Knock Knock

Sasha gulped as she knocked on the door. She could see the teacher make eye contact with her as the class turned to see Sasha standing on the other side of the door. Then the teacher yelled something and the class all turned back to the front completely ignoring Sasha as she stood there.

Sasha’s ears turned red as she waited for the teacher. Finally the teacher put down the textbook she was holding and walked towards the door. She grabbed the handle and finally opened it. “Ms Hayes,” Mrs Cobble said. “You’re late.”

“I-I’m sorry,” Sasha said. “I… I slept late…”

“No excuses,” Mrs Cobble said. “Get inside now. There’s a seat in front for you.”

Sasha nodded as she scrambled inside. Sasha saw the only empty desk was in the front row in the middle. Sasha made her way and sat down. Sasha could hear some snickering and whispering. Sasha didn’t dare to look at anyone as Mrs Cobble made her way to the front.

“Alright class, aside from that rude interruption, please pull out your workbooks. We will be going over your homework,” Mrs Cobble said.

Everyone reached for their books, but Sasha didn’t move. There was no point since she had nothing with her.

“Ms Hayes,” Mrs Cobble said. “Where is your homework? Frankly, where are your school supplies?”

Sasha gulped. “I…I left them in my dorm…”

Mrs Cobble narrowed her eyes. “Let me get this straight. Not only did you arrive late to class but you also showed up completely unprepared?”

Sasha whimpered but nodded. “Y-yes… Miss…”

Sasha fidgeted in her seat wondering what would happen. “Ms Hayes, you know the student handbook front to back,” Mrs Cobble said. “Yet you’ve already committed two infractions. You’ve left me **** but to enforce the policy.”

Sasha looked down in shame. The class was really whispering now.
