One day,Miss White’s impatient voice broke into his daydreams.
“Steve!”Startled,he turned to look at her.
“Pay attention!”
Steve locked his gaze on Miss White with adolescent adoration,as she began to go over the test results for the seventh grade.
“You all did pretty well,”she told the class,“except for one boy,and it breaks my heart to tell you this,but...”She hesitated,pinning Steve to his seat with a sharp stare,her eyes searching his face.
“The smartest boy in the seventh grade is failing my class!”

She just stared at Steve,as the class spun around for a good look. Steve dropped his eyes and carefully examined his fingertips.
After that,it was war! Steve still wouldn’t do his homework. Even as the punishments became more severe,he remained stubborn.
“Just try it! ONE WEEK!”He was unmoved.
“You’re smart enough! You’ll see a change!”Nothing fazed him.
“Give yourself a chance! Don’t give up on your life!”Nothing.
“Steve! Please! I care about you!”
Wow! Suddenly,Steve got it!! Someone cared about him? Someone,totally unattainable and perfect,CARED ABOUT HIM?!
