Chapter 1

may you wear the morning well

 * First day of Chemical Literature, an upper division class at 8:00 am, with Professor Mustang.
 * Riza is eyeing that beast.
 * He smiles at her as he passes out the syllabus, row by row. She looks away quickly, without visibly showing her embarrassment.
 * He walks around the room and talks. The sound of his voice, brightness of the snow outside, and warmth of the room lull her to sleep.
 * She wakes up to her shoulder being tapped by the professor.
 * She apologizes, but he says it doesn't hurt his feelings—"just your grade".
 * She asks about extra credit, but he says he doesn't offer it.
 * She promises it won't happen again.
 * It happens again. Mid-class, everyone pretending to not notice, he slams a textbook next to her head and startles her awake, but he continues on with his lecture.
 * She catches him outside of his office and attempts to apologize and ask for extra credit again. DENIED. She follows him inside. She pleads her case, as she works a late-night job. ACCESS DENIED.
 * At home, she discusses her misfortune with Rebecca and Olivier, her roommates. Oliver isn't that helpful. Rebecca tries to offer encouragement and ways around Riza's plight, but no suggestions help.
 * The goobs look at Mustang's Rate My Professor page.
