Hooting loudly Alexis grinned as Professor Dainsie announced the five students who basically earned all the points that were not up on the board. Calming down she looked back at the Professor seriously. That couldn't be all she wanted to tell them. Could it?

As the real news came out Alexis's smile faded. Professor Dainsie was leaving. This was unheard of! Insane! Dainsie had been one of the first Professors she had ever met. The woman had been here for 16 years!! Didn't that mean that she had to stay until she was like....dead? "Miss...do you mind me asking? Why are you leaving?" Alexis asked trying to keep an upbeat tone in her voice.
