Lenore sat at her desk near the front of the class with Percival perched on her shoulder. I smiled and felt a deep sense of relief seeing her back.

“I’m glad you’re here,” I said, stopping in front of her as I turned to head down my row. She glanced up.

A plain black, ill-fitted eye patch covered her left eye.

“Are you feeling better?” I asked, standing beside her, inadvertently blocking another student from reaching their desk.

“Excuse me.” Davy hissed as he shoved my shoulder and pushed past.

Lenore wouldn’t look up at me again. She took a deep breath and stared at the empty journal pages between her hands, grasping her pen tightly.

“Sit down, Mr. Grey,” Professor Vandermeer commanded, pointing a long, bony finger toward my desk. She looked over the class and added, “The rest of you, give a warm ‘welcome back’ to Miss Starling, please. She has faced a difficult last few days and has finally recovered enough to participate again.”

The class clapped pitifully and then Professor Vandermeer reached into a rectangular bin on her desk and removed a large stack of paper. “You will have one hour to complete your test. After that, you will lose a point for each additional minute you require.” She passed a test to Lenore and whispered, “You don’t have to take it today if you’re not up to it.”

Lenore kept her head down, but I heard a muffled reply of, “I’ll do it.”

Once all the tests were distributed, we waited for the professor’s instruction to start, and then directed our faces to the hefty, double-sided, and stapled pack of questions.
