"Knock knock..."
"Come in!"
Upon hearing the voice from within the office, Basil Jaak walked in with the leave application in his hand.
The school principal of Dawn Sutton School was a middle-aged woman with short hair that was level with her ears, and a pair of rimless glasses on her nose that made her look capable and intelligent.
"You are..." Leona raised her head to find Basil Jaak unfamiliar, unlike any of the school's teaching staff.
Basil Jaak walked in, smiled and introduced himself: "Hello Principal Leona, I am a friend of Dawn Sutton. I am here today to help her apply for leave. This is Dawn Sutton's leave form."
As he spoke, Basil Jaak handed over the leave form to Leona who took it and examined it carefully, a glint of confusion flashing in her eyes.
Basil Jaak explained: "Miss Sutton was injured and her hand is not very convenient, so I filled out the leave form on her behalf."
