WHAAAAATTT?

He was going to make her pick up the dropped quill with her bare feet? The nerve of that...that...that...man! Merlin only knew what sort of filth dwelled on the floors of these dungeons, and Anna was not going to place her clean, bare feet on any part of them. Professor Truebridge could either pick up the quill for her, or he could suffer through not getting his stupid little list. Anna had far more important things to do anyway---like homework, for example. She was suddenly aware of heavy bag hanging from her shoulders, weighed down from the thirteen textbooks she'd brought along. Sighing, Anna dropped her left arm and let her bag fall to the floor. She felt sort of lost without her schoolwork, but perhaps feeling her foot right next to her bag would make up for the loss. Anna slid her foot over half an inch and kept it close to her schoolwork, similar to the way a child would clutch a teddy bear in their times of need.

Anna wanted out of this dark, dreary place, but she just refused to get barefooted in here. To prove her point, Anna dropped her hands and her parchment to her side and simply stood in place. There. That should show him. A few seconds later, Anna heard the sound of chairs scratching across the floor, and she knew getting the professor to hand her that quill would be a lost cause. Gritting her teeth, Anna kicked off her right shoe and sock and slid her foot across the floor until it met the quill. With a certain degree of difficulty, Anna more or less fought with the quill until she felt it wedged between her toes. Lifting her foot, Anna grabbed the quill and got herself back into a position to write.

Sighing, she scratched out what she had on number two and started over once again.

Why it is Important to Show Respect to
Professors, Even if You Are Supposedly Grown
Up Enough to Do More Than Hold Hands

1. When I decided to kiss Cale Newell repeatedly and then back talk Professor Truebridge, I ended up losing ten points. TEN POINTS!!! That's seriously one entire homework assignment, not counting any bonus parts, of course. Well, but...you know...I always do the bonus parts, so I guess in my case, this would be considered half of a homework assignment. Or, well, maybe these ten points could be the actual bonus. Yeah, okay...we'll go with that. I lost my bonus points. BOO. I worked hard for those, too.

Anna figured she should at least talk about the actual professor at some point, too, though. Number one was a good answer, and it was true, she had lost some hard earned bonus points, but she didn't figure talking about her own hardships would get her out of detention.

2. The professors are more or less our parents away from home. They deserve the same amount of respect we give to our mothers and fathers. They're older and wiser than we are, and we can learn a great deal from them if we'll just learn to listen to them and do as they tell us to do. This means no kissing your significant other in the corridors, for one. It also means that when the professors tell us to do something, we should do it without any questions or comments.

3. It's also important to show respect to the professors, because they will always lead us in the direction that's best for us. They are wise, as I stated earlier, and they've experienced more of life than we have. Speaking of leading in directions, Cale and I are both prefects, and we should respect the professors as an example to our housemates and fellow students. Right now, we're both not being very good examples. There's no telling what our housemates...what the entire school...thinks of us!

Anna paused, wondering if a half hour had passed yet...
