Kelly turned to see her professor staring right at the gun in her hand. She tried to quickly hide it but she ended up dropping it on the floor below.
"Kelly!" the professor spoke firmly. "What are you doing with that fake gun?"
She was referring to the gun on the floor. Kelly scrambled trying to pick it up before the Professor.
"I didn't ... I mean it's not ... "
Kelly stuttered trying to come up with a valid excuse. Of course anything shaped like a gun in school was prohibited and usually resulted in suspension or even expulsion.
"Here! Hand it to me," Professor Fields said, extending her hand out.
Kelly pondered what she should do: cooperate and risk expulsion from school or would she fire the strange gun at her teacher and possibly get in worse trouble?
