Kristen walked towards her car, not bothering about the rest of her classes, or even if the Dean was bluffing.
She spotted Ivan standing near his car.
"Professor Zakhrov! Wait up!" she called, and broke into a run to catch him before he got in.
Ivan turned in surprise.
"Ms. Ford?" he asked, before Kristen nearly knocked him off his feet as she threw herself into his arms.
"Ms. Ford? What happened?" asked Ivan as Kristen started to cry into his chest.
"I've been expelled because of the internship," she sniffled.
"I'm so sorry. I'll help you fight this," he said, rubbing her back.
She shook her head and looked up at him.
He was shocked to see her not sad, but radiant.
"I'm not sad about it, Professor. I stood up to the dean and told him to stuff it. I can. No, I want to work full time at Sirius Software," she said wiping her eyes.
"Then why the tears?" asked Ivan, still a little confused.
