"Here is next semester's class schedule," Clarissa said with a grin, handing Havi one of the lists in her hand. Their classes were taking their finals right now, but had other professors watching them, leaving the two free for two hours. "Another light load for you, I see."

Havi glanced at the paper. He was never emailed his schedule, everyone knowing that he never checked his email as often as he should. The schedule showed that his classes were all in the afternoon, and his office hours were scheduled immediately before each class. He was teaching Mythology, Fables vs. Reality, and Ancient Religion, all classes that sounded easy to get students to sign up before they realized how hard Havi's classes were.

"I think they give you those to trick students," Clarissa continued, used to her friend not replying. "It's really mean if you ask me. Well maybe students will be smart enough to actually check out their professors this time."

Havi smirked. On the website where students could post reviews of their professors, Havi had almost the worst grade. Very few students liked him, and mostly because they liked studying independently and didn't mind a professor who was fast paced and unforgiving. The majority dropped his classed within a week, giving him the worst rating and calling him evil and all sorts of bad names. "Only half full," he commented, noticing that his mythology class only had about twenty students signed up.

Clarissa giggled. "Maybe they're smarter than you give them credit for."

Havi added the paper to the stack that was building on his desk. He then looked back at Clarissa, giving her the obvious signal to leave. She stuck her tongue out at him, leaving without a word.

Havi got onto his computer, deciding to blow off steam. He wasn't a big fan of online games, but one in particular always grabbed his attention and before he knew it he had a subscription and played it whenever he was frustrated.

"Back again selfish wizard?" a message read as soon as his character had generated.

Havi sighed and ignored it. He knew the man would find him soon, and he wanted to go and buy a few artifacts before his day being ruined. Sure enough, the wizard who had sent the message approached Havi after the professor had bought a new staff.

"You owe me for those spell books!" the wizard growled.

Havi snarled and typed, "Well it's not my fault those books were burnt up. I was going to pay that thief a visit right now."

The wizard, whose real name was Rein but went by Hallyne in the game, crossed his arms and pouted, "You wouldn't be alive right now if it wasn't for me." He worked with Havi at work and they were in the same department, but despite having similar interests they never got along.

Havi rolled his eyes and typed back "I had it planned from the beginning." The game had a special system when it came to character deaths. Each time a character died, they would respawn within a short time. However, if a character died repeatedly within a short time, their character would be deleted. The game allowed players to keep multiple characters, but Havi only possessed one, meaning that if Hallyne hadn't saved him he would have been deleted.

"I'm going," Havi said, moving away and leaving the other man to pout.

Another note from me! If there are random interruptions with numbers, please tell me. They're notes I made on my master copy and forgot to remove. Thanks!
