Today's story started a week ago.
A week ago, on Wednesday, Sarah's Animation and Film teacher tod the students to divide up into groups to do project. They were to make a 1 minute trailer for a film.
Sarah got into group with two guys and they started brainstorming.
On Thursday, the JDwannaBe came to class, he had been absent, Wednesday,and he eagerly joined the group sarah was in.
At the next free moment, Sarah sidled up to the teacher and asked if she could change groups.
This was not work on a trailer for a cartoon or a comedy or a romance, this was work on a trailer for a horror film, with the guy who wants to grow up and become the next Jeffrey Dahmer.
The teacher asked her why she wanted to switch groups. She explain that this guy had just joined the one she was in. The teacher winced and gave her his approval.
So, on Wednesday she worked with the new group.
On Wednesday, last week, which was her last day at school that week, due to her being absent for Jewish holidays on Thursday and Friday, she was working with group number two, and one of the kids from group number one came up and asked if she was going to help them with the editing. That group was diving up the work. Sarah figured that she was faster and better at editing than the other kids in the group and that it would not involve interacting with JDWB, so she said, "Okay."
So, now she was working in both groups.
Today, she went back to school and, as it turned out, the first grow didn't manage to get anything videotaped, last week, on Thursday or Friday, so one of the normal guys asked sarah if she would do a couple of things in front of the camera. Apparently, they hadn't figured out that she was actually working with the other group she was sitting with.
Sarah realized they really needed the help and went and worked with them. Then she came back and worked with the second group. Also on camera.
I have always wanted to have twins. Well, not twin Elys....I would have pulled all of my hair out and wasted away from lack of sleep, but twins of any of the others. And now I have them, sort of. Sarah has decided to be two people. Sarah of group one and Sarah of group two.
But, now she will actually be on the trailers for both groups.
She is worried that when the class views them, the kids in group one will see her in the trailer for group two and the kids from group two will see her in the trailer for group one, and she will get in trouble.
And the teacher will not like it,
and.....
although, no one can say she is lazy.

IMO - it would be really pathetic if the teacher were to get upset with Sarah for being in two groups, especially if kids in the group 1 can not catch the clue that she is no longer part of that group. If anything, Sarah should be commended for her efforts, commended for not turning away people in need of assistance. School is just as much about teaching us life lessons as it is academics... she his actively demonstrating one of the best life lessons of all... helping those in need, even if it means you may get in trouble be the short-sighted. Sarah get an A+ in my book!
