Helen was walking in one of the hallway of the Sanctuary. Since Katryn has left for Oxford two months ago it was calm. Too calm. Helen entered in the library and jumped. Katryn was in one of the armchairs reading a book.
"What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in class."
Katryn throw the book on the coffee table and got up.
"It's true." Said Katryn with casualness.
"So, why are you here?" Asked Helen. "And I want a good excuse."
"I don't want to return at Oxford." Katryn sat on a table.
Helen put her hands against her forehead. She started to walked.
"Stop! If I'm not hallucinating." Helen stopped, pointed a finger at Katryn and continued to walk. "You take the first plane and came here." Stopped again then continued to walk. "Just to say you don't want to return to the university." Helen stopped and stare at Katryn. "It's not a good excuse."
"If you want I have another one in store but you won't like it."
"I think I heard worse from you." Said Helen waving her hand in a go on movement.
"Cause they're stupid."
Helen rolled her eyes.
"You're kidding, right?"
"Nope. I'm widely more intelligent than them."
"Don't you think you're overestimate you? Just a little bit." Said Helen. "Oxford is one of the best university I know. I went to Oxford and I can tell you they're no stupid student."
"It's not only the student! The professors are also stupid." Said Katryn.
"So you want to quit university? Do you know what I had to do to register you?" Said Helen with anger in her voice.
"I'm sorry believe me, but I learn more by myself or with you." Said Katryn trying to apology.
"Ok. I'll call the university and ask if you can have a diploma."
Katryn smiled and kissed her mother's cheek.
"You're the best!" Katryn left the library.
