THE LETTER

Ten-year-old Lee Harbor was sitting at his desk at his school, Humdingmayer. It was his first day. He was so buried in his thoughts; he didn’t notice his teacher was hovering right over him. Lee didn’t even note that the whole class was staring at him until his teacher pounded her ugly fist on his desk three times!

Just because you are a new student doesn’t mean you are a privileged child, said his teacher, Mrs. Barbarich, now, will you tell me what the answer to 15% of $36 is in five seconds? She said, knowing that he wouldn’t know the answer to that in five seconds. Without hesitation, Lee correctly answered the question.

By how Mrs. Barbarich was smiling, Lee could tell that this was just the beginning. He felt so mad that he stormed out of the room and stomped to the principal’s office. Hutton’s dad was the principal and, from what he saw on his desk, his last name was Riley. Lee had had enough! The principal had a massive grin on his face. Mrs. Barbarich had already told him what had happened. Go on; I already know that you think I’m a cheater. Especially because you are Hutton’s dad, you are probably even worse than Hutton himself. I don’t care what you do to me. You don’t even have proof that I cheated.
