My heart fell out of my chest. My mouth went dry as I slowly turned around, I could feel the blood rushing from my face. "I....I..." But before I could run one of my excuses, my jaw dropped when I saw who it was.
Professor Clarkson. He wore neat, thick robe with silk and fur lining. Along with elegant academy promoting slippers. He asked me again, "What exactly do you think you are doing, Miss Mony Lundson?".
"Sir, I was just..."
"Walking around past curfew is extremely prohibited, you of all students should be aware of our academy rules. I hope you have an extraordinary explanation." He interrupted
"I do sir, actually, I was coming to speak to you" I managed to get out.
Clarkson smiled coldly, "Speak to me? Well Miss Lundson, please get to it."
I smiled uneasily back, "Sir I was confused, I am not on the list..."
He boomed out laughter, "Mony, Mony, Mony! Of course you are not on the list! You are the highest ranked students in this academy, surely you know that. You will be representing this school as number one. I would have told you tomorrow, but it seems you are rather impatient." He smiled again.
"Sir I apologize to the highest degree." I begged
Professor Clarkson suddenly went solemn, "Mony there will be consequences for your actions."
"I know sir, but please! I was only.."
His voice got dark, "There are always consequences!"
