While Principle Howard gets out my record and writes something on it I sit there and stare at my parents who are staring at my principle who is staring at my record. Howard starts to speak in his deep serious voice and says " Oh Taylor here again are you?" I say "Obviously I'm here you can see me"

His eyes grow wide and then he puts on his old people glasses which make them grow even wider. I sit quietly while my parents glare at me. He starts to talk about what happened in class. I'm not listening and then I hear my name and I say "What about me?" Howard says "Why we're you asleep in class?" I say back "I was tired an that's the thing that you do when you tired. You sleep and that's exactly what I did." He looks at me with disappointment and then with anger and then with seriousness and then he looks at me a look I'll never forget he looks at me with pity. Like he feels bad for me. Then he says "Taylor you have detention today after school and you may go back to class." Then he erases something from my record smiles and then tells my parent " I guess I'm not suspending her."
