The new teacher entered the teacher's lounge with her cup of coffe. Jane Dunbar had moved all the way from Oregan for this new job. She nervously sat down at the table amongest the other teachers. A red head turned to Jane and smiled.
"Hi. I'm Victoria Danes. I teach first grade."
"Jane Dunbar, second grade."
"Oh, that's nice. You probably have inherited some of my demons. Can I see your scan tron? I'll give you a little heads up on the trouble makers."
"Oh, thanks." Jane handed her the scantron.
"Let's see. David Betterman likes to fake cry. Just threaten to call his mother and he'll shut up. Clarissa Ferris talks too loudly, so you have to keep reminding her to be quiet. Well, you have alot of good students. Anthony's sweet, Delilah's a darling, and............" Victoria's mouth hung open. She then looked at Jane and shook her head. "I'm so sorry."
Jane was very startled. "Why?"
"You have her."
"Who?"
"That Notttingham girl."
"Who is she?"
"You've never heard of Bethany Nottingham? You must be from out of state not to know about her."
"Oregan. What has she done?"
"She is the cutest pyschomaniac ever to exist."
"What?"
"Imagine a psycho killer in tights."
"No child is that bad."
"This one is. Her parents are just as screwed up. Her mom is this homicide cop that almost got kicked off P.T.A for intimidation. Her father is this gothic guy who you do not want to mess with. He went in for a parent teacher meeting and scared the hell out of her kindergarten teacher. she had to tak sick leave for the position he put her in. I'm telling you, the girl's a freak."
Jane looked at the woman and decided that it was probably just some new teacher joke. She smiled and laughed. "You thought I'd fall for it. The Nottingham girl is probably the sweetest around and you are pulling my leg. I wouldn't be surprised if her mom is teh home maker mother people dream about and her dad coaches sports." Victoria stared at the new teacher.
"I am not kidding. If you don't believe me, see for yourself. the bells gonna ring in ten. Hope she doesn't kill you first day." Victoria got up and went to her class.
Jane stared at her for a moment and then went to class.
-8:00-
Twenty- five students were quietly seated in there desk. Jane looked over them and smiled.
"Hi class! My name is Ms. Dunbar. Welcome to the new school year! I hope you are all ready to learn."
Twenty-five heads nodded. "I'm going to call role. Just say here or present and lets get started."
"Martin Addams?"
"Here."
"Dustin Blues?"
"Present." She went on down he list till she got to a certain little girl's name.
"Bethany Nottingham?"
"Here." Came the reply. Jane looked down upon an adorable little girl. Bethany had bright green eyes and curly black hair pulled back into a braid. She had the cutest smile and wore a black tank top with black capri's. 'Nothing is wrong with this one.' Jane thought.
As she went on through the day, explaining the upcoming school year, she couldn't help but pay extra attention to Bethany. She was on the quiet side and paid attention well. She also seemed very bright, bringing in an adult book to read for S.S.R.
As school went out that day, she watched her students go home. She watched Bethany run out the gate and to a man dressed in black. She jumped right up into his arms. The man smiled and they entered a car and then drove off. 'Gothic guy who puts teachers in tears my foot.' Jane smiled.
Day after day, she found that she liked Bethany. She was terribly bright and was sweet to boot. the other teachers just shook their heads and said "Wait and see." She ignored him.
Then show and tell happened.
Most of the kid's brough dolls, action figures, sea shells, things like that. When Bethany stood at the front of the class, she had nothing in her hands.
"Bethany, where is your item?"
"Here." she put one hands over her shoulder. Shing! There she was, little eight year old Bethany, holding a sword.
"This is a katana, like the woman from Mortal Kombat. My daddy got it for me when we visited Japan last summer. It is really old and use to belong to this really good woman warrior. It even has blood marks on it! See." She held it up for the kid's to see the dried blood around the edges and then continued. "It has poison in it and if it cuts you, you get the poison."
One of the younger boys screamed out "Liar" and "Prove it." Bethany shrugged her shoulders and said "Okay." She charged at a girl in the front row.
"STOP!!!!" Screamed Jane and grabbed Bethany's arm. "Bethany! We do not mutilate other people. Didn't your mother teach you that?" Bethany thought for a second.
"My mommy once cut off my grandfather's hand, but he's better now. We don't talk to him much cause he's evil."
Jane stared blankly at the child and shook her head. "Bethany, stay after school. I would like to talk to your father."
"Okay." She sheathed her sword and sat back down at her seat. "And Bethany? Put the sword away."
-Later-
Bethany sat at her desk. Jane had had a lunch full of "I told you so" and "The kid's a freak."
Bethany's father soon entered. Jane stood by Bethany and began. "Mr. Nottingham?"
"Yes?"
"Um, I need to talk to you about this." She handed him the sword in it's case. Ian breathed out and looked at Bethany. "Bethany, what have I told you about your weapons?"
"Do not take them out of the house." She grumbled.
"Do I have to take away your sais again?"
"No! Uncle Danny is teaching me death strikes this week!"
"Then no more of this."
"Yes, daddy." Ian turned back to the teacher. Jane now knew this man had the capacity to make her cry. Hie eyes were intense.
"Mr. Nottingham, we need to discuss certain problems....."
"Ms. Dunbar, my daughter has no problems. She simply misunderstood the situation." He moved closer to her. "You wouldn't really bring in the council, would you? It's just an honest mistake."
Jane was very suddenly scared for her safety. She simply nodded in agreement and watched the two walk out like nothing happened. Jane sat back in her chair.
"It's going to be a long year."
Eli: More to come. I promise.
