Mad Science/Home Room Dragon (Alyssa)
From Create Your Own Story
You write 'dragon' on your slip of paper and set it out. Allison comes and takes it off your desk, smiling down at you as she does. It warms you inside.
Once she's done (even the guy who went to the washroom got to fill in a slip, though he wasn't told what to do), she leans over her desk and lays out the papers. After sorting them into piles, she makes the announcement.
"Well, we have eight dragons and eight wolves. I'll give you all a moment to think about it."
Some kids seem to be thinking, others are looking around the room. Finally Allison stands up.
"Okay, there are twenty-eight of you, so fifteen votes will win. Show of hands: Wolves?"
Thirteen hands go up immediately. You notice four kids doing the same thing you did, half-raising their hands and watching the room. One of those four is Barrie, who is clearly watching you.
