Wednesday came and went and then Thursday came but to Jack felt like it would never leave.at some point in his day Jack looked so anxious that one of the bullies snidely said to him in the bathroom”why are you so excited?are you getting green eye contacts?!” And then he walked out chuckling to himself.but jack was so anxious and excited that he only nodded his head while saying mhm and continued washing his hands all the while deep in daydream land.later that day during math class Jack was daydreaming about the different restaurants and food that he’ll try when suddenly he heard shouting as he snapped back into reality he could see his strict math teachers mrs.shirley face directly in front of his she was so close that he could feel her breath on his neck,uchew he let a strange mixture of ew and uch escape him she kept glaring at him.then quite coincidentally they both started talking at the same time ummm,sorry i didn't hear that can you please say that again,i'll try to listen closer said jack squeaked just as mrs.shirley practically shouted:”excuse me, i said what page are we on?!.they both went silent everyone in the room which was an estimated amount of 28 was staring at him either with a snicker or a look of pity on their face jack felt like he could melt into the floor both his and mrs.shirley's face were both beet red but for different reasons just as mrs.shirley opened her mouth something very unexpected occurred.the bully who had earlier threw a “small” insult at jack in the bathroom couldn't hold in his laugh anymore and burst into almost silent but quite visible laughter and winky a super popular girl who jack always wanted to be friends with whispered “shut up” to him and unnoticeably from the teacher point of view pinched him but then as if that wasn't enough for jack she sat up straighter in her chair and in a loud and pretty brave voice said to the teacher looking her directly in the eye: “when mathew or another bulky guy who’s father’s have connections falls asleep for the third time that day in class all you do is slap them to wake them up and then give them a warning but when jack just spaced out for just for a few minutes you embarrass him in front of the whole class and…” but winky never got a chance to finish her sentence cause mrs.shirley looked like a deathly angry wild bear OUT she shrieked steam practically gushing out of her red ears and flared nostrils,OUT,OUT,OUT,I WILL NOT TOLERATE SUCH INSOLENT BEHAVIOR IN MY CLASSROOM!!!she scribbled on two pieces of paper and then thrust them into winky and jack's unoutstretched hands.and you she said softening her voice just a bit as she turned to the bully who had laughed at the situation earlier she quickly wrote down something on a paper and quite gently compared to the way she’d given it to jack and winky she gave him it to him.Then she gave him slightly more than a little push towards the door and then instructed in a you ain't gonna mess with me tone of voice:”now all three of you will walk together to mr.smith's office and hand your papers to him and don't you dare take the tiniest of a peek at these papers unless of course mr.smith offers it to you,now off you go we've got lots to learn today in class and as an undertone she added”what a pity you’ll miss out on all the amazing stuff that we’ll be learning today,and who knows there might just be a pop quiz tomorrow”.and with that she slyly winked at them while simultaneously pointing her finger towards the door.jack took the lead and was first to step into the corridor,he hadn't said a single thing since he had talked simultaneously with mrs.shirley”ummm that was really nice of you winky”he said shyly blushing he by mistake let slip the tiniest of a smile trying to break the ice between them.winky shared the barely noticeable smile with him just in magnified version:”no problem,anytime”she chirped.oh and i forgot to ask what's your last name?winky inquired.um its northcott,yeah im jack northcott he said feeling his cheeks growing hot.cute,i'm winky allerton,it's a pleasure to finally know somebody’s last name,winky said while winking at him.jack only blushed harder when he attempted to resist blushing,suddenly they both heard the bullies gruff voice saying”were here chit chatters”they both looked up just in time and avoided dumbly walking into the principal's office door only by mere inches,well actually not exactly cause the tip of jacks nose did in fact touch the door.they both instantly took a few steps back from the door just to keep their distance.winky lifted her chin squared her shoulders and quite boldly stepped forward towards mrs.smith's door and knocked on it,suddenly they all heard a very lady like voice clear its throat behind them they all jumped up startled and then turned around to face the...secretary.excuse me,but may i ask why you two first just walked right past me and then you just walked right up to mr.smith's door and knocked on it as if...but the secretary never got to finish her sentence cause mr.smith himself had just walked out of his office and was standing directly in front of them!Were you three the ones who just knocked on my door?he asked in a kind but worn voice.mrs.smith was a pretty old man who had grayish whitish brownish hair and wrinkles he was skinny but also very tall.”well actually she knocked on the door he stood next to her and that good one over there right away went and sat properly on the correctly intended benches.the petite little secretary rushed to explain in her ladylike voice.but mr.smith raised his hand to quiet her:”thank you Peluma but i think i understand perfectly well what has just happened here,three most probably innocent 5th graders came to my office on the second to last week of school sent here by mrs.shirley.how very peculiar for just about an hour ago two 7th graders were sent here by mrs.shirley for smiling at each other when mrs.shirley said something during a very serious subject that they and i both find funny!well anyway enough chit chat now lets go inside to my office”he said with a kind twinkle in his eyes.winky and jack exchanged glances,this was not what they had expected,Winky shrugged her shoulders and mouthed whatever.finally after what felt like forever they reached mrs.smith's office door,well here we are,come on in! Mr.smith said while kindly smiling and gesturing towards the door.what are you waiting for?you know i don't bite! he said playfully.winky was first to go in.She took one step into the room and then gasped:”Mr.smith are we interrupting some type of important meeting?jack heard her asking from outside.jack was next to step in and now it was his turn to gasp sitting across Mr.Smith's desk was...outside.jack was next to step in and now it was his turn to gasp sitting across Mr.Smith's desk was...
