The Quiet Achiever
Max sat in class gazing at Clare Jones. He watched as she leaned over to her friend Julie and passed her a note. Her small school blouse and shorter-than-normal skirt defined her curvaceous body. Julie saw Max watching her friend. She giggled and motioned to Clare to look behind her. Clare turned and looked back at Max. Max was caught out. His elbow slipped on the desk and dislodged his small tin pencil box. It crashed to the floor making a loud noise. The entire class turned and laughed at Max. He felt the heat of a crimson blush as a rush of prickles ran up his back from embarrassment. He glanced back at Clare and Julie who were still looking at him, giggling. A quiet fury surged inside him. He hated it when people laughed at him. It was worse when Clare did though. She seemed to know he liked her. Humiliated, Max slumped in his chair. He lowered his gaze to his desk. Surely no more ridicule would eventuate if he lay low for the rest of the lesson. 'Max Faulkner!' shouted the Legal Studies teacher, Mr Finch. 'Would you stop daydreaming and concentrate! I don't like your attitude young man. I'm trying to inform the class about the Queensland court system and all you can do is stare at your desk? Pleas
I know his family would appreciate any thoughts and prayers you might have for him in this time of grief. ' The class erupted in laughter when Max's voice faltered. He needed better marks in Legal Studies so he had done his best to submit a very good paper. He couldn't remember him ever trying to humiliate him in any way like Finch used to. Most showed some degree of disappointment. He hoped that it wouldn't be too obvious. He liked Mr Sampson as he was quite friendly to Max. I'll see if I can help you understand where you went wrong. 'Mr Finch is unable to come to school today,' Sampson explained. He suffered severe head injuries and is currently lying in hospital in a coma. It was good news that they had Mr Sampson for the rest of the year. He was obviously still coming to terms with the news of Finch's accident. He noticed a police car parked in front of the school office. He felt nauseous when he learned Finch had given him a 'D' for his paper.
