Extra Credit

SMACKMy sneakers squeaked loudly against the floor, as I scrambled to catch my balance in the middle aisle.Muffled whispers erupted from the back row."Get up there Chloe!" Sarah hissed from the corner, barely containing her excitement."I just know it! Mr. Vance is going to drop a pop quiz," Leo whispered from the row ahead, "Just convince him to postpone it.""Work your magic!"
