Walk inside

Taking a deep breath, Ruby grasped the doorknob and turned it, the door creaking causing Ruby to wince as she walked into the classroom.

As soon the door opened, Port raised a bushy eyebrow and looked over to the entrance.

For a tense moment, Ruby awaited his reaction. He seemed nice enough when he was teaching, but there was no telling what he'd do when the two of them were alone.

"Hello? Who's there?" he asked, causing Ruby to release a breath she didn't realize she was holding.

"Uh, i-it's just me, P-Professor!" Ruby stammered out, walking over to one of the desks. "I just, uh...forgot my bag!"

"Ah, Ms. Rose!" Port called out, the corners of his moustache lifting in a smile. "Always a pleasure to see you."

"Uh...t-thank you, Professor..." Ruby said, kneeling to grab the bag and slinging it over her shoulder. "Well...I should probably get back to my team." She turned and began walking towards the door. However, when she was only a few feet away, Port spoke up.

"Ah, I remember my team. You know, when I was a young lad, we..."

Ruby stopped, her hand mid-reach for the doorknob. She had tried to keep her words brief, so as to not give him a chance to jump into one of his long-winded stories about the "good ol' days". But it appeared Port's ability to reminisce knew no bounds. And now she was stuck, standing completely nude in front of one of her teachers while he prattled aimlessly.
