Samantha Harbrook stood in the white washed hallway peaking into Miss Thomas's 4th grade classroom.
She had her eyes on the gangly boy lying on his stomach on a bean bag reading a book with his feet propped up in the air. All the boys and girls in the room were innocently reading it seemed to be the current activity. With the current state of peace she decided it was the best time to make her move. Will her eyes remaining on the boy she open the door and cooly strode over to him. All the students swiveled their necks like second nature to the sound of the door opening. Dozens of curious and fearful eyes pressed against her back as she bent down in front of the boy in the bean bag chair. "Winston, please follow me", she annunciated slowly and precisely. Winstons big brown eyes widened and he nodded in submission, slowly rising to obey. He bookmarked his book and put it back on the reading shelf, adjusted his glasses, and followed Samantha. As they left Samantha gave a familiar glance to Miss Thomas who in response lowered her eyes and sighed. The class was confused and with the growing buzz of whispers, a more outspoken class member, Rebecca Stark spoke up for her peers. "Miss THomas, whats going on, where is Winston going?"
