Mrs. Haze: "Hey, I've noticed your grades have been down lately. You're not usually like this. What's up and how can I help you?" She
said, smiling.
Jessie: "I've been feeling a lot of apathy lately. I know I'm not usually like this, but I feel really drained. At this point, I'm just forcing myself to
work. There's too much pressure on the group project I've been working on." He uttered, sighing.
Mrs. Haze: "Thank you for being honest. If you'd like, you can take a
break and treat yourself with self care." She looked at him, expressing concern in her eyes.
Jessie: "I'll
try... but I'm not really used to
people telling me that. I've
done more than half of the project whereas my peers only
done less 10 percent."
Mrs. Haze. "I'm so sorry. I'm going to remove you from the group and let you
work with Ellie. She also has done a lot for her.. past group. If you're stuck or anything I'll be here to help both of you." Mrs. Haze grinned, knowing that they both secretly had a crush on each other.
