Excerpt
Someone wants to scare me, and he wins when I react this way; she repeated that message as she pushed her desk down the aidle, drawing energy from her rising anger. Why hadn't she listened when Susan urged her to leave with the rest of the teachers? Stupid question - twenty minutes earlier she still believed she would rather stay an hour than risk losing a paper en route. If forced to ask a student to retake a test, she'd be as disappointed in herself as the student would be upset with her.
