I must respect myself, my uniform and my professors.

Ruby gasped at the chalk snatching and sucked in her bottom lip to keep it still. She glared at the professor and then stared at the shapes written up. Words. Sure. Whatever. Trying to copy was even harder than writing what someone told her to write. It swam before her eyes, like the letters thought it was funny not to stay where they belonged. Ruby knew what it said, but
knowing what it said,
reading what it said, and
writing it, were three very different things. She lifted her chin and took the chalk then stepped close to the board again. She wrote painstakingly, determined and yet she was kind of shaken by it now and frustrated and anxious and that just made it even
worse. The chalk didn't make it easier either, and the stupid dress and the cushion crown, and the professor
looking at her like that...
Eyes prickling slightly now, she met Bellaire's eyes, chin still up and defiant.
