Character/Pairing: Serena
Prompt: Waiting impatiently for something.
Words: 344
She is meant for greater things than… this.
That's what Serena thinks every time she is told that she is not ready and has another book on Dueling Theory pushed on her face.
She's has always been sure of that, and she has also made sure to let everyone know about it, no matter how many times they try to shut her up, how many times the grumble about her unsavory attitude behind her back - or sometimes right on her face - or how many times they claim that she only get away with everything is because she's the Professor's favorite.
The last time someone had dared to say that, they had had a bowl of boiling soup thrown on their faces.
The fact that had been locked down on her tower one more time afterwards had no ebbed the satisfied feeling she had gotten when the hot liquid splashed all over their silky-looking clothes.
They had it coming, even if they had a point Serena did not need the favor of anyone, if she could only be allowed outside she would prove to everyone that she was perfectly capable of making a life for herself.

Of course, it was like a moment of shining clarity inside the storm of thought that her mind usually was.
That's what she has been doing wrong! Waiting around for a better opportunity to be thrown at her! What a silliness, Serena understood that better now, they weren't going to give her one.
No one ever gives you anything in Academia, you had to earn them.
And as she ties together all the sheets of her bed into one long rope, and tries to guess if it would be long enough to reach the bottom or at least low enough for her to jump to the ground safely.
Yes, Serena was tired of waiting around, for an opportunity, for her freedom, for her future.
So she is going to take it with her own two hands.
Even if it's the last thing she does.
