They used to call her “the witch（女巫）”, but today I found things were different.

My legs were too short to reach the floor from up there on the big chair. I was so___________. My legs started to shake.

It was the first time I had been to the principal’s（校長的）office. And I knew ___________ she was going to ask me.

Why had I been running on the concrete（混凝土） in the playground? Why hadn’t I followed the school rules?

The principal’s secretary was sitting at her desk. She kept asking me questions like whether I liked school and what grade I was in. I didn’t want to talk to her, ___________I just gave one-word answers.         

Then she asked what my dad did. But I didn’t really know what he did, so I made something up. “He plays basketball for the Boston Celtics,” I said.

The secretary just looked at me, and said ________ more.

Just then, the door to the principal’s office opened. There she was, the woman that everyone called “the witch”.

Was she really that bad? I was __________to see her office walls were bright yellow, and there were some nice pictures on the desk.

She told me about the pictures. I was surprised that she had a family and a kid, just like me.
