Acacia was an A student. At
least she was until she finished the 10th grade. She blamed her
teacher, Miss Harris for a long time. Looking back, it was the day of the final
exam in Miss Harris’ class that changed everything. Class was two hours long.
At the sound the bell, Miss Harris handed out the final. There were 3 essay
questions and 50 multiple choice questions covering the last 6 novels read by
the class.
Acacia finished her exam in
record time, about 45 minutes. She rushed to the front of the class with her
test and handed it to Miss Harris. Miss Harris whispered, “Don’t you want to go
over your essays and answers? You have plenty of time, Acacia.”
Acacia responded, “No, it’s
good enough for an A. I’d rather just go.”
Concerned, Miss Harris said,
“Acacia, you know the rules during finals. No students are permitted to leave
the classroom until the bell. Did you make special arrangements?”
“No.”
“Then you need to take a
seat and read or prepare for your next final.”
“I have to go to work! So I
need to go now!” Acacia was getting heated.
“Acacia, if you leave, I
have to give you an F on your exam and report you to the principal’s office.”
“Fuck you Bitch!”
