"how could i forget a student who wrote a paper on why the world needs more criminals? " mr. wells said.
"this is one of your former students? " roberta asked mr. wells.
"yes, maggie was in my second period english class. she earned an a because of her clever writing," mr. wells answered.
"mr. wells is an incredible teacher. he taught me everything i know about dangling modifiers. he really deserves to be america's top teacher," i gushed.
"can you keep a secret? " roberta asked me.
"definitely," i said.
"mr. wells is one of the three finalists for the top teacher," roberta told me.
"that is great! congratulations, mr. wells. i hope you win." suddenly, i remembered my serving duties. "could i take your drink order? " i asked.
the rest of the meal went well. i observed mrs. rush, mr. wells, and roberta jules laughing and talking like the best of friends. each time i checked on their table, they made me feel like a part of the group. i had to tear myself away to wait on my other tables. roberta paid for the meal and left me a very generous tip. i was and relieved that i would be able to pay all of my bills. roberta also left me a note saying that she would love to interview me about mr. wells. i was thrilled with the opportunity to meet with roberta and possibly be on tv. i couldn't wait to tell my friends about my exciting night at work.
