"Nice to meet you Professor Lawson. Miss Avalon." She said. Her smile quickly turned to a look of puzzlement as Ethan entered the room. He wouldn't so much as look at her. What was with the cold shoulder? Growing up with four siblings, it was a tactic she knew well. Expressed your feelings ever so well without you having to say a word. She refused to wonder what feelings Ethan was trying to express here. Thank goodness she hadn't left those rawhide bones outside his office door. How stupid they would look there now with that little, red bow on top. Without bothering to remove the hurt look from her face, Iliana looked Ethan dead in the eyes. She didn't care who saw it. Let them all!

Pushing him from her thoughts, Iliana turned her head and focused all of her energy on the headmaster. This was a staff meeting after all and she was determined not to allow anyone to cause her to lose her professionalism.
