Unable to control it, one of her perfectly groomed brows rose as her brown-green eyes swept sideways for a sign of...anyone with some brains in this classroom. Call it arrogance, disrespect, whatever you may want but Daphne Hopton didn't particularly care in impressing Professor Borr.
He was rude, grotesque, uncouth, uncivilized, and a pig.
Plus he got her name wrong. Off the list you go, Borr. For being a rather insolent adult who clearly didn't know any better. Clearly. Mother was going to read all about it. In a lengthy letter. Alongside with her complaints about her old trunk. Which had not been added extra space.
"Yes, sir," answered the blond finally, doing her best to seem apologetic. "I shall give my future considerable thought."
And hope desperately that she would never become someone like him. O_o

"I SEE we have a FEW men with the
HEAD IN THE CLOUDS! WITH YOUR HEAD IN THE CLOUDS!!! I want you three to get up,
go to my lounge, and
begin a list of how and why your ambitions are worthless. I want you to talk it over with each other and I want you to wait on me there. YOU WILL GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF THE CLOUDS BEFORE THE year is over, sons! I WILL HELP YOU. Now, go, before you taint the minds of my other students!! GO."
Lord Borr had spoken.
After one more failed attempt to stand, Lord Borr rolled his chair out to the middle of the room. "Everyone
ELSE GET UP. Get up. Right now,
DO NOT DALLY. I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR DALLYING.
I want everyone to GET UP and GO TO THE WINDOW and tell me what YOU SEE! HURRY UP! MOVE MOVE MOVE. What is outside? WHAT DO YOU NOTICE?"
Lord Borr's tummy began to RUUMMMMBBLLLLEEE. He was quite hungry. Poor busy and important LORD Borr.
The man had been shouting ever since before Daphne had walked into the room. Rolling her eyes while his attention was elsewhere she smiled sympathetically in Willow Kovac's direction. At least--she hoped it seemed sympathetic and not a painful grimace because this entire class was being extremely painful to digest.
Jack Fritzera was--well, he was in a tough little position. She too smiled at him perhaps with less effort to seem sympathetic. Just a little less effort than she had put into Willow's smile.
Following the shouting man's instructions she walked towards the window and stared out with a rather bored expression. What kind of question was that? What do you see? What do you expect to see? It was the GROUNDS. There was grass and trees and wind and a sky. Nature. Everyone was giving...interesting answers.
A limitless sky full of possibilities. Hehe. Oh.
Merlin.
"The horizon?" ventured Daphne and--didn't roll her eyes. Not this time.
