The teacher wrote something on the blackboard…

David said, “You make a better door than a window even though you are a pane.” (Pain was the intention.)

I laughed until tears streaked down my face. Never seen anyone show such disrespect and get away with it.

Rumors began to swirl that day that I was on drugs.

The quote I remember was, “Nobody laughs like that.”

I was 15 and had never taken drugs, and yes I laughed like that.
