Shimmer

"Alright students i would like you all to take out---"

Brrrg.
Mrs.Howard was cut short by the ominous school bell.Something all the
the teachers hate,and something every student love.Sighing Mrs.Howard closed
her eyes and thought,"how are these children suppose to learn fully if thier always
cutt short"It was almost every day Mrs.Howard would think the same thing.As if
though it were a routine,an awful routine.Clearing her thoart Mrs.Howard focused
her attention back on the class.
"Alright students don't forget the 100 to 150 essay i assigned you!"She shouted to
half the class that was already out the door.Not even sure if they heard her or not.
Shaking her blonde head,Mrs.Howard fell back in her teaching chair.Maybe she
needed to talk to the principal about this bell thing shorting classes.To try and get
the classes to be in longer.
"Mrs.Howard"said a sweet voice.Startled Mrs.Howard looked up from her table to
see one of her students towering over her.Mrs.Howard smiled,hoping that her
student (Katie) had come back to discuss about homework."Well hello Katie,what
brings you hare"Mrs.Howard said smoothingly.Katie tighten her books to chest
a little bit and cleared her throat.Mrs.Howard watched as she closed her eyes then re
opened them."Um...Mrs.Howard....I know this would be hard to say....but i would like
to quit this class"Katie said.Mrs.Howard bit her lip to keep her jaw from droping open.
Her goodest student---out of the whole class----wanted to quit her class.But why? Its
not to say that I'm a bad teacher,Mrs.Howard thought.Reluctantly Mrs.Howard stood up
out of her chiar,and looked at Katie with knitted brows.
"Why do you wanna quit my class Katie?"She asked,Katie let out an undearing sigh.
"Because Mrs.Howard,i'm not good with literture.Its complicated for me to learn and hard
to understand.So i decided to quit.Oh,and i have some thing i would like to return"Katie said,
Mrs.Howard looked at her confuseingly.Wondering what could sweet Katie possibly wanted
to return?But when Katie pulled out a sheet of paper out of her black purse,Mrs.Howard wanted to cry.
It was the sheet of paper to remind them of thier homework.
"B-but---"Mrs.Howard stuttered as Katie handed her the h/w sheet.
"I know this is hard for you Mrs.Howard"Katie put a hand on her left shoulder,"but i can't keep
forcing myself to do something that only my teacher find pleasure of."Mrs.Howard looked
away from Katie's face at the sheet of paper she held in her hand.Her favorite student was
quiting 'cuz she did'nt find pleasure of it.I think i feel a mood swing,Mrs.Howard thought...
She looked back up at Katie and bit her tounge to stop her self from yelling at the poor child.
"OK,Katie,if you insist.I'm not gonna stop you"Mrs.Howard said,Katie smiled and removed
her hand.
"I'm glad you see it my way Mrs.Howard"Katie said,and she turned to leave.Once Katie was
out of sight Mrs.Howard wailed,balled up the paper,and threw it away.Why would someone
as great as her want to quit literture.Something they told her they loved.Unless they lied.
"They lied"Mrs.Howard muttered,surprised that Katie,her favorite student would actually
LIE.
