I looked up at his outstretched hands, suddenly irritated at it all. I ignored his hands, and then struggled to stand to my feet, placing a book haphazardly in my bag. I was done with all these.

I would really like to know what I had done wrong to serve this. I need to know. Tell me.” I huffed. “Who was the angry young man snubbing me this morning. You couldn’t even look me in the eyes. And, suddenly you are all up in my face. Who does that Mike?” I snapped.
