James came over to sit by me, looking...not happy? And a bit scared. Was I too violent? Did he think I'd hit him too? Shit!

I tapped his shoulder as gently as I could and he turned to look at me. "Hey, James, I'm, um, sorry if I scared ya."

I saw Sammy, who had just sat down, smirk. Is he making fun of James? Or me?

I turned around, pretty sure I was either scowling or smiling. "Ya ain't makin' fun, is ya?"

Sammy shook his head, patting my shoulder. "Don't worry Jed. I don't make fun of my friends."

I nodded. "A'ight..."

James tapped my shoulder. "Calm down, Jed. You are scowling."

I touched my face and realized he was right. That must be why my vision changed. I fixed my face, feeling it to make sure I was happy-looking. "Better?"

James nodded. "Yes. And you did not scare me, Jed."

I'm pretty sure I was beaming. "Praise the Lord!"

Mrs. Kidney sighed. "Jed, please, shut up."

I nodded quickly and mimed zipping my lips. "Yes ma'am!"

She nodded. "Thank you."

For the rest of the class, I did my best to stay quiet, only getting hit with the ruler once!

I was so proud of myself.

At least, I was till shit hit the fan.
