"--Right, uh, there's this thing called the social emotional chart, that I learned in school." In detention. But details. "There's four zones--blue, green, yellow, red. The blue zone is like... tired, sad, sick, things that make you feel low. Like you have no energy, I guess."
She pulls herself up onto the nearest folding table to let her feet dangle. "The green zone is steady, willing to learn, in a good headspace, right. Yellow is things like worry, anxiety, confusion, stuff that riles you up a little. The red zone is where you completely lose it, basically. And the point of learning the chart is to help figure out what to do in each zone."
