Kendell Marano Parker.

- When formatting the design, one cannot underestimate the carat of the stone in question... - the teacher is interrupted by the entrance of the director.

- I'm sorry to interrupt him, it's just a second. - He tells the teacher to nod and he turns his eyes to me.

What did I do?

- Miss Kendell, can you come with me to my office?! - he kind of says, kind of asks and I realise my heart beating a thousand an hour.

I follow him in silence trying to remember what I did.

The monthly payment is up to date.

- Sit down, please. - He says signalling to the chair, and so I do watching the folders of my work.

I must have made a lot of mistakes in these jobs to get out of class.

He sits down and smiles, it's not a mockery smile.

- Calm down Kendell, that's good news. - he says for sure noting my affliction.

- Less bad. - I say and he smiles and opens his drawer, withdrawing a cheque handing me.
