Sophie did the whole 'jaw drop...clamp mouth shut...jaw drop...clamp mouth shut' routine a few times before she finally clamped her mouth shut and didn't open it again. A detailed essay?! BUT WHY?! She didn't even know recent history--only prehistoric history! Well, not that long ago, but not recent either!

BAHHH.

She wondered what would happen if she just fell out on the floor, book bag and all. Maybe somebody would at least roll her out the door. After all, that's what the professor had said to do--roll out. Meh. That would take too long. So instead, Sophie just grabbed her book bag and walked robot-style out the door, wide eyes and all.
