Mr. Sturidge smiled, but it didn’t reach the rest of his face. something in his eyes should have alerted me – the fact that they glistened just slightly; the sadness that nearly cracked his voice. but I was young and unobservant. I sighed and quickly gathered my things, my cheeks flushed, before shuffling out of the class and down the long hall of my private middle school. my dark brown doc martens squeaked on the wood floors as I stewed my way to the front hall. normally Mr. Sturidge was fairly cool, he was young and much too good looking – all of the girls mums flirted with him… so why would he give me that look? it’s not like I’ve been misbehaving today. I haven’t been reprimanded once for talking! I sighed and gave up, knowing full well that arguing would get me no where except detention. I pushed the glass door, to the posh front office, open and was greeted with a sad looking Mrs. Jones. her smile was also tight, her nose a little red, her eyes a little puffy. I wondered if she had a cold. maybe there was something going around school, a cold or early fall flu bug.
