The counselor looked at her closely. She'd read her file. She would have to try something rather different with this one. Miss Fine already knew that her soothing tone wouldn't work on Tiffany. At least not yet...
"Miss Sanders take a seat please" she said indicating the empty chair in front of her desk. Tiffany took it looking nervous.
"Is something wrong?" She asked.
Miss Fine sighed and looked at her sternly. "I'm afraid there is Miss Sanders."
"You see I've been getting reports from your teachers that you aren't doing very well in some of your classes."
Tiffany was shocked. She thought she had been doing well. "That can't be right." She said puzzled.
"Are you questioning my reports?" Miss Fine said crossly.
"Urm, no." Tiffany replied quickly suddenly afraid of the woman. "It's just that I thought that I had been doing really well. Especially in English."
Miss Fine nodded. "Your grades in English are fine." Tiffany breathed a sigh of relief. "It's your other classes that aren't so well. And we need to talk about your behaviour during school."
