“asked the young woman sitting behind Mr. Saur’s desk. “Are you okay?” I stared at her with my mouth hanging open to my knees. I didn’t answer her questions. I gripped the camera tightly in both hands, afraid I might drop it. “Where—where’s Mr. Saur?” I finally managed to choke out. “He’s not feeling well,” she replied, studying me. “I’m Ms. Rose. I’m substituting today.” “He—he’s not here?” I stammered in a high, shrill voice. She nodded. “I’ll be teaching the class today. Is there anything I c...an help you with?” I glanced down at the camera. “No,” I muttered unhappily. “No. You can’t help me.” The room was never this noisy when Mr. Saur sat behind the desk. Kids were shouting and laughing. Someone tossed a balled-up piece of paper at me. It bounced off my shoulder and onto Ms. Rose’s desk. I heard loud laughter from the back of the room.
