“Ms. Richardson, OMG! I am bleeding! I don’t know what happened. Can you see it right there?”
A student rushes over to my desk delicately holding her hand, alarm in her eyes. I can really see the injury that has my student so escalated.
“You are probably going to live.”
“What? That is not very nice to say. You don’t care that I cut myself? Oh wait, it’s chocolate…”
Sigh…
Ha – totally love this slice! Sounds like middle school? Great job with the dialogue and suspense.

very good. And I’d’ve never thought chocolate could look like blood, but now that you mention it… Did the child lick it off?

I don’t know if she licked it off. I was busy trying to get the days started. This youngster always seems to have some emergency…

I like the contrast of the urgency in student voice and the calmness in yours.
