He finally told us about the attacks just before the bell rang for the next period.
Years later, I ran into him while I was a substitute teacher. I brought up that memory to him, and he said, “You were right. I didn’t know what to do. I was afraid of traumatizing y’all by turning on the TV.”

That morning, we were doing group work when the vice principal walked in and whispered something in his ear. I watched the color drain from his face as the vice principal walked out and locked the door. I watched this normally gregarious man debate whether to tell us what was going on.
