That Saturday, they went to a council meeting. Crystal had only been to two meetings. I sat with her. When it came time for new business to be addressed, Mr. Shoemaker went forward. "I have come to make a motion to relieve Ms. Crystal White from her teacher position at the reservation school?" Mr. Shoemaker said. Crystal and I were in shock. Will asked, "On what grounds do you think she should be relieved?" "She is Rakshasi " Mr. Shoemaker roared. The people gasped and mumbled. "What evidence of this, do you have?" I yelled. Can love conquer all?
