"Anna? Could you by any chance help me pack up my desk, just in case I'm not able to return?" To be honest, Macadrian wasn't sure if Headmistress Rae would allow her back next term with all the fuss she'd caused, or if she would even be healthy enough to return. "There are boxes in the closet by the china cabinet. Unless, you have to be going somewhere... in which case, I'll make Max do it." Macadrian chuckled while awaiting Anna's reply.[/B]
"Yes ma'am?" Anna asked, snapping out of her 'lost in thought' state when she heard her name being called. "Not able to return?!?!" she called out, her eyes threatening to spill over in tears. She didn't realize the situation might stand a chance of ending at that point. "I mean, erm...yes, Professor Shackleton. I'll get right on that immediately." Her face fallen and her spirits dampened, Anna trudged over to the desk, ready to pack it up.
Anna nodded when the professor pointed her in the direction of the boxes. "No, ma'am," Anna answered. "I can get it. Thanks, though." She gave the professor a forced half-smile and then headed to the cabinet to get some boxes. When she had enough gathered, she returned to the desk and began to pack the items carefully.
