The last week of the term came quickly. Plays were held for parents, sports were performed and everyone was happy. "Hey Joan! Can you wait until next year?! It's going to be so fun!" Jennifer exclaimed, grabbing Joan's arm excitedly.

"I'm sure it will be," Joan replied, being careful not to give the impression that she would be staying or letting them know that she wasn't.

"What's got into you? You've lost your monitor spark."

"I just don't think... it'd be appropriate. What with me taking my fifth year exams..." It was true that Joan would be taking exams whichever school she went to. 

"Oh come on! You'll still have time to be a monitor!" 

"Please, Jennifer. Don't vote for me. Vote for Elizabeth or something."

"But Joan! We all want you to be monitor!"

"Jenny, I'm sorry..." Her eyes filled with tears and one trickled down her cheek. "I'm not coming back after the summer."
