As happy as he was for their regular history professor for her pregnancy announcement, he most certainly did not appreciate her disappearing for maternity leave. Of course he understood the need for it, but it was so damn inconvenient. He’d spent the last three months sucking up to her in every way possible and now she’d left - all of his work had been for nothing.

He had no telling of what this new professor would be like - would they be the friendly sort or would they be stand-offish? Would they like it when he asked questions or would they get annoyed at his persistent curiosity? - the possibilities were endless and it was unnerving. Thus far he hadn’t been able to discern much of his professor’s personality from his teaching method, other than his obvious professionalism and vast knowledge, and it was only serving to continue unsettling his nerves.

It wasn’t until he finally managed to gather his courage to bite the bullet and just approach his temporary professor, that he finally managed to feel some kind of contentedness.
