Monday morning, Dad came into my room to wake me up. "Leanne you need to get up, if you are quick we might go out for breakfast?"
"Coming Dad, I've been up sense you woke me at 6 o'clock. Do you have my tablets and letter for school?" I asked as I climbed out of bed.
"Yes to both questions. As your school requires the tablets that are going to school is sealed in their box." Dad answered as he closed my bedroom door behind him.
When I joined Dad downstairs with my school bag. "Are you going into work today?"
"Yes I'm going to work. Therefore, if you need to get hold of me you know where to find me. Here you can buy your lunch today. Get in the front and be quick about it." Dad was saying as we walked out the door.
As we drove out of the driveway and headed for Dallas Dad turned on the radio both for work and to listen to the Country music. "Dad?" I asked as I started to fiddle with my seatbelt.
"Yes Darling what's wrong?" Dad asked while looking at me out of the corner of his eye.
"Will you walk me to my new class room?" I answered while still fiddling my with belt.
"If you want me to walk you to your new classroom of course I will. Are you nervous?" Dad answered. "Stop fiddling with your seatbelt."
"Yes, but I don't know why. I know once I get into class I'll be fine." I answered as I put my hands in my lap.
….
As we drove up to LKH Elementary School Dad found a parking spot. As we walked into the office area, I heard Mrs Smith the front office secretary call out. "Ranger Walker, Leanne it's good to see you both. Mr Smith wanted to talk to you when you came in?"
"Thank you Mrs Smith, Leanne couldn't wait to get back to school." Dad answered as we walked towards the Principal's office.
"Ranger Walker, Leanne please come into my office." as we walked into Mr Smith office and took a seat on the opposite side. "Are you feeling better Leanne?"
"Yes I'm feeling better; I'm still on medication that Dad brought in with me along with a letter from
My Doctor." I answered while I started to fidget again.
As Dad handed over the medication and letter, Mr Smith read the letter. "Ranger Walker when is Leanne due her next tablet?"
"She due at 12pm. I want her kept at that time as it makes it easier to remember when she needs to take them." Dad answered awhile grabbing hold of hand to stop me from fidgeting.
"That's ok. I will take you down to meet Mrs Thompson. Leanne it will be up to you to tell Mrs Thompson that you needs to come up to the front office." As we walked towards the class room I was looking around. I was now in the senior section of the school. We had stopped at the classroom door and Mr Smith was knocking on the door. "Good morning Mrs Thompson this is Leanne Walker, she's joining your class as of today."
"Welcome Leanne, Mr Smith had informed me that you would be joining my class once you were cleared to come back to school. You must be Ranger Walker. Is there any instructions for Leanne to follow?" Mrs Thompson was saying after the introductions were made.
"Nice to meet you, Leanne has tablets she needs to take and she isn't allowed to play any sports. Leanne knows what she can and can't do. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at the office." Dad explained.
"OK, Leanne let's go and meet your class mates." Mrs Thompson said as she opened the classroom door.
"I'll see you after school; someone will be here to pick you up at 3pm." At that Dad turned around headed to work.
"Bye Dad." At that, I walked into the classroom.
"Leanne you need to be on time from now on, if you aren't on time you will get detention. Class I would like you to meet Leanne Walker, she is joining our class from today. Why don't you introduce yourself to the class?" Mrs Thompson explained as she stood in front of the class.
"Hello, my name is Leanne Walker, I'm happy to be back at school after spending the last couple weeks at home or in the Hospital. Most people here know who I am. For those who don't I look forward to getting to know you?" I said as I looked around to see how many people I knew.
"Thank you Leanne, please take your seat next to, Miss Alex Ramsey and Miss Anne-Marie Simpson. Then you will find your books in your desk please pull out your Maths book and turn to page 10." Mrs Thompson instructed me when I had finished.
….
As the morning went by at 11.55am, I went up to Mrs Thompson. "Excuse me Mrs Thompson; I need to go up to the front office to take my 12pm tablet."
"Have you finished your English work yet?" Mrs Thompson asked without looking up from her desk.
"No I haven't." I answered.
"Go and finish it." Mrs Thompson replied still without looking up from her desk.
15 minutes later I said as I got up from my desk. "Mrs Thompson, I need to go and take my tablet I was meant to take it by know."
"Leanne, have you finished your English work? If not sit down and do it, before I put you on detention not listening to me." Mrs Thompson replied this time looking up from her paper work.
….
"Excuse me; Richard has Leanne Walker come in for her midday tablet yet?" Asked Mrs Smith as she opens the door.
"Not that I have seen." Answered Mr Smith.
