"Did you hear, Mr Ethan's no longer teaching, I heard he retired this year," Madeline said to the others.
Briar gasped, "Wait, seriously?"
Madeline nodded, "Yeah, didn't you know about it?"
Her friend shook her head.
Stephanie added, "I heard he and his wife are going through a nasty divorce."
Briar placed her hand on her mouth, she liked Mr Ethan. As a professor, of course. Not in that way. That was strictly reserved for someone else.
"Oh my goodness," Briar said.
[Author's Note: The reason Briar goes with 'oh my goodness' and not 'oh my luna' like she usually does is because she's with her friends. Her normal, human friends that have no idea she's a werewolf.]
Ruth said, "We should probably change the subject into something less depressing."
Madeline agreed, "Totally."
"Would you look at the time? I don't want this to end," Briar admitted.
