"ONE AT A TIME, I want you to STAND UP. BOW TO ME. Introduce yourself. Then tell me what it is you wish to be when YOU GROW UP. Assuming you EVER do." Lord Borr was SO TIRED. He was WORKING SO HARD to HELP these STUDENTS. SOOOOOOO HARRRRRRRRRD. He moved into his chair at the front of the desk and sat down, causing something similar to a weak earthquake in the classroom.
"GO ON. I dont HAVE ALL DAY. 1. STAND UP. 2. BOW. 3. NAME YOURSELF. 4. YOUR AMBITION. GO GO GO GO."

Laura flinched. Sure, she'd would look at him, she couldn't NOT look at him, he was sca-ry. Uh-huh, so scary, she was, like nearly paralysed. He knew what he wanted to be when he was her age? Well, she knew what
she wanted to do, and that was [i]never be in his presence again[/s] be a healer. Yup. But did she have to say it out loud?
Fingers crossed under the desk, Laura screwed her eyes shut and prayed he wouldn't say that they all ha-
Too late. She sighed and waited for her turn, as everyone else stood up and said, or stuttered, out their name and ambition, and whatever other nonsense that Lord dude had asked for. Shaking as she stood up, Laura blushed as she bowed, her low confidence levels showing.
"Laura Flamel, sir," she muttered, half to the floor.
"Snd I...uh, I want to be a Healer."
Uh huh. That over with, she sat down with a sigh, still trembling. Gawd, she wasn't looking forward to the rest of this lesson. She sank furthur into her chair, praying that the teacher wouldn't notice her anymore.
