makes a shocking Discovery we're joined by a new student this semester Miss Evans told her class will everyone please give a warm welcome to kitty kitty shrank in her seat as the class greeted her the young girl's obvious discomfort worsened when some students asked where she came from and why she was there Miss Evans knew the sad story that forced the girl to join their school in the middle of the Year her heart had eight when she looked at little Kitty's transfer papers she quickly distracted the other students I'm sure we'll all get to know Kitty better over time right now however it's time for math the class took out their workbooks with a grown Kitty remained very quiet she kept her head down so her dark hair hit her face Miss Evans crouched down beside her desk hi Kitty she said I just want to let you know that I'm always available if you need to talk changing schools is hard but I'm sure you'll get settled in soon Kitty glanced at her and Miss Evans glipsed her sad brown eyes poor child had been through so much thank you Miss Kitty whispered Miss Evans placed a hand on the girl's shoulder and continued with the class at the end of the day she waited outside with Kitty to meet her father a Burly man soon approached them hi Kitty he said did you have a good day at school Kitty nodded and left Miss Evan's side to join the man you must be Kitty's dad Miss Evans offered her hand to shake I'm her teacher Miss Evans nice to meet you Miss I'm Steve Kitty's dad smiled and shook her hand he then turned to Kitty why don't you go wait in the car sweetie I'm sure you'd like to put that heavy backpack down and I want a minute to talk to Miss Evans Kitty gave her dad a strange look but she ran off to an old pickup nearby kitties had it rough the past few months Steve said I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on her I noted that the reason she transferred here is because her mom passed away recently Miss Evans studied him how's she been adjusting some days are better than others I didn't see her and Shauna as often as I wanted to since I moved up here for work Steve Shrugged I reckon things will go better once we're used to each other again I'm sure they will miss Evan smiled and don't worry I'll do everything I can to help Kitty settle in she earned good grades at her previous school and I look forward to seeing her get back on track Miss Evans was true to her word she she kept a close eye on Kitty over the next few weeks and what she noticed concerned her a girl often wore the same clothes to school the clubs were usually Dusty and stained Kitty was quiet in class too on the playground she sat by herself and ignored the other kids if they tried to involve her in their games Miss Evans tried to coax her out of her shell but the girl remained withdrawn until the day she begged Miss Evans for help the class had just ended all the other students chatted loudly as they filed from the room but Kitty came over to miss Evan's desk she stood there with her head down and her arms tightly crossed is everything okay kitty Miss Evans asked the girl shook her head she mumbled a few words that Miss Evans couldn't make out speak up sweetie I can't hear you I don't want to leave school Kitty shouted she lifted her head and stared at Miss Evans with tearful eyes I don't want to go with my dad please can I live with you instead Miss Evan's heart broke at the desperation in Kitty's voice she moved closer to the girl and put a hand on her shoulder why don't you want to go home with your dad Kitty is something wrong Kitty hugged herself and looked away I don't like living with my dad I don't want to stay with him anymore oh sweetie I know it must be tough getting used to a new town and a new school you've been through so much and I'm sure you missed the life you used to have I miss my mom the little girl SOB I'd miss my room Kitty Steve appeared at the door blocking it with his muscular frame there you are I was worried when I didn't see you outside Kitty spun and backed away from her father I'm not going with you Steve's face crumpled come on Kitty don't be like that kitty's lip trembled tears trailed down her Dusty cheeks as she looked at her dad you know I'm trying real hard to be a good dad don't you Steve crouched down in front of his daughter times are tough now but everything will turn around someday you'll see Steve held his hand out to Kitty after a long moment Kitty dried her eyes and shuffled toward him Miss Evans wasn't sure what to make of this situation Kitty was clearly unhappy living with her dad but how much of that was due to her grief she suspected there was something more going on let's all walk out together Miss Evans stood and offered Kitty her hand when they reached the parking lot Kitty pulled free of the adults and ran ahead to her dad's pickup I'm sorry about all that Miss Evans Steve said Kitty's been real stressed lately and she isn't handling it well I've noticed she sometimes comes to school in dirty clothes Miss Evan said is everything okay at home Steve's eyes widened and he rubbed at his beard yeah we've had some problems with the plumbing I swear I've reported it to the landlord but nobody's come to fix it yet I'm sorry to hear that she's also real fond of those outfits because her mom bought them for her she uh she doesn't like to change her clothes Steve added Steve