Sarah hated the payment part. Why couldn't the lesson be in the student garden or something... this was too much for Sarah's deep pockets. Everytime she spent money it was emotionally draining and that is why she enetered this lesson \less happy as usual. Her eyes were not shining and she merely sat down at the table. She knew it was rude not to greet the professor, yet she could not help feeling so glum. She was scared that if she opened her mouth just a bit all her emotions would fly out.
She took her things out of her satchel. "hello professor" she said in a low voice. "is there no where else this lesson could take place?"
