When school got out, I knew I had to leave. Normally I would go to football practice but since I’m benched, I couldn’t.
It’s weird leaving at three thirty instead around six o’clock.as I was walking out the front of the school, I saw a face that should not be there.
“Mom?” I said as I got closer to her.
“Hey, I waited for you. I got a call to come talk about you.” She said with a shy smile.
It was about that test. Mom being here and the look on her face, I knew it wasn’t good.
I let out a slow breath, “I’m dumb.” I said.
My mom put her hand on my shoulders, “I never want to hear those words come from your mouth again. You are not dumb. You are very smart. But we do need to talk.” She told me.
“Now?” I asked.
My mom took her hand off my shoulder and looked around at students
