Natasha woke up half an hour earlier than usual, but she had to is she wanted to run, shower, eat her breakfast and dress nicely for the first day at college. She dressed quickly into her running clothes, grabbed her headphones and walked out the door of her medium apartment.

She started running her usual run, to the end of the street, where she passed by the Starbucks, ordered her coffee to go and then run again. She would pick that up on her way to college. She then went around the corner and once at the end of that street, she turned around and did a normal walking back home to cool down. It wasn't much but she liked it and kept her in shape.

She entered her apartment again around 7:30 am. She didn't own a dorm room, more because she had not been amused by seeing how it went there when her older sister was in college. It was a perk she had for being the youngest of a small family. She undressed, walked to her bathroom and took a shower. Around 8 am she was fully dressed and grabbed her bag. She send a text to the barista from the Starbucks and once there she grabbed her order, paid and was on her way to school.

Ready for her first day that would be only the beginning of her life.

Louise woke up early that morning. Normally she needed forever to get going, but today was extra so. She had stayed up way too late last night worrying and preparing for her first day as a professor instead of student. Sure, she had been a substitute and intern before, but this was a much different thing. From now on she would be responsible for her classes all by herself. It was gnawing at her mind. Was she really up to it? There was only one way to find out.

Eventually she rolled out of the bed and walked into the bathroom for a good and long shower. She smiled at her reflection in the mirror before she put towels around her body and hair and started making breakfast for herself soon after. After the coffee had brewed she poured it all into a thermos, a habit from her days working extra, ate her breakfast and got herself ready for the day.

A quarter to eight she was sitting in her study and started reviewing her material for the class, ancient religions. Not the most popular topic at the school, only had a few students. Louise sighed and grabbed her thermos and walked into the classroom and poured herself a cup of coffee and added a few pieces of sugar. Now there was only to wait foe the students to arrive. Perhaps even some she had shared classes with when she was a student? She started looking through the names, only two she recognized.

Natasha entered the big building and looked at the list of classes she had signed up for. She checked the class room and then the site from the college institute to see if she could guess who would be her teacher.

While scrolling, she saw a photo on the site of someone she recognised as a friend of her sister. She felt a weird feeling and looked at the small list of lessons the women have. Louise Carlsson... Not the typical girl next door yet on the other hand she could be. Tasha sighed and shook her head. She walked towards the class room and entered. She looked at the young women sitting there. "Hopefully I'm not too late" she said and walked to a seat in the front.

Of course the odds where against her! The young women before her was not only a good friend of her sister. This women was also the first crush from Natasha. Natasha grabbed her notebook and started it up. She opened a word document and looked at her teacher. Don'tstart to blush now Tasha she thought to herself.

"Welcome in Sasha. And no, you're not late at all." Louise smiled and chuckled. One of the two names she had recognized. Her bestie's younger sister. They'd met quite a few times over the years. At first Louise had been quite nervous around the sisters but after a while she had loosened up quite a bit. Although, her secrets remained secrets. Probably for the better she thought as Natasha sat down.

"Today's class isn't too hard anyway. I mainly want to know what you know." Louise smiled and nodded towards Natasha before finishing her cup of coffee. It took a few more minutes for everyone else to file in through the door and she smiled at the students with a warm smile.

"Good morning everyone." She said after a little while. "How nice for all of you to join us today. We're not missing anyone, but let's do a roll-call." Louise called out the names on the list and ticked them all off on the list one after the other.

Louise put the list away and poured another cup of coffee and took a sip. "All right. Lets see what you all know about ancient Egyptian mythology. Can anyone name a few of the gods that they revered? Write down your thoughts about their religion and rites on the papers that I'll hand out in a moment. Make sure to write down stereotypical things along with how you think it came to be. Then we'll go through the things with the whole class."

She got up from behind her podium and grabbed a stack of papers and started handing them out to everyone.

Natasha smiled even if she wasn't that happy. Egyptian gods and religion was the exact one she had not been able to read into that summer. She had been sucked into the Greek mythologies but she knew from high school a few. Then there was this other problem.. But she could easily solve that one.

When Louise passed by her table she smiled. "Ehm... Miss? I wanted to ask if I could get your approval of typing the things down because my handwriting is worse than that from a doctor" she said with a little smile. She had send this in a email to all the professor's that she would take classes from but she had probably missed this one.

She blushed a little from embarrassment, but also because she could feel that she still had a little bit of a crush on this women right in front of her.

"Hm?" The question stumped her for a moment. She turned her gaze towards Natasha and looked at her for a moment. "Oh yeah... Yeah, you do that." Louise nodded slowly. "Keep the paper anyway. Can always use it to write down ideas before you present it later on." Louise smiled at Natasha before turning around and started walking down to the podium once again.

"I'll give you all about twenty minutes to write down as much as you can remember before we get going with the class and brings your knowledge up to speed." She said and sat down on the chair and poured another cup of coffee and started scrolling through documents on her computer to freshen up her own memory slightly.

Natasha smiled and nodded on the idea about keeping the piece of paper. She grabbed her earplugs and started up her favorite music list on spotify. She then started to think and type down a few gods she remembered. It weren't much and for a long time she didn't come further than Anubis, Horus, Isis, Seth and Osiris. She decided that it was something and started up her internet browser, there she looked up some more information about these five Egyptian gods.

Anubis, a god with the head of a Jackal. Mostly seen as the god that looked over the process of mummifying after someone died, priests that did the mummification often wore a mask that looked like Anubis. Egyptians also believed he watched over the death.

Horus, a god with the head of a hawk. Egyptians believe that the ruling pharaoh was the 'living Horus'. Horus was the protector of the ruler of Egypt. Several different believes went round about Horus. One of the most common was that Horus is the son of Isis and Osiris. After Osiris was murdered by Seth, Horus and Seth fought for the throne. Horus lost a eye, which was restored to him and became a symbol of protection for the Egyptians. After the battle, Horus was chosen to be the ruler of the world of the living.

Isis, a goddess with a headdress that looked like a throne or a pair of cow horns with a sun disk. Isis is a very protective goddess, using very powerful magic spells to help people in need. She is the wife of Osiris and mother of Horus. She is very important since every pharaoh was considered the 'living Horus'.

She looked at her word document and felt proud. Even though she had to re-read a thing or two of the gods of Egypt, she knew some of it and felt really interested in learning more. Now was she a overall nerd and liked to learn a lot but some topics just were more her thing than others. She looked at the clock and saw she had only a few more minutes left. She started reading again and wrote down in her own words what she thought was important.
