I walk towards the blonde with her hand up.
"I forgot to tell you something, Señorita."
"Yes, Sofía?" I ask the teen.
"I hit Elena with my car."
I turn to look at the empty seat. "Is that why she's not here?" There's an exclamation point to my question.
"No, no, she's fine! It was Monday night and she came to school yesterday, so she's fine!"
"Uh huh." My comment is laced with suspicion.
"She is!" Sofía protests. "It was her fault too!"
"Really?"
"I was turning to leave after the softball game and thought she was going to keep walking straight but she turned left!"
"And now she's not in school."
"She's fine!"
**I'm not sure why this student felt it was important to fill me in on her driving incident but it certainly made for a few amusing moments as they worked independently on their Costa Rica projects. Also, I did see Elena in the halls later that day so I guess that hit only took place at 1-2 mph and may have been more Elena walking into the side of the car even :)
