This was well written. The only issue I can point out is to remove the " at the end of the ficlet. But other than that I like how you used dialogue to describe what was going on and the teacher. It was humorous, but not in an untasteful way which I think was your strong point with this. :)

@LittleSecrets, thanks. I missed that!

Very sad but also sweet. The windowless room was a nice parallel, and the flowers were kind of a nice, hopeful touch to both.

There are few ficlies to which that “Lie on floor/Try not to cry/Cry” meme applies to, but with that last line, you might just have reached it. This was great!

@H.S. Wift that is very sweet of you.
