Just bearly

Sam ran into the building and made straight for his first class, History.

It was time to prep for the final exams. Graduation was only a few weeks away after all.

Sam made it into the room just as the teacher, Mrs. Wilton was about to start the class.

"You're cutting it real close, Miss Rivers." He said as Sam sat down next to Charlie who mouthed "sorry"

"I'm really sorry, Ma'am, my ride had to cancel and I had to take the bus and it got stuck in traffic and I..."

"OK, OK, just... Let's get this over with" Mrs. Wilton said "Who here can tell me about the Great Relocation?"

Charlie's hand shot into the air next to Sam.

"The relocation of the Royal court from Brittan to America after the fall of London in 1758."

"Very good" The older man said before looking at Sam.

"Miss Rivers, sit up straight in my class. I will not watch a young lady with poor posture."

"Yes Ma'am." Sam said, sitting up.

"sorry, again" Charlie said, realizing Sam only got yelled at because of him.
