Second Chances, Part 2
By Mary Lynn Bushong

¹     Jake was finally back in school after an accident left him wheelchair bound. It was still only first hour, and he'd already been called to the principal's office.

²     The wide glass door to the office was propped open. The secretaries looked up with smiles. One waved them back to Mr. Harmon's office.

³     "He's waiting for you," she said.

⁴     Jake nodded and rolled toward the other office.

⁵     "Mr. Harmon?" he asked as he stopped at the open door.

⁶     "Jake!" Mr. Harmon greeted him with a wide smile. "Welcome back to school. Sorry to pull you out of class, but I wondered if you could help me with something."

⁷     "I'll try, sir," said Jake hesitantly. Relief that it was nothing serious flooded through him.

⁸     "I know that having a dog at school is a novelty for many of your classmates. I thought that we would have a special assembly before lunch so we could explain what Buster does and how they should act around him. I also wondered if you would be willing to tell us a little about him as well. I know this is short notice, so don't feel like you have to."
