No sooner had Alice finished texting than she heard Mr. Cook's stern voice, "Alice, can you walk us through what we just learned please?"
She rose in panic, "I'm sorry. I ... wasn't paying attention."
Mr. Cook smacked his hand down on the desk, "Day dreaming in my class? So now that the teachers find you talented, you think you are too smart to be here, huh?"
"No, I'm sorry, really." Alice apologized with her head down.
Though slightly pleased by her reaction, Mr. Cook kept a straight face, "My office. After school."
"Yes, sir," Alice murmured.
"Okay. You may sit now." The teacher gave her another glance before continuing the lesson.
He had been pondering how to discipline Alice for Penny until the opportunity came to him just now.
To his surprise, despite being a small town girl, Alice had an exquisitely pretty look that tickled his fancy.
