But he is a person who always "troubles trouble".He always argues with the teachers about his marks , and naturally it's the teachers who always win these arguments.James is often late for his classes because something always happens to him on the way to school.Once he missed his bus, the next time he feel asleep in the bus and missed his stop,then he was locked in the school cloakroom. He gets into trouble much more often than anybody else from the class,people say that he is out of luck. That is why I worry about him when he is out of the classroom.
