Rest

"Mr. Lawcroft didn't come today."

Ciara halted and turned to see Serah's serious expression. Normally, Serah would tease her about wanting to see their homeroom teacher, but this wasn't currently the case.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

Richard Lawcroft was their homeroom teacher, so it was only natural that he would be around. Yet, Serah said otherwise.

"Oh yeah. You came late today, so you don't know." Sam said, looking at Ciara.

"He had a day off today, so we had a substitute homeroom teacher today. He did say Mr. Lawcroft would be back in two days."

Ciara's expression appeared confused, wondering whether his absence had anything to do with her.

"Welp, there's no use overthinking it. I hear it's pretty common for lecturers to take breaks, and who wan blame them? I mean... If no one else, Mr. Lawcroft deserves to rest." Serah pointed out.
