Who Is She?
It was Ms. Anderson, Mike’s math teacher. “Shouldn’t you be in school right now?” she asked, her gaze sweeping Mike from head to toe. She noted the dirty work jumpsuit he had on with a quirk of her brow.
Mike and Ms. Anderson spent the next thirty minutes at the parking lot talking. Mike opened up about what was happening at home and how he was doing everything to help. He revealed that his grandma’s pension checks had been the only thing keeping them afloat. But now she had been diagnosed with stage three cancer, and all that money was needed.
