Which came first, the phoenix or the flame?

Phoebe took a couple hasty steps back, not wanting to be bumped into generally and especially not by one of the most unfriendliest professors she knew. They might say Phoebe, you are a really bad student at everything, and I agree with all your dormmates that you are always in somebody's way, like right now while I'm walking. Or they might simply brush past her with a cold look, which was virtually the same thing in Phoebe's anxious brain. What if they confiscated all of her posters, and then said that her friend probably didn't want Phoebe looking for her, and also that Phoebe was bad at making posters anyways, and that she had too much lung irritation and was annoying in their class when she coughed? Not that Professor Khanna had ever said THAT, even at their most unfriendly, but Phoebe's mind imagined that they could. She looked at them with the most biggest anxious eyes, hoping that perhaps there was another Phoebe Calypso standing right behind her who was a little taller.

"Uhm... nothing," she said, holding her DO YOU KNOW MY FRIEND AALIYAH posters close to her chest in a way that was intended to disguise them but actually had the words facing the professor's way. Realizing this, she stuck the papers behind her back instead and looked rather guilty. "I was just, you know, g-going to look at the club offerings, but I couldn't really see them, because my eyesight was bad, so then... um..." Yeah, Phoebe had no clue how she would explain this and she assumed that she wasn't allowed to set up posters, so. Here we were. "...yeah. I was just looking. At stuff. Sort of." Phoebe was trying not to be a big liar anymore, but it was just that she thought she'd get in trouble if she said that she wanted to put a poster up, and she still thought of Professor Khanna as strict even though they were so nice when they weren't being replaced by a mean alter ego.
