"You need to hurry. We are going to be late, son. And I hate being late."

Charles knocked at his son's bedroom door impatiently.

River was finishing getting ready. She had to prepare some kind of thank you speech and didn't have time. That was way she was now still getting dressed.

"Almost done, Father!" She cussed mentally, then closed her buttons and looked for her gloves.

She was just putting one on her hurt hand when her father bursted in the room.

"Let's go. Now. You don't need those." He turned around and left the room, River followed, but still brought the second glove she hadn't wore yet.

As she got in the car, her phone buzzed. It was Sebastian, asking her where was she at. She managaed indeed to be late.

She quickly told him they were driving there and put the phone away since her dad was staring down at her.

River tried to smile a little, he huffed and went back at reading emails on his phone.

The drive to the school was quiet. As they pulled over, River was really in a hurry to get out. Charles called upon her though.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" He asked, walking up to River.

She looked at herself, finding nothing out of place. She looked at her father, confused.

Charles shook his head. "I want to speak with Jones, bring me to him." Her heart dropped at those words. What did her father wanted with him?

She did not have a choice. "His office is this way." She said as she tried to get a hold of Sebastian with her phone. He wasn't answering.

"River! Oh my God you look hot!" A couple of girls smiled and waved at her when they saw her heading to Jones' office.

River would have completely ignored them if she could have. The problem was, her father was right behind her.

He looked at the two of them with an amused smile, then turned his attention to his son, waiting to hear his answer.

River cleared her throat and faced them with a brilliant smile.
"Ladies. You look stunning. Thank you for being here tonight." He said with a little bow.

Charles smiled proudly.

"You were amazing on your expedition, River. You are so brave." The second girl told her as she tried to flip her hair dramatically.

River thanked her again, then her father came up and put his hands on her shoulders.

"You are very kind. River is the best. Excuse us now, we have a few things to discuss with professor Jones."

They blushed when Charles spoke and made their way to the atrium.

As River knocked on Sebastian's door, her father pat her back.

"I am proud of you son. Nice work back there."

The door opened, Sebastian looked at her.

"River I was-"

He interrupted himself when he saw who was with her. He had been so upset he didn't read his phone or smelled them coming. Or at least, he hadn't sensed Carter Senior.