stopped suddenly when they were a few yards away from his car I really appreciate you looking out for kitty but I think it's still going to be a while before she gets used to all the changes in her life Steve said goodbye to her then Miss Evans looked on as he climbed into his pickup the car growled and spat out an awful plume of smoke when he drove away despite Steve's reassurances Miss Evans continued to worry about Kitty she was no longer coming to school in dirty clothes but now she was often tardy for school and started skipping classes one day Miss Evans noted that kitty's face was pale and drawn she had dark circles under her eyes and barely seemed to manage to stay awake in class Miss Evans was starting to suspect something was very wrong with Kitty and decided that she would get to the bottom of it she gave the class some work to keep them busy and stepped out to call Steve hello hi Steve this is Kitty's teacher Miss Evans I'm calling because I've noticed that kitty often seems exhausted at school that's because we've had to stay up late to work on her homework Steve replied Iva been working late too that's why I can't help her with her homework earlier in the evening that work is much tougher than what I remember doing when I was her age well if Kitty is struggling so much then it might be better to get her a tutor I'll write down some numbers and give them to Kitty so she can pass them on to you thanks Miss Evans that's real kind of you later that day Miss Evans was about to lock up the classroom when she noticed the crumpled piece of paper on the floor near Kitty's desk she picked it up and found it was the note she given the girl with the math tutors numbers on it Miss Evans was confused why would Kitty throw the paper away if she had difficulty with school work she rushed to the window to see if the girl had left yet in the distance Steve and kitty were just exiting the school grounds they were on foot and Steve carried Kitty's backpack on his shoulder while holding the girl's hand Kitty had her head bowed Miss Evans shook her head something was terribly wrong with that girl and she would find out exactly what it was today Miss Evans rushed out to her car she was determined to follow Kitty and her father but they disappeared by the time she reached the street the next day Miss Evans was waiting when Steve arrived to pick up kitty they left on foot again and Miss Evans followed father and daughter walked several miles before they reached the old pickup Miss Evans remembered it was parked in an empty lot near the edge of town Steve opened the car and placed Kitty's backpack inside he then reached in and covered the windows once he finished Kitty climbed into the cab and Steve shut the door he went round to sit on the back of the truck Miss Evans didn't understand what was happening Kitty emerged soon afterward in different clothes she was carrying the clothes she worn to school in her arms Miss Evans watched as they walked to a nearby laundromat Miss Evans crossed the road and peeked through a gap between the old shirts covering the windows what she saw inside made her gasp in Surprise this couldn't continue any longer Miss Evans took her phone from her hand back and called the police Miss Evans what are you doing here the teacher turned and saw Kitty running toward her Steve was a few steps behind staring at her in shock I'm putting a stop to this the police arrives then they asked to look inside Steve's car and shook their heads at the folded piles of clothes pillows blankets and the teddy bear lying on the dash it was clear Steve and kitty were living in the pickup it's only temporary Steve turned from Miss Evans to the police as though he couldn't decide who to address I lost my job because I was injured at the factory but I'll get a new one soon then we won't be homeless anymore I don't mind it so much I swear Kitty cried my daddy brought my pillow and freckles my teddy so I can be happy and I am I promise the little girl grabbed a police officer by the hand please don't take my daddy away from me nobody wants to separate you and your dad honey the police officer said but we can't let you live like this it's going to start getting cold soon and you need a place to stay where you'll be warm and safe the police officer turned to Steve then I'm going to take you and your daughter to a shelter sir they'll help you get back on your feet and ensure both of you are taken care of Steve and kitty went to the shelter and Steve was later admitted to a rehabilitation center for his work injury meanwhile Miss Evans arranged a special meeting for parents at the school she explained Steve and Kitty's situation to them the school arranged a fundraiser for Steve and kitty they raised enough money to rent a modest apartment for Kitty and her dad and donated all the furniture and appliances they needed overtime Kitty transformed from a quiet and withdrawn child to a girl who was always smiling she became the top student in her class and went on to earn a full scholarship to college what can we learn from this story never be afraid to ask for help if Steve had the courage to ask for help sooner then a lot of sadness could have been avoided trust your gut instincts Miss Evans could have accepted Steve's excuses but instead she wisely chose to trust her suspicion that something more was going on
