Meeting with Mrs. Parker
With questions swirling in my mind, I decided to seek out Tim’s teacher, Mrs. Parker, in the hope of getting some clarity. As I parked at the school, the familiar surroundings brought me some comfort. As soon as I entered the room, she greeted me warmly, surrounded by papers on her desk. “I wanted to know how Tim has been,” I began, eager for any detail that might explain his behavior.

Academic difficulties
Mrs. Parker consulted her grades with a worried look on her face. “His grades have been dropping,” she admitted. “He’s been very distracted in class lately.” The words didn’t surprise me, but hearing it out loud hurt. Subjects where he used to shine had become a struggle. I thanked him for his frankness, mentally recording every detail. It was clear that Tim was facing something bigger than a simple bad mood.
