"uhhhmmmm....sure..." she said. The the bell rang as a signel that classes were over....for them at least. "Daine. Can I see you for a moment?" Ms. Rodriguez said. Daine went back to her seat. "What's the matter Daine? You've flunked the quiz, sat down in the wrong seat, and now you aren't listening to any of my lectures. You're one of my best students Daine and I just can't look at you with you're grade point average slowly failing." Ms. Rodriguez said. "I'm sorry ma'am. It's just that the whole accident with..." she stopped. The teacher looked at her curiously. "What accident Daine? Your brother never told me about any accident. neither did you're mom." Ms. Rodriguez said. Daine kept quiet. A knock came at the door. "Oh! Josh! Come in." Ms. Rodriguez said. Daine didn't dare to look at him. "Uhmmmmm....you wanted to see me ma'am?" Josh said. "Please take a seat for awhile." Ms. Rodriguez said. "Ok ma'am." Josh said as he sat a few chairs away from Daine. "Now Daine....tell me...what's gotten into you?" Ms. Rodriguez asked. "I.....uh.....I...." Daine said. "Her dog died!" Josh answered. Daine looked at him ridiculously and mouthed the word 'What???' "Yes Josh? WOuld you mind repeating that?" Ms. Rodriguez said. "It's their dog Miss Rodriguez. Fifi just died. Am I right Daine?" Josh said as he stared at her. "Uhmmmmm.... I don't... Oh! Yeah... It's just so sad to think that my little Fifi would just die like that. She was just a puppy..." she said as she pretended to cry. "Oh it's alright Daine. Don't worry about your puppy. Tell you what....I'll excuse you for awhile and Josh....could you help her out?" Ms. Rodriguez said. "I'd love to ma'am" Josh said with a gentle smile. "Good..... you may go now...." Ms. Rodriguez said. "Thanks a lot here....you saved me...." Daine said. [b][i]"it's nothing.....I'll do anything for you....."[/i][/b]
