The flooring in the hallway is a worn dark…

“Basically, why are you here? I think.” I asked a final time, and Hugh took a closer look inside the cell at the man, his face rested against the bars. Hugh showed no fear.

Those areas, like the cafeteria, hallways, bus gathering areas, and playgrounds, are usually the ones that lack more teacher observation and tasks to direct student behavior.

While the schools have many areas under control, the hallways at…
