The Reynold’s family had been to church the previous day and on the following rainy Monday morning, Jordan’s day had started off wet but incrementally improved. Mom had really turned a page in how she was treating her and Dad’s absence actually brought a different level of peace to the household. When Amber called her “Giraffe” in history class first thing in the morning, Mr. Charles overheard and went on the attack right in front of everyone. By the time he finished his lecture, Amber was the one in tears and the rest of the class was wide eyed with shock. He had gone on and on about how he and the other teachers weren’t going to tolerate that kind of nonsense anymore and that life was too short for kids at BCS not to behave like Christians to one another.
