I’ve always tried so hard to behave myself. My mother always said I was a people-pleaser, and I guess she’s not wrong. I try to look smart. I try to be helpful. I try to listen and to learn. The trouble is I just can’t seem to get things right. Sometimes I feel that the harder I try, the more likely I am to end up in trouble. To make matters worse, most of the time I just don’t know what I’ve done wrong, and it’s impossible to learn from your mistakes if you don’t know what those mistakes are.
I was informed yesterday evening that disciplinary action was required as a result of my recent behavior. No more information was given. I was simply told to report to Master Stone at 9pm. Of course, I spent the whole night and all of the day today worrying about what I’d done, trying to replay every darned conversation I’d ever had with Master Stone in an attempt to figure out why I’d been summoned. By the time I reached the chamber, I was a mess.
