My Teacher

Chapter 3

Miss Mills was pleased to see everyone start working with smiles on their faces. Emma looks around to see everyone already working. "I hope we won't have the same problem we had last class Miss Swan. If you do not wish to pay attention in my class then I will gladly send you you out. So I suggest you get started. You already have lunch detention with me, want to make it after school as well? Get to work." After Miss Mills pep talk Emma's pencil took off. She lost track of reality and she escaped in to art world. The bell rings startling Emma. She looks down and gasps "what the hell. I can't turn this in." Emma days to herself. Miss Mills moves across the room gathering people's art work and giving them positives remarks before dismissing them. Emma being her most troubled student was last of course. "Well Miss Swan, Carr to show me what you have come up with?"  Miss Mills asked and all Emma could do was shake her head no! "Miss Swan, we have been over this, hand me your work!" Miss Mills said in a tone that she rarely uses. She is getting annoyed by this child. "No Miss Mills I can not show you my drawing. I don't even know why I drew it in the first place." "That's it!" Miss Mills yells. "You have after school detention with me as well. As I have said before I do not and will not take any foolishness in my classroom. Do I make myself perfectly clear?" Normally Emma would have a smart ass remark to give right back but this women scared her like no one has before. All Emma could do is nod.
    Miss Mills grabbed Emma's notebook and gasped. It was a beautiful black and white drawing of herself. Every detail was perfect. Every strand of hair was placed perfectly. Emma even got her scar right.

"Why Emma, this is amazing! You have immense extraordinary talent. I am very impressed." Emma just fidgeted in her seat. Emma was giving very little compliments growing up so she didn't necessarily know how to take them. "Can-can I leave now?" Emma asked and Miss Mills just nodded her head. Emma got up and gathered her things and started walking to the door but stoped dead in her tracks remembering that this is her lunch period and she is forced to spend it with Miss Mills. Emma turns around and sits back down in her seat all embarrassed. Miss Mills laughed "let me guess, this is your lunch period?" Miss Mills asked and all Emma could do was nod. Coincidentally it was Miss Mills lunch period as well. Mills takes out her salad that she mad earlier that morning and started eating.
    Emma was entranced with Miss Mills her eyes can't seem to look any where else. "Is there a problem Miss Swan?" "Oh, no ma'am." Emma stated pulling out a notebook and began writing.  Sometime has past and Miss Mills looks up from her grading to see Emma just drawing or writing away in her notebook. "So Miss Swan, let's talk about your assignment. It was to draw about something that makes you happy. Is this your way of telling me that I make you happy?" Emma just say there not really knowing what to say or do. "This is going to be a long and embarrassing lunch detention." Emma thought to herself.
