Bad Move
“I flipped it open to the back, found "W," flipped through the pages for the Walker listings. I ran my finger down the dozens and dozens of Walkers, down through the alphabet. For every letter, there were several Walkers. I scanned right to the end, found a slew of "Walker W's," not one "Walker X," a couple of "Walker Y's," and then I found my own listing. "Walker Z," followed by our address and phone number.
There was only one "Walker Z." "Shit," I said.
"Pardon?" said the principal. I didn't b...other to close the book before turning around and running back down the hall, up the stairs, and down the corridor where I'd left Paul, expecting to see him waiting his turn to see Ms. Wilton. But he was gone.
I looked into the classroom and there he was, sitting across from his teacher. I swept into the room, breathless.
"Sorry," I said. "Really sorry. Sorry I'm late." I extended a hand to Ms. Wilton, who took it reluctantly and smiled grimly. I grabbed a chair. "So, listen, really, sorry, but thank you for making time for this meeting." "Of course." "So, what's the problem with Paul here?" "Well, first of all," said Ms.MoreLess
