foundation and powder on her face it's pretty noticeable that she did not get much sleep.]

Come on, Spongebob, nothing could seperate a sponge and his snail forever. [Except death but shhhh, it's pancake time.]

[employeeoftheyear]

I'll say! Kinda funny that he was there in the first place, but I'm glad he wasn't home starving!

[Or burning in lava.

He sits across from her, seeming to notice how tired she looks. He was one of the first people who fell asleep so he almost certainly didn't see her leave unless she left really early.]

Aww, don't tell me you stayed up all night at the sleepover? I've tried doing that too but I can never stay up too long past my bedtime!
