In My Desperate Time

May Wilson takes my computer away and gives it to Nicole Snow.

No!

Nicole Snow wouldn’t let me go if she saw the unfinished drawings.

“The computer is my personal property. It’s my privacy. You have no right to see it.”

I try to get my computer back, but May Wilson stops me and I can only watch Nicole Snow open my computer.

I really regret why I didn't set a password for my computer and why I put folders on the desktop. Nicole Snow opens the folder and checks.

My heart lifts, like being sent to the execution ground.

But Nicole Snow frowns.

Somehow, I feel strange.

May Wilson might have noticed. She walks up and looks at the screen with Nicole Snow, then she yells at me, “What's wrong with you, Jane Noyes? Is it fun to lie when you’ve already finished the work but pretending not do it yet?”

I go over and push them away. She is right. I really see the refined drawings on my computer.

All drawings are done.
