Mr. Edger walked into the classroom looking very unhappy and concerned.
"Are you alright Mr. Edger?" Christiana asked.
"Uh yeah, I'm fine I just, Umm… You guys feel free to do whatever you want today until the class ends, I'll just like to sit here at my desk and think, " Mr.Edger said.
Timothy knew Mr. Edger wanted to protect Mark and did whatever he could in his power to help him.
Timothy thought to himself saying, "my mind telling me he is gonna think it over and help Mark." Timothy did not have anything to do to push time, so he just sat at his desk looking at the other students conversing about Mark.
"Timothy? Do you think it's something wrong with Mark?" Josh asked.
"Naw, I don't think he's crazy, I think he just snapped and anyone would, including me, I always snap when Maron and D'Angelo bothers me, " Timothy said.
"In my opinion, I think the white boy is insane and what he did was really creepy when he made that threat about blowing up the school, that's when I really thought he was extremely crazy when he said that, I heard when white people get angry they go loco, " Josh said.
Timothy did not really listen to what Josh had said about Mark. He does well by sticking to his own opinions and not entertaining rumors. Timothy sat in silence for the whole period with his head lying face down on his desk.
3:15 came, and the class ended. Mr. Edger's arms was placed behind his head and was staring at the papers on his desk.
As Timothy watches Mr.Edger's behavior. He did not think his mind was focusing on the papers, he was still thinking about Mark. Timothy got up from his seat and strolled towards Mr. Edger's desk.
"What's wrong Mr. Edger?" Timothy asked.
"I'm fine Timothy, you go on home, there is no homework assigned to you guys today," he said.
"Okay, Mr. Edger you have a nice day, " Timothy said.
"Yeah thanks, you too," Mr.Edger said.
Timothy left out the classroom thinking, "I hope he be okay, I'm sho glad he didn't give us no homework today though."