"I might call her to come up and take her tablet. Excuse me Mrs Thompson, can Leanne Walker please come to the front office." Mrs Smith said over the school intercom.
….
"No Leanne you can go when I tell you that you can go. Have you done your English work yet?" Mrs Thompson said as I got up to leave.
"I'm going to the front office; you will not stop me from taking my Medication that I need to take every 6 hours." I replied as I got up from my desk.
"You will sit down know Leanne. You will do what I say you to do." Mrs Thompson said while standing in front of me.
Crying I walked towards the door. "I'm going to the front office as requested from Mrs Smith."
Grabbing my left arm Mrs Thompson turned me around. "Leanne you will sit down right now. On top of that you will be having after school detention this afternoon."
As I steep out the door, Mrs Thompson had let go of my arm and followed me out into the hallway. "You are not allowed to grab hold of me; you cannot give me after school detention unless I'm giving 24 hours' notice. I am leaving this class room and complaining to Mr Smith about the way you just treated me." I said while looking her right in the eyes.
Slapping me across the face Mrs Thompson yelling out. "You will not swear at me Leanne; you have no right to speak to me like that. I know my rights as a teacher and you just stepped over that."
Shocked I ran up to the front office crying. "Leanne what's wrong?" Mrs Smith was asking when I ran into the front office area.
"I want my Dad; Mrs Thompson just slapped me across the face for no reason." I was saying as I sat down shaking in the corner.
….
"Ranger Walker." Replied Dad answered the phone.
"Hello Ranger Walker, it's Wendy Smith, you need to come up to LKH Elementary School right away." Mrs Smith said.
"Is everything alright with Leanne?" Dad asked.
"Yes and No. You will understand when you get here." Mrs Smith answered while looking at me.
"I'm on my way, give me 20 minutes." Dad answered as he got up from his desk. "Trivette I need to go to Lenore Kirk Hall Elementary School. I'll be back as soon as I can."
…
"Leanne your Dad is on his way, please tell me what happened?" Mrs Smith explained as she came and knelt in front of me.
"Mrs Thompson slapped me across the face because I yelled at her for grabbing my arm. I'm not saying any more until Dad gets here." As we waited, I just curled up in the corner crying. I've only been hit once before when I was kidnapped, and they were the bad people.
Awhile later I heard. "Leanne where are you?" I had heard Dad call out from the front of the office.
Jumping up and running into Dad's arms. "Dad, Mrs Thompson slapped me across my face. All I did was yell at her for grabbing my arm."
"Your teacher did what!" Yelled Dad.
"Ranger Walker please comes into my office." Answered Mr Smith when he heard Dad come into the office.
"What is this about Mrs Thompson hitting my Daughter across the face?" Dad asked.
"I've just sent Mrs Smith go and bring Mrs Thompson up to the office. We'll find out the truth then." Mr Smith explained as he sat down in his chair.
….
"Excuse me Mrs Thompson, you required to come to the front office. I'll be staying while you are up talking to Mr Smith." Mrs Smith said after walking into the classroom.
"What lies has Leanne Walker been telling you?" Mrs Thompson replied while standing up from the desk.
"You will find out when you speak to Mr Smith." Mrs Smith said as Mrs Smith walked out the room.
…
"Mrs Thompson please come in and take a seat. Can you please tell me what had happened?" Mr Smith asked.
"Well, Leanne started telling me she want to go to the front office; however she needed to do her English work. When Mrs Smith called her to the front office, when I wouldn't let her leave she walked out, I grab hold of her arm. Leanne then started swearing at me. I then slapped her across her face." Mrs Thompson explained while looking at me and Dad.
"WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO LAY A HAND ON MY DAUGHTER?" Yelled Dad.
"Please Ranger Walker, try to keep calm." Mr Smith asked as he stood up.
"WHO GAVE LEANNE PERMISSION TO SWAER AT ME? I HAVE RIGHTS AND LEANNE BROKE THOSE RIGHTS." Replied Mrs Thompson as she took a step back.
Crying while I was sitting on Dad's lap with my head on his shoulder. "I never swore at you. I was brought up that swearing was wrong unless I stubbed my toe. I was yelling at you because you had grabbed my arm when I tried to walk out the door."
"It's your word against mine Leanne, what are you going to do about it?" Mrs Thompson continued with a smug look on his face.
"If the school doesn't do something about what had happened today, my Lawyer will. I'll be start by pulling Leanne from this school. As I haven't paid the school fees, yet I won't be asking for them back." At that Dad and I walked down to my classroom and got my school bag and left.
…...
As Dad pulled up to the Courthouse. "Leanne, I was thinking of sending you to private school next year; however I'll look into the school I was think of sending you and contact them to see if I can get you in Monday instead." Was saying as we headed towards the lift.
