“Miss Stewart?” Amber’s head turned on a swivel as her name was called. She saw principle Shepard looking at her through his glasses, beckoning her over with a finger. With a sigh, she turned and walked towards him. “I believe class started and hour ago?”

She nodded, “Yes I’m sorry, I slept in and had to walk to school.” She showed him the late note she got from the office. He took it and looked it over handing it to her, “can I go?”

Shepard looked at her, his brow wrinkled with worry. "You know the rules, I’m busy today, so we can make up for your absence when I’m back at the end of the week.” Amber gave him a quick nod and headed towards her class, she was hoping he would be lenient on her. “Bye Amber .” Amber paused, looking back, the old man gave her a warm, creepy smile. Amber waved slightly, she was used to the way men looked at her now especially older men. They always tried to be friendly, but it felt like they were leering at her, and they were.
