“Okay, so, Julian Albans?” she said, looking up. Julian raised his hand and said “Here” at the same time.
“Hi, Julian,” she said, making a note on her seating chart. She picked up the very first folder and held it out toward him.
“Come pick it up,” she said, kind of no-nonsense. He got up and took it from her.
“Ximena Chin?” She handed a folder to each kid as she read off the names.
As she went down the list, I noticed that the seat next to me was the only one still empty,
even though there were two kids sitting at one desk just a few seats away.
When she called the name of one of them, a big kid named Henry Joplin who already looked like a teenager, she said:
Henry, there’s an empty desk right over there. Why don’t you take that seat, okay?
She handed him his folder and pointed to the desk next to mine.
Although I didn’t look at him directly, I could tell Henry did not want to move next to me,
just by the way he dragged his backpack on the floor as he came over, like he was moving in slow motion.
Then he plopped his backpack up really high on the right side of the desk so it was kind of like a wall between his desk and mine.
