LaKeisha

A profile. LaKeisha has these big fawn eyes, and an easy smile full of perfect little teeth. She is courteous and cooperative, and I have never in my life caught her talking. This is probably because every time I hear a whisper or a disruptive shuffle from her side of the room, my eyes dart over to find her batting her eyelids, looking as innocent as a baby dove. Nothing says, "You can't prove I'm guilty" like LaKeisha's smile.

I am the teacher, but sometimes I'm pretty sure it's LaKeisha who is running my classroom.
