Drag Him Down

Chapter three

heheh the chapters are getting longer... please vote and comment! i want to get to five reads for the next chapter to go up!

I wake up from my spot on the couch groggy from the deep sleep i was just in when i suddenly jolt awake.

shitshitshitshitshit i'm thinking while i check the time, i've overslept dangerously. i have absolutely no time to do anything except fix my eyebrows and run out the door. In the car i put my hair in a low pony with a hair tie i keep in my glove compartment and race off to school. i rush in and give the secretary a quick wave as she laughs at my craziness.

i walk into my room with 10 minutes to spare so i quickly put on perfume i keep in the back along with deodorant, a brush, and mouthwash. i'm always prepared in case something like this happens. with a few minutes to spare I set up the activities we will be doing today, mostly games and coloring sheet but it's the last day of school and these kids deserve a break, they work so hard to keep up with everyone in their other classes.

my day goes normally ( a few bumps but those are normal) until the last hour of the day when one of my dyslexic students, Stacy walks in crying. i tell one of the aids to keep everyone on track and i take her to the sound proof office next to my room.

i take students in here when they need to let out their emotions when they are stressed. this way they don't have to have a lot of built up emotions when they go home. and they can do it without any other students knowing because they get looked at differently enough. it took a lot of convincing to get the school board to comply but eventually i got it.

" hun what's wrong? do you want to talk or let it out?" i question.

" i-i just" she hiccups as we make our way over to the couch in the corner and i rub her back comfortingly.

" i'm just sick of everyone being better then me in everything. and now i have to be with my stupid smart sister all summer!" she exclaims wiping her eyes.

i help her through her panic attack and reassure her about everything and we start to head back to class.

" at the end of class i'm gonna give you my email so you can email me during the summer if things get too overwhelming. do you want me to do that?" i ask softly rubbing her back.

" yes please, your school one?" she replies wiping her eyes.

" no i'll give you my other one, i don't go on my school email as much as i should during the summer" i say causing her to laugh and it makes me smile. that's why i do i just love seeing the kids feel better and overcome their disabilities.

i hand her my email and say goodbye to everyone for the last time as the bell rings. i'm sitting at my desk sorting though some things when one of my close friends Dana strolls in.

" hey! you came in really late today are you ok?" she asks.

" yeah i just slept in, that's all." i shrug.

" oh, ok! Anyways, me and some of the girls are going out for lunch to celebrate the end of the school year wanna come?" she says now playing with on the the many stress balls by the door.

" yeah let me grab my purse!" i say standing up and i grab my purse with my turned off phone inside it.

" is Coopers ok? we aren't drinking obviously but i just really like their burgers" she says and i laugh.

"of course! plus, that bartender was totally checking you out last time!" i say as we approach the three other teachers.

on the far right is a short Asian woman who teaches science, next to her is an African American short woman who teaches math and a tall red haired typing teacher is next to them. i don't really talk to these teachers much out of work so this should be fun. i like staying in my own small group of Lizzie, Dana and Elise and Jared plus his mates who in reality seem worse then they are.
