Luna had always been kind of lonely girl. She didin´t have any siblings, her parents were really busy, so she spend most of her times with her books. With her books she had been traveling around the world, had amazing adventures and met great people. But in reality, it was just she alone in her room. She had a private teacher, an old lady who really was interested about good manners and handicraft, so her life literally was inside her house, mostly in her own room. Her only friends were characters from her books.

When she turned 18 years old, her parents finally decided that it was time for her to move on with her life and she was sent to boarding school for girls. School was amazing old castle by lake and close to the mountains and she could not believe the beauty of the place when she first arrived there.

Luna´s school was not any ordinary school. It was special school for young ladies from rich and powerful families. The whole purpose of that school was that on their second year in school they would met their coming husband from some other rich and powerful families. In their school they studied a bit normal subjects like math and science but also skills that wives of rich and powerful husbands needed like how to make perfect dinner parties or have interesting conversations.

So her new school for sure was amazing place but it was not enough to take away her nervousness of being in a new place. She found her room and met her roommate. She was a girl, the same age as she was, but having much more sparkly and chatty personality. Luna was happy that her roommate did the most of the talking and she could just sit on her bed listening her chatting about other girls, professors and how their school year would start in their new school. She found out that her room mate was called Anika and she had 4 older sisters, who all have been in this school before. So she had pretty good idea of what would happen to them there.

At 15:00 Luna followed Anaika to big hall, where all the students had their very first meeting for that school year. Place was full of laughs and happy chatting when girls were meeting each others after long summer holiday. Anika told her that girls would be divided in different study groups where they would stay whole year. Luna could hear girl names being called when professors where calling their groups to gather around and start their first lesson for that semester. But she could not hear anyone mentioning her name.

Soon she noticed that there was just one professor left. He had a dark hair, his skin was dark too and he was not smiling at all. There were just 9 girls left with her so she figured out that dark looking professor was going to be her group´s leader. She was happy to notice that Anika was in the same group with her.

Professor M was teaching math. He had reputation of being the most strict professor in whole school and Anika had been worried of getting in his group. But there they were and there was nothing they could do about it. She was happy that at least they were there together.

Other groups seems to have something nice planned for their first lesson but Professor M´s group got just right into the studying. He asked their names and after that gave them their first test of the year to see what their math level truly was. Luna was in panic, she was terrible in math and she didin´t understand a thing in it. Tears were running on her cheeks when she took her empty paper back to professor. She was afraid of being kicked out of that school and forced to go back to her small room. She had just tasted the freedom but it already made her old life seem even more smaller than before. She could not go back home.

Professor saw her empty paper and told her to get in his room at 19 after dinner. She felt so bad for the rest of the day. Even breathing felt almost impossible. She was sure that her visit in that school would only last that one day.

She could not eat her dinner or focus on anything. Whole dinner she had heard older students telling horror stories about Professor M. Anika was trying to tell her that there was no way she would be sent home that day and it made her feel a bit more comfortable. So when she knocked on his door 19:00, she was feeling really nervous.
