Class was in session, and the teacher looked to be curious why a student was walking around in the halls soaking wet.
Kelsey wasn’t about to run away or anything, so she turned to face the teacher. The teacher wasn’t one of hers; she didn’t even know his name. He was carrying a few boxes, that he seemed to be having trouble carrying.
Kelsey held her pants with one hand, and readied her note in the other. She was worried how she was going to explain her issue.
“What are you doing out here in the halls, and why are you soaking wet?” the teacher asked.
Kelsey looked at her feet for a moment. She didn’t deal with getting in trouble very well. “I just came from a doctor’s appointment and it’s raining outside.”
“Oh, so you’re heading to the office?” The man asked, seeing Kelsey holding the note. “We’re headed the same way, mind helping me carry a box miss?”
Kelsey really had wanted to get to the bathroom to fix her pants, but at the same time she wasn’t about to say “no” to authority.
A) Kelsey agrees to help out. She reaches out and grabs one of the heavy boxes to help carry them to the office.
B) Kelsey tries to excuse herself. She needs to first fix her pants before she goes running about helping people.
