A Thorn In Their Sides

She did not know she was the worst kid in middle school until the teachers turned on her. It only took one teacher, and then it was two, and then it was three. suddenly, she was a bad kid. She spent her afternoons in the principal's office. Because she smiled too much. because she had a "wicked smile". I could not have been more pleased. He was much nicer than the teachers. "What did she do?" he would ask them. "I just can't stand looking at her." "She smiles too much." "Her laugh disrupts the class." It's quite the compliment to be this much a thorn in so many teachers' sides. Thank you, teachers. Thank you!
