I don’t care who the student is, teachers should never be condescending. That should be the first rule in the teacher handbook.

Personally, I felt pretty safe. Librarians are like priests. You can tell them you want information on just about any subject and they never look at you weird. It’s like a rule or something. I figured even in a small town like this, my question wouldn’t be the strangest one the librarian had heard. I didn’t know if librarians had any sort of official privacy code, but I was counting on confidence. They’re not big talkers. It comes from being forced to be quiet all the time.

I walk around the school hallways and look at the people. I look at the teachers and wonder why they’re here. If they like their jobs. Or us. And I wonder how smart they were when they were fifteen. Not in a mean way. In a curious way. It’s like looking at all the students and wondering who’s had their heart broken that day, and how they are able to cope with having three quizzes and a book report due on top of that. Or wondering who did the heart breaking. And wondering why.
