A shaky breath passed through the auburn-haired girl's lips as she knocked on the slightly ajar door, stepping inside with a sound of approval from the man inside.
"Hello, Mr. Spengler," she said softly, meeting his friendly grin with an uncouth one as he finished writing a few things on the board.
"Early to class, are ya?" he mused, raising a bushy brow as he finished up his sentence on the board.
"I guess," she breathed out, awkwardly holding a binder in front of her lanky body as she stood in the empty space. "I hope you don't mind... It's just that it's my first class of the day, and I like being early to things. But if it bothers you, I can come on time and not--"
"No, it's fine. Don't worry, Miss..."
"Erin Gilbert." she interjected, nodding her head slowly as her eyes trailed to the board. "Syllabus stuff?"
"Yep. Boring, I know, but they make us all do it. It's honestly the last thing I wanna spend time on. I tried to persuade them to just let me hand them out and forget it, but..." he shrugged, turning to reread the board.
"At this point, I'm sure we all have the school rules and procedures tattooed into our brains." Erin chuckled softly.
"Brain tattoos? You can do those?"
And that's when her life would seemingly change.
