The Dragons Fire Dancer

Divine Jackson sat down in her last class for the week trying very hard to listen to what the lecturer was saying , nothing was getting through because she was so exhausted .

She grabbed her coffee cup and emptied the milk tea that she had bought on her way into the campus earlier .

This was bad , she always made sure her milk tea did not finish before she was ready to leave campus because then she got cranky and nothing the lecturers said ever made sense .

Divine felt it again, the eyes that she always felt on her during class .

It had been going on for a while , she would feel someone staring at her but she never looked back because there was just too many people sitting behind and she would rather not draw attention to herself by turning around.

Someone asked a question regarding the mid semester assignment he had given them and Divine sat up straighter , she had also been having issues with the assignment .

The lecturer told the guy that had asked the question that if he had read the previous notes , he would not have issues with the assignment , so Divine quickly drafted a couple of notes that she needed.

1. Go through the last class's note again.

2. Finish my draft on the mid semester business analysis assignment.

3. Drink some fucking water.

Divine wrote the third one down as she noticed the flaky , pasty feel her palm was giving her .

She was probably really dehydrated or maybe she was just over exerted , she had never really been great at knowing when to stop,she just worked till she broke down or something worse happened.

She put her pen down and looked back up at the lecturer that was giving them yet another assignment to do when she was still defaulting on the last one .

Divine groaned deeply into her hoodie, she groaned a little too loudly and the whole class seemed to have heard because they all began to chuckle.

Divine raised her head slowly, avoiding their eyes as she smiled apologetically.

The lecturer had stopped what he was doing and was looking at her sternly .

" Miss ? ", he called stiffly , his voice cold over the public address system of the lecture auditorium .

Divine jumped on to her feet, upsetting her books and thankfully empty coffee cup as she did so.

She bent down to pick her things , earning more chuckles from the class as she huddled around clumsily .

" Sir ? ", She replied quietly.

The lecturer took off his glasses and began to rub his temples , closing his eyes for a second before he opened them again to regard Divine .
