Today was my first day working as a substitute teacher, and the principal called me into his office.
The second I saw his face, I knew I was in trouble.
Sitting across from him was the biggest donor of our school, and the billionaire father of my favorite student.
He was threatening to sue the school because his daughter got hurt in my class.
I tried to explain what happened, but the principal slammed his hand on the desk, his voice shaking,
"I'll fire her right away. I'm so sorry, sir."
Suddenly, the door burst open, and his daughter ran in with tears streaking down her cheeks.
"Don't be mad at her, Daddy. It wasn't her fault."
She stepped between us, her shoulders squared like she was trying to protect me.
He stood slowly, then whispered something only she could hear, and her eyes went wide with excitement.
He looked at me and growled,
"If you tutor her at my mansion for the rest of the month... I'll drop the lawsuit."
