Cris was waiting for class to start when, from the corner of his eye, he noticed someone sitting next to him. Turning his head, he realized that it was Jasmine. His day just got much better. Smiling at her, he mouthed a hello greeting. Of course he would have said it aloud if not for the fact that Professor Flamsteed had officially started his lesson.

Giving Jasmine a conspiratorially wink, he turned to the front and listened as the Professor posed his first question. What was his favorite season of the year? No brainer there. Cris waited for the others to share their answers before he raised his hand.

"Professor, my favorite season is Autumn. I love it when the fauna and flora start to change colors, especially when the leaves change from green to red, orange and yellow," Cris paused for a second to savor that memory. Then he continued with his reason.

"I also like the brisk cool air. Not yet freezing though so it's still nice to go hiking. One of the other reasons I love Autumn is, when the time is right, I can gaze up at the night sky and see the Aurora Borealis. Now that sight is breath taking. However, if I'm not lucky to see that, I know there's still a whole bunch of constellations I can spot, for example Andromeda, Cassiopeia, Pegasus and even the Triangulum."

....Hey this was Astronomy class....and Cris did love to star gaze. What a coincidence indeed.
