Paula: " hey I'm gonna be a little late"  

Hannah:  " that's all good, I'm a little busy too, i text u when im done"

" Ms. Jefferson?"

" mhmm?" she responds. I walked towards her and she writes on the white borad. as i speak to she doesn't  turn to face me or stop writing

" i just wanted to explained what happened earlier today,"

"Mhmm," she continues to write

" well, before we got into the class, me and uh-"

" Mr. Morito ?" she stops for a moment and turns her  head slightly

" uh yes? well he and I had bumped heads before coming into the class today "  she continues to write

"Well, why sit next to him?" she questions.

" well he disrespected," I inform

" He did?"

" yes he did, and I was trying to defend myself and if I'm being honest you did too, disrespected me i mean. Humiliating me in front of my peers on the first day even? u didn't even let me explain-"

" Listen Ms. Hamilton"  she closes the cap of her marker and turns towards me, her voice gets frim and loud but only enough for me to hear. As she speaks she looks me in the eye and i can feel my mouth shut and my heart drops.

"I know all about your conflict with Mr. Morito, your supervisor already informed me, this isn't high school, so there's no place for drama in my classroom-"

"I understand that "

" I'm not done". She cuts me off.


" But you are right, it wasn't right or fair of me to have embarrassed you in front of your peers" my heart starts to slow down.

"I need to show that I deserve respect for my students, being and young FEMALE teacher that's hard to get, and unfortunately you were caught in the crossfires of it."

I nod my head.

"I won't embarrass you like that unless it is truly necessary,"

" ok thank you "

" but that being said you know I can't let u switch seats"

" what! I thought we were going somewhere like a  friendship  was forming or something"

She lets out a soft chuckle

" if i let u slide then everyone would just think I'm only talk, sometimes we have to work with people we don't like "

I let out an annoyed sigh " true"

" thank you for coming by Paula,  and for clearing the air. I'll see u next week"

" see ya next week" I walk away

Okay, things are turning around wahoo..

*bling*

Hannah: "Meet us at Hal's diner, send me the number of the booth u choose "

Paula: "Us? Whos us?"

Hannah: "You'll see ;)"
