The Sacrifice
“Professor Canton, who teaches my Advanced Herbology lecture, says flatly. “You’ve missed enough class as it is, Ms. Krist. There is no way I will consider letting you take the final exam anywhere but right here in the classroom.”
“I understand,” I say humbly. “It’s just…I don’t have a ride to class tonight.” Also, I have been forbidden to leave the house by my strict vampire master, who is concerned about my safety. But that isn’t something I can really share with my prof.
“Look, Ms. Krist, I’ve been extremely patient with you,” he says.
“I cut you a lot of slack because I think you’re the most promising student I’ve had in years. But enough is enough. You can find yourself a ride to class tonight and take the exam with all the rest of the students, or fail the class.”
“Fail it?” I say, horrified. “But…but the damage that would do to my GPA would be irrevocable!”
“Then you’d better find a way to get here, hadn’t you? Eight o’clock tonight and don’t be late.”