"So until then I'll be off school again. What are you going to do with me? Uncle Ray went back to the Reservation Saturday." I asked as we got into the lift.
"We'll work it out. Until then sorry to say, you'll have to stay here until I'm finish with work. Go and sit at the desk and be quiet." Dad was saying as we walked into the offices.
"Dad, I still haven't had my tablets yet." I said as I walked over to Dad's desk.
"Hay Walker, why is Leanne here instead of school?" Trivette asked when we walked in.
"I've just removed her from that School for good. Her Teacher slapped her across the face for no reason." Dad replied as he sat down at his desk. "I'll get you tablet in a moment.
"She did what! Are you going to send her off to Holy Family now instead?" Continued Trivette while following Dad to the cooler.
"I'm about to ring them and ask if they will take her straight away." Dad answered as he walked back to his desk with a glass of water and my tablets.
…..
On Monday morning as Dad woke me up for my first day at Holy Family. "Leanne you need to get up and ready for school. Don't forget to put your hair into a plait or something."
"Yes Dad. Dad what happens if I don't like this school and my new Teacher?" I answered when I came out dressed in the summer uniform and my hair in a ponytail.
"You had met your new Teacher last Friday when we went back to the school after they showed us around on Tuesday. They know about your past, and they understand what has happened with your last Teacher." Dad explained as I walked into the kitchen.
When we got into the truck and started towards Dallas. "But what if she doesn't like me?" I asked.
Sighing as Dad turned on the radios. "You can always call me at work. If you think that way, you will not like her either. Not all of the teachers you will get you will like. And then there will be teachers that you love." Dad explained.
As we continued into Dallas, I was looking out the window. We were heading in closer to the CBD to what I was used to. "Dad, but what if she doesn't like me."
"Then I'll talk to your teacher and try to fix it. Leanne stop worrying about it. You can always call me at work." At that, we pulled into the parking lot. "Here we go. Don't forget that you need to take you tablet at Midday."
…..
That afternoon as I was waiting for Dad to come and pick me Mrs Addams and Michael walked out. "Leanne are you still waiting for your Dad?"
"Yes I am. Sometimes he is running late to picking me up." I answered as I looking out for his truck.
"I have to go up town and I have to pass the court house I can drop you off if you like?" Offered Mrs Addams as she waited me to reply.
"Let me go into the School and give Dad a ring. He might be on his way." At that, I walked into the front office. "Excuse me may I ring my Dad please? He is running late."
"Of course you can ring your Dad." Answered the secretary.
Ring Ring… "Ranger James Trivette."
"Uncle Jimmy, is Dad their?" I asked when Uncle Jimmy answered Dad's extension.
Looking across the room. "Walker Leanne's on line 2."
"Leanne what's wrong I'm about to leave and pick you up?" Dad answered after picking up the phone.
"I finished 30 minutes ago. Mrs Addams has offered to drop me off." I explained while looking at the clock.
"Sorry about that, Yes Mrs Addams may drop you off. I'll wait for you in the office." Dad continued as Alex walked into the office.
After hanging up the phone, I ran outside to find Mrs Addams waiting for me beside her car. "Dad said that you may take me down to the court house."
…..
"Thank you Mrs Addams you pull up behind the silver truck." I instructed Mrs Addams as we pulled up to the court house.
"Is your Dad going to be here for you?" Asked a concern Mrs Addams as she pulled up behind Dad's truck.
"Yes he is still here because you have parked behind his truck. Thank you again and I'll see you in class tomorrow. Bye Michael." I called out as I climbed out of the back seat.
"Good Bye Leanne and we'll see you tomorrow."
As I walked up the stairs and reached the doors, I turned around and wave at them. I was thinking I'm glad that Mrs Addams seem to like me I was nervous about going into her class and she made me me welcome as soon as I walked in.
"Hay Leanne, did you enjoy your first day at Holy Family?" asked Trivette.
"Yes I did, I've made a few new friends including my Teachers son Michael. Where's Dad got to?" I asked when I sat down at his desk.
"He went up to talk to Alex. He did say if you have homework you can start it." Trivette answered from the coffee machine.
Sighing as I sat down and pulled out my Math work. "Will he be long; my head is starting to hurt me again?"
"No he shouldn't be long, would you like a glass of water?" Answered Trivette.
"Yes please." While I was waiting for Dad to come back I started on my homework. After a while, I heard the door open looking up. "Hi Dad, having a good day?"
"Yes I am. Sorry about this afternoon. Why don't you pack up I'm ready to leave when you are." Dad answered as I went back to his desk to pack up my bag.
