"Mr. Garcia, you heard it yourself. Mr. Keaton is ready to welcome Tyler into his class," Megan said, her voice filled with a mix of excitement and urgency, as if worried Mr. Keaton might change his mind. "Let's just send Tyler over to Class 19. I mean, the kids there aren't exactly acing their exams; Tyler will fit right in!"
Let's make him someone else's problem!
Mr. Garcia could feel a headache brewing from Megan's attitude. However, someone higher up had mentioned they wanted Tyler in a more prestigious class. Could he really shunt Tyler off to Class 19 without any fuss?
Mr. Garcia didn't know this higher-up personally, nor had he ever met them. But he was aware of their formidable influence, being a head honcho among several groups. He was not about to risk ticking them off.
After mulling it over, Mr. Garcia turned to Tyler and asked, "Tyler, I'm leaving the choice up to you. Do you want to go to Class 3 or Class 19?"
At this, Megan's face fell, as if worried Tyler might insist on sticking with her, avoiding him like he was trouble. "Tyler, I think you need a reality check. Even if you join Class 3, you won't keep up. It's better for you to start from the basics in Class 19."
"Tyler, if you’re up for it, come to Class 19. I promise to teach you well," Mr. Keaton said with as much warmth as he could muster.
Mr. Garcia also watched Tyler, waiting for his answer.
After a moment of contemplation, Tyler finally said, "I'll go to Class 19."
Megan exhaled in relief, having feared Tyler might opt for Class 3. Luckily, he seemed to recognize his own limits.
She quickly added, "Mr. Garcia, you heard him. He chose Class 19 himself. You can't force him into my class now."
"Alright then," Mr. Garcia sighed.
"Ms. Lee, don’t say I didn’t try to be fair with you."
Even if Tyler's grades weren't stellar, his connection to that influential figure suggested his status was significant.
