Forty five minutes later the bell to begin school rang as everyone from the gym and lunch room started to go to class. Riley packed her stuff and thanked me for my help then walked out of the door.

I logged onto power school and got prepared for class as I fixed up a few things in are schedule. I fixed some papers and typed some stuff as kids walked into the room for first hour.

"What's for today's boring class!" Commented a student.

"Sitting in the office with Boggs if you want to that's what!" I said back.

The kids frowned and glared harshly at me than sat down. I sat down at my desk as well. Again I fixed stuff up while waiting for the bell to ring.

"I don't think we are going to be friends Mr.McDowell!" said the kid.

I looked back at her smiled and said " what's your name?".

"Haley! Why?".

"Because HALEY! I really don't care if we're friends just deal with me!"

"Why should I"

"Because I'm your teacher!".

She pouted and turned away from me. I turned back towards my computer screen and tried to focus.

Soon though as normal my attention span didn't last long. I got bored and started to look up random stuff. I typed in "Riley Lindemann" into the power teacher student search and pressed search. Up came a name on the screen. It read " Lindemann, Riley age 14, Grade 8".

I clicked on the name title and then popped up a profile of her. It had her picture, phone number(s), address, email, age, weight, height, birth date, country of Origen, and past school history.

I stared at her photo then began searching google maps for her house. I highlighted the address info on her profile then pasted it into the search on google maps. Quickly it brought me to a green house a little far from mine. It had a brown roof and a garage. A big window on the left side then a smaller window on the right. It also had a white door and a tree in the middle of the yard.

"Mr.McDowell!" said a student.

I looked up from the computer to notice a kid standing at my desk looking at my computer. I quickly exited google and power teacher before the student noticed anything strange.

"May I help you?" I asked.

"Can I borrow a pencil?" Said the student.

"Yeah" I answered.

I searched through my messy desk drawer for a pencil as I come across an old letter from my girl friend. I grabbed the pencil next to it and gave it to the kid as I reached back for the note. I cautiously opened it then began to read.

" Dear Robbie,

I miss you! It's been a while since I last saw you. What was that like about seven weeks ago? I love the gift you sent to me for my birthday! I wonder how you knew I wanted that new dress? Was it my mom!?! I love you Robbie.

Your girlfriend,

Angela.

I finished reading and slid it back into my desk then focused on teaching. I got up and walked to the middle section of the room and began teaching. Just like I would the rest of the freaking day.
