The next day, at the beginning of our block class, Mrs Nielson informed us that everyone who failed to show up for the previous day’s detention would have to report that day and stay a full hour, rather than the half hour that she had imposed the day before.
She didn’t call out any names and, as far as I could tell, had not kept a list. Would she notice if one student skipped out of the punishment both days? I decided it was worth a try. Even if I got caught, it couldn’t be too bad. I was one of the best students in the class. Normally I drew nothing but praise from her.
Well, she did notice and she was not pleased. There was anything but praise when I arrived the next day. “Stay here when everyone else leaves for lunch,” she told me.
