It’s a terrible thing when a teacher survives an entire school year only to die
the first minute of summer vacation.
“Whatcha doing, Miss Carter?”
“Don’t move,” Charlotte whispered to whichever first grader had
spoken. Or maybe it was a second grader. Up until middle school, they all
sounded the same. Like little mice helping Cinderella prepare for the ball.
“Are you playing statues?” the nameless child squeaked.
“Not exactly.” Charlotte puckered her lips and blew a soft breath
without moving a muscle. “There’s a bee.”
“Where?”
Hovering an inch away from Charlotte’s face. What did the kid mean
where?
“Oh. Now I see him. He’s about to land on your nose. Are you trying to
get him to land on your nose?”
Must be Nash. She glimpsed a mop of brown curls in her peripheral
vision, and of all the O’Mally siblings, he was the most inquisitive. Or
troublesome when one wasn’t in the mood for inquisitive. “I’m trying to get
him to fly away.”
“Want me to help?”
Definitely Nash. And definitely not. Nash’s attempts to “help” often
led to blood, tears, and a trip to the nurse’s office—or principal’s,
depending on the type of help involved. “I’m okay, Nash. Really. You can
go.”
The final bell had rung, and children everywhere bubbled across the
schoolyard full of summer excitement. Teachers too. She couldn’t be sure,
but a conga line might have formed on the way to the bus stop with Ty
Zemeckis, the principal, leading the way.
“Want me to shoo it away for you?” Nash persisted.
“Nope. No need to make it mad.” Charlotte exhaled another breath,
hoping to mimic a gentle breeze that would carry the bee far, far away.
“I got stung once. It wasn’t that bad.”
It was when you were deathly allergic to bees. Or possibly deathly
allergic to bees. Ever since the terrible night Miranda Woods babysat for
Charlotte years ago and showed her the terrible movie My Girl, which
ended with a young boy’s terrible death from bee stings, Charlotte had
resolved to never find out.
Charlotte’s eyes crossed as the bee flitted in front of her nose. She
should have boycotted field day. Told Ty she’d pass out popsicles inside the
cafeteria. Scrub toilets. Clean gum from beneath desks. Anything but
referee three-legged races and kickball tournaments in a field full of flowerpollinating assassins.
Thankfully this slayer must have grown bored buzzing around her
head. It flew off, leaving Charlotte to live another day. Whew.
She spun for the brick school building, ready to pack up her meager
belongings, maybe do a little conga dance of her own, then rush over to
Mucho Mucho Queso. She couldn’t wait to see the look of surprise on her
parents’ faces when she handed them a check for two thousand—
