"Why, thank you. I feel honored now, Paula." She let her voice linger on the word Paula, and smiled back.

"So, why are you here?" My mom said, trying not to sound too mean.

"Spencer left her wallet in my carrrasroom." She almost answered car, but quickly changed it to classroom.

"Excuse me?" I think my mom caught the car part.

"She left her wallet in my classroom." Ashley held up my Dooney and Burke walllet.

"Oh." Seemed like all my mom could get out. I steped foward and smiled at Ashley. She handed me my wallet.

"Thank you. I don’t know what I would have done without this."

"Your very welcome."

"So, Ashley do you want to come inside?" My dad invited her.

"I would love to, but I need to get home. I have alot of school work to do."

"Do you have all you students’ papers stacked up in you bedroom like Paula did?" He grinned and everyone laughed.

"No, I don’t mean student papers. I mean my own school papers."

"So your going to school part time?"

"Yes. I want to become a Life Science teacher. Don’t get me wrong I love teaching drama, but I want to make a bigger difference in most of these kids lives’." Now, my whole family was crowded in the doorway.

"What do you mean?"

"I want to make Life Science fun for students. I know when I was in school, I was always interested in that subject, but the teacher just killed it."

"Oh are you talking about Mrs. Calder?" My mom asked.

"Yes."

"Oh, lord. That women was a complete bitch." Both of them laughed.

"And being taught anatomy by a ugly, old, and grouchy teaher was even weirder."

"It gives you a sick mental image doesn’t it?"

"You have no idea." They giggled again. "Anyways, I should get going."

"It was nice seeing you again." My mom said sincerely. I could tell Ashley was surprised at this but, she smiled at her once it really sunk in. 

"You too, Mrs. C. And it was nice meeting you again too, Arthur. I will you two in class, Monday." She pointed to me and Glen. With her goodbyes said, she briskly walked back to her car and got in. All of us watched while her Porshe pulled away.
