Well, maybe it's not totally accurate to say that nobody liked Jane. That's not an entirely true statement. Teachers liked Jane. Teachers loved Jane, even though Jane thought they had a funny way of showing it, giving her another worksheet to do when she finished the assigned worksheet fifteen minutes before the rest of the class, telling her parents that Jane was a special child, maybe they should move her to a higher grade and her parents always saying no, we want our daughter to have a normal childhood. It became quite normal for them to have these conversations while Jane sat outside the door wit ha garage sale, dog eared copy of Gone With the Wind-a five-hundred-page-long book! -swinging her pate

Bored with his rudimentary paper wads, Jordan ran up to the box. "I wanna be a genius, too!" He laughed nastily and tore out another manila folder, exposed it to the class, naked and vulnerable away from the safety of the hot pink box. Everyone laughed louder. Mr. Moore didn't even look up from his newspaper.

It took Jane's second grade teacher, Mrs. Terada to really show some Jane some love. Jane thought Mrs. Terada was an absolute nitwit, with her long skinny arms and legs, looking down at all the children through a tiny pair of glasses perched on the end of her nose. And oh, it took all the acting Jane could muster to smile and nod, to not roll her eyes and stick out her tongue when Mrs. Terada presented her with the box. The box sat next to the rattling heat register (that always seemed to work in September, never in December). Under its hot pink cover were rows and rows of manila files, each containing a set of math worksheets, maybe a short story with comprehension questions at the end. With an all too happy smile, Mrs. Terada told Jane that while she was waiting for the children to get done with their work, she could come and get a file to work on and then turn it in. Eventually, she would go through the entire box and gee, wouldn't that be special! Even though she wondered why Mrs. Terada made the box sound like some sort of special treat and even though she wondered why she had to do those extra worksheets and even though she would rather be reading Anna Karenina, Jane smiled and nodded and took the first manila folder back to her desk.

Jordan thought it would be funny to toss rolled up wads of paper, aiming them for the ramp made by the spine of an open copy of Crime and Punishment-a five-hundred-page-long book. Jane didn't even honor him with a dirty look. Jane kept on reading.

One by one, one flash after another, poof of smoke after poof of smoke, Jane's pencil box disintegrated the children into nothing more than hairbrushes, a candy bar, a pack of Pokemon cards. The box even took care of David Jones until he was nothing more than the black shiny pager that didn't even work, it was only for show.
