(Outside Reading #2) Book: Private

Reed actually begins school and meets her first teacher. Let's just say she doesn't get off on the best terms since she back talks when the teacher accuses her answer to be wrong. But in truth, he tricked her and tried to make her look bad on her first day in front of the entire class. After that, she was convinced he could do no better and she hated him. When he called her to his desk after class, he asked her to catch up with all the other students by reading 8 books that the other students had by the end of the week. At lunch, Reed had an encounter with the Billings girls. They came up to her and called her their "peeping tom" since Ariana had seen her staring at them in the window.

First of all, if I were in Reed's place during class, I would be furious with my teacher. I think that is really wrong of teachers to make fun of students on purpose. I believe all of it is cruel and unnecessary. Reed knows she doesn't need to read those 8 books to catch up so I wouldn't if I were her. On the subject of the Billings girls, I guess I would be a little weirded out if I saw some random girl looking at me through a window but I don't think they should have been that rude about it. They seem like they always are like that, and very stuck-up. But Reed really wants to fit in, and be a Billings girl.
