Kimberly was surprised by how quickly Mr. Mercer had gotten around to this.  He was absolutely sickening and she couldn't' believe Miss Du Pain would take that kind of treatment from him.  Kimberly didn't like the way that he looked at her.<br/><br/>The other members of the class looked on in surprise, obviously they hadn't known anything about was going on here.  What surprised Kimberly most however, was that he was doing this so out in the open.  Teachers generally waited till the last 15 or 20 minutes of class, release the rest of the class keeping only those in the special program for their class.  What the hell was he playing at.<br/><br/>It took a few moments before the the rest of the class realized what was going, and then a mass exodus to the door, Kimberly stayed where she was, guessing that Mr. Mercer had locked the door to keep them all inside.  This was not her first dance.  She'd already been through a year here, had been part of the special program from the very beginning
