This was officially torture. It simply had to fall under the category of torture that would have been banned in the American Constitution she had been reading about, and the worst part of it was that it was entirely self-inflicted. Oh sure, there were certainly those who would have thought that it wasn’t all that bad, but those were the slackers that would have sat at the back of class in the first place. Hermia was not one of those. She was a girl who desperately wanted to learn now that she actually had the right to an education. She was the one who sat in front, and wrote notes, asked questions, and even occasionally answered them. She was a diligent student in the truest sense of the word.
Now how was she supposed to show that to the new teacher that abruptly arrived to replace their permanent sub without having everyone drooling over her? If it had still been their sub, at least she had known that Hermia wouldn’t have sat in the back without extenuating circumstances…assuming that the sub wasn’t going to be falling all over herself for her. Gods, she respected the woman, she wouldn’t have wanted that. Maybe it was a good thing she was replaced…although that just meant there was a chance the new teacher was going to just get in line.
Letting out a moan, Hermia planted her face onto her desk out of pure frustration. She was actually one of the first people who had even entered the class, so at least she was saved the trouble of looking like an idiot to her classmates…who probably wouldn’t have noticed anyway on account of falling in love with her…Gods, could this situation get any worse? How was she supposed to continue furthering her education under these conditions? Even last year was better than this! At least she still had some of her priorities in order. She was more than capable of making eyes at the gorgeous blonde next to her and looking intelligent at the same time. This year she couldn’t afford to draw that kind of attention to herself.
Well this is going to be the perfect first impression for the new teacher, she thought bitterly.
