Detention Character Introduction Worksheet
A Seat by the Window
At 3:20, the last bell emptied Wattle Creek Secondary. In Room 12, Lachlan sat at the desk nearest the window, turning a cracked blue pencil between her fingers. She had been sent to detention for leaving class without permission. She had left because a new student, Mei, was standing alone in the corridor, looking lost. Lachlan had shown him the way to the office, but she had missed the teacher’s instructions on returning to class. Mr Patel placed a sheet of lined paper on her desk. “You can write about what happened, or you can sit quietly,” he said. His voice was firm, not unkind. Lachlan glanced at the other students. One was drawing tiny squares in the margin of a workbook. Another stared at the clock. Nobody spoke. Lachlan felt annoyed about the detention, but she also wondered whether Mei had found his class. She wrote at the top of the page: “Helping someone can still get you into trouble.” Then she paused. It sounded unfair, so she added, “Next time, I could tell the teacher where I’m going.” The clock ticked on. Lachlan set down the pencil and began again, this time with a clearer idea of what she wanted to say.
