  1.史蒂夫已经12岁了,他的父母都是酒鬼,他就要彻底脱离自己的学校生活了。然而很明显,他能够阅读,但他总不及格。从一年级开始,一年一年过去了,他依然不及格。

  史蒂夫长得很健壮,看上去比12岁的孩子要大。但他一直都被人忽略,直到有一天怀特小姐的到来。

  2.怀特小姐总是笑容可掬,年轻,而且有一头迷人的红头发。她是史蒂夫喜欢的类型。这是他平生第一次,无法把眼睛从老师身上移开,然而,他还是不及格。他没有做作业,他总是找怀特小姐的碴。每次她说出尖刻的话时,他都感到自己的心已经碎了。每次完不成作业被罚的时候,他都感到非常痛苦。但他依然不学习。

  3.在第一学期的期中,整个七年级要进行基础技能测验。史蒂夫匆匆完成了自己的测验,并继续一天天地幻想其他的事情。他的心并不在学校,而在他经常独自躲藏的树林,在那里,他试图摆脱酒鬼之家的声响和气味。没有人关心他到底安不安全。也没有人知道他已经走了,因为所有的人都兴奋地没有精力顾及其他。不过奇怪的是,史蒂夫从没有旷过一次课。

  4.一天,怀特小姐急躁的声音打破了他的白日梦。

  5.“史蒂夫!”他感到很吃惊,转过头去看着她。

  6.“注意力要集中!”

  7.她宣布七年级测验结果的时候,史蒂夫用那种青春期特有的崇敬盯着怀特小姐。

  8.她对全班说:“你们都考得很好。除了一个男生。告诉你们这个真让我感到伤心。但是……”她停顿了一下,眼光转向史蒂夫的座位,用犀利的目光在他的脸上搜寻着什么。

  9.“我们七年级最聪明的孩子,我的科目竟然不及格!”
