"Ok, class. Time to hand out your tests." Ms. Walum started to pass out
the tests as the class quieted down.
AJ Saenz raised his hand. "Umm, Dev.I mean, Ms.Walum?" The class snickered. "Are you sure you can not give us a one day extension on this test? You only assigned it yesterday!!"
"That is too bad if you did not prepare for it. Maybe if you had not wasted those hours by playing football." she replied.
"But the big game is on Friday! We needed the practice!" AJ looked distressed.
"That is no excuse. Now, shut your mouth, young man, or you will find yourself in the office. I will not have rudeness in my class." Ms. Walum continued passing out the tests.
She was a woman of about 60, with gray hair that she always kept pulled back in a severe bun. Ms. Walum was stick thin and wore no jewelry, except her wedding ring. Now, though, she was wearing something different instead of a wedding ring. It was an strange looking stone, blue in color yet green towards the center and set in a silver band.
Clark motioned to the ring and said, "That's an unusual ring, Ms. Walum. Where did you get it?"
She glanced lovingly down at the ring and replied, "Oh, I got it at the new antique shop called Above and Beyond. Isn't it lovely?"
Clark wouldn't have called it lovely. It was almost ugly, but he didn't want to hurt her feelings. "It's very.unique."
"Don't try to get out of this test, Mr. Kent. Be quiet and finish."
Clark was mesmerized by it. But he was starting to get a headache. He shook his head to clear it, and completed his test.
