Be as affable as possible, Alex. Believe me, your attitude might actually have life altering consequences. Take umbridge in the fact that you are, in fact, changing their lives, whether to a smaller or greater extent.
We are talking about (high-) school here, right?
Why should he take umbrage at that fact?

I already discovered that word, it's not it.
I had a similar sounding word in mind that meant comfort. I was probably just wrong. Doesn't make much of a difference, really.

Yes they are, 11th and 12th graders. And indeed I am, I'm always willing to see the person and offer to help them even when they piss me off. That's important to me, and if I didn't do that any more, I might just as well do a different job.
You remind me so much of my math teacher but you're cooler and not a jerkface

Her, the offer to help despite pissed off part. It's just that she's a bit je ne sais quoi and has fewer rad points
