That seemed to sway them, and the lead guard turned to the others. Assign four to Luna Amelia’s protection. Do not leave her side for any reason.”
“I understand, Sir.”
With that decided, I left the house with four guards. They held the car door open for me, then joined me inside. One drove us to the school, where once more they flanked me as I walked to the front door. I was buzzed into the building and found my daughter standing in the hallway in front of the principal’s office. There was loud talking from within.
“What happened?” I asked her.
“Mrs. Myers just doesn’t like me,” she replied.
I gave Stacy a look. Yes, I trusted my daughter, but I also knew she could be a bit of a troublemaker at home. Though I hadn’t experienced it yet, I was sure she wasn’t a perfect angel in school.
That being said, with how completely unlikeable Mrs. Myers was, I wanted to be sure of things before I walked in through the door.
“Tell me what happened,” I said. “Quickly. Or I won’t be able to defend you in there.”
Stacy lowered her head. “She said I was talking back, but I was just trying to correct her.”
“What did she say that you had to correct?” I asked.
“She said dolphins were fish,” Stacy said, crossing her arms. “But they are mammals. I know they are mammals. But she wouldn’t believe me, and then I got in trouble.”
The door to the principal’s office opened then. The principal was sitting behind his desk. It was Mrs. Myers who had opened the door.
“Come in, Luna Amelia.” She glared at Stacy and then at the guards behind me. “Just Luna Amelia.”
“I don’t think that’s necessary,” I said. I wasn’t going to get my guards in trouble for having to leave my side, and I certainly wasn’t going to leave my daughter feeling abandoned in this hallway, especially if what she told me was true. “Tell me exactly why my daughter is being punished.”
“She talked back to me,” Mrs. Myers said.
“How?”
“She refused to acknowledge my authority as her teacher,” Mrs. Myers said.
That didn’t answer my question. “How?”
“She was disrupting class by arguing with me.’

“Over whether a dolphin is a fish or a mammal?” I asked.
“Yes,” Mrs. Myers said. Her face looked sort of pinched, like she had been sucking on a lemon. I wondered if it was always that way.

“And which did you say is the right answer,” I asked, glancing at the principal behind her.
“A fish, obviously,” Mrs. Myers said.
At once, the principal lifted his hand and covered his face.
“But I hardly see how that is relevant,” Mrs. Myers said. “The issue here is that she talked back to me, which makes me wonder the kind of lessons she is learning at home.”
I straightened slightly, starting to see what was really happening here. This wasn’t so much a power trip over
her student as it was an attack on me.
