Crystal squinted, trying to get a better look at the grown up's face. "Oh, I uh..." Crystal realized how much she didn't want to admit that she was being bullied. How rediculous!! The teacher would find out eventually. Buy she just couldn't say it. "Well, ah, actually..." Crystal bit her lip. She wasn't the best at coming up with excuses. "I'm just sort of scared that I'll hurt myself because I can barely see without my glasses. Which I'm not wearing because my mom said that they got too beat up last year" not that it was always gym class beating them up. There was plenty of being tripped in the halls helping that right along...Crystal squinted again at the teacher. She obviously wasn't fooled. Crystal was out of excuses. So she just looked at the mare and waited for her to talk.
