Talking to Ms. Holland

Well. You can imagine how awful that afternoon was. Hannie and Nancy gave me sympathetic glances when the last bell rang. Everyone stood up to leave except me.

Ms. Holland sat at Ms. Colman’s desk, straightening her books.

“I am afraid I will miss the school bus,” I said in a small voice.

“I am sure it will wait for you,” said Ms. Holland. “And this will not take long.” She stood up and faced me. “Karen, I am extremely disappointed in you. I was told by Ms. Colman that all of the children in her class were well behaved, hardworking, courteous, and honest. But you played with a toy during class time and then complained after I took it away from you. And now this. Taking it from Ms. Colman’s desk! I do not know what to do or say to you.”

I hung my head and waited for her to go on. I suspected that, even though she said she did not know what to say to me, she would come up with something.

Well, I had something to say to her too. I was just waiting for the chance to say it.

“Do you have anything to say for yourself?” asked Ms. Holland.

This was my chance, so I took it.
