Kristie stood at Alayna's office door, clutching a chocolate lab's collar.

"Yes Kristie?" Alayna said looking up from her grading.

Kristie walked in and sat down in the chair across from Alayna.

"I need help professor." She said stroking the dogs coat.

"With what Kristie?" Alayna asked.

"Cedric." The girl replied.

Alayna sighed and put her hands on her desk leaning back. "And what heinous crime has he committed now?" She asked sighing.

"Nothing, he's done no crime." Kristie said.

"Then what's the... oh... That's adorable. Your in love with him." Alayna said smiling.

Kristie nodded. "I don't know what to do about it though."

"Let me tell you two things. First, Cedric is like his father. His father was in love with me from the moment he first saw me. But only noticed it after he left school in my 5th year." Alayna said standing up.

She then moved over to Kristie knelt down and put her hands on Kristie's shoulder.

"Second, and trust me on this. Trust your intuition. And the Universe will guide you." Then she kissed Kristie's forehead lightly.

"You got that off a fortune cookie didn't you ?" Kristie laughed. "No I didn't. Just thirty-nine years of experience. And trust me when I say I saw a lot in those thirty-nine years."

Kristie nodded. "Fine I'll trust myself. Thanks Professor."

"No problem." Alayna said and Kristie grabbed the dog's collar and they left.

Alone Alayna shook her head and headed off to the teacher's lounge.

She had bets to place.
