Little things change so much Part 35:

School

--------------------

A month later in Professor Randall's office:
"Miss Halliwell I called you in because of Prue. I'm really worried about her and I'm afraid no college will take her with how she behaves lately. She skips school whenever there are no exams. Her exam-results aren't exactly good neither... Because of those bad exams, her marks are sinking rapidly. Her teachers already tried to talk to her and so did I. but she always refused to take help. Her teachers and I really don't know what to do anymore."
Penny swallowed. She wanted Prue to be the best of the girls. To be a role model for Piper and Phoebe. She knew Prue's exams didn't go too well, because she couldn't concentrate on anything since she lost the baby. But she never had the courage of saying something. She knew how much this all hurt Prue. She still wasn't over the loss of the baby.
"I'm aware of all of this professor Randall. But Pruedence has had a few hard weeks. She was pregnant and lost her child. She was for days juts laying in her bed to star into nothing. It's not that I don't want her to have those final exams going great. Especially for my other granddaughters. Prue had always been a role model for them. But I know that she's still traumatized by all of it. when she comes home of school she goes straight to bed, starring at the ultra sound picture for a little while and then cries herself to sleep. She looses her friends because she closes up to everything and everybody. The only person she still talks to somewhat regular is her boyfriend. It simply was a great loss for her and she'll need some more time. I can't do much at the moment, but I'll naturally talk to her."
"I Hope she comes around soon. I tried already to get her into a talk with our school psychologist as well, but she also always refused that"
"She talks to no one, Professor Randall."
Penny repeated and he understood
"Pruedence always had been a great student and it would be a great loss for the school if her pregnancy or better ex-pregnancy would destroy all she built up. And her good qualifications for college.
"Thank you for caring"
Penny said, got up and shook his hand, then left the office.
