Who I am
Ok just stop there it says. She grabs the notebook out of my hand and starts scribbling again. You’re the guy who is supposed to help me out right? She keeps on writing while making sure I’m reading what she is writing. Well then, if you haven’t noticed, I don’t want to be here, I won’t ever want to be here, and I am not going to participate. So you can just do whatever you want to do, just don’t include me in any of it. Because I am telling you now I am going to be doing nothing here. So don’t waste your breath.
Wow that’s great. I turn away from her. What should I do? Maybe I should involve Mr. Brady in this. Yup that is what I am going to do. I turn back to her and grab the notebook out of her hands.
Ok listen here I write. If she wasn’t going to speak neither am I. I don’t know who you think you are but we are going to be doing this together. I am not going to sit back and watch you do nothing except sit there staring into space feeling sorry for yourself. So get with the program cause if you don’t I am going to get the teacher involved and he will get the principal involved. This in turn will get your mother involved. I understand that you have had a hard life but I will not allow you slack off in our partnership. I might not understand everything that goes on in her life but I know that anyone can succeed if they try to, and she is definitely not trying. I hope that my threat of telling the teacher will get her to participate at least some. She is giving me a mean look. I can see the pure hatred in her eyes. She takes the notebook and is just about to write something else when Mr. Brady comes up to our table.
"Well I hope that you two can get along well. I want no shenanigans going on here. This is chemistry not a playground. Lucy, Seth here is an excellent student and he can help you with whatever you need. Right Mr. Marshal?"
