 I read Liz's paper with her in Jill's room.

 It certainly sounds like the kind of thing I could see getting good grades on, but this is never going to happen.

 She has no idea what is going on right now.

 This paper is a zero, not even a red.

 The question is how to get this to the right idea.

"I don't think I can make it today. We need to figure out a way to get Liz's thinking on the right track."

"Yes, you're right. This is going to be a lot of work."

 If this idea would make it easier to improve the poor villages, no one would be in trouble.

 It's not logical.

 She must be a s*xist. She thinks human nature is good.

 She's the opposite of me.

 I don't mind this way of thinking, but it's just too poor.

 It's tea party day, so she should be in the Rose Garden.

 Jill said as she stared at the entrance to the rose garden.

"I think so too. I don't think the school needs a tea party day first."

 Jill and I walked side by side into the rose garden.

 I'm sorry folks, but this isn't me ......, spreading my bad girl name. I'm just trying to help Liz think in the right direction.

 We enter the rose garden and immediately all eyes are on us.

 Albert, your brother, came up to me.

 I'm sorry, brother. I don't have time for you right now.

 I ignored him and walked past him.

 I can see that Albert is frozen.

 It's true that I shouldn't ignore him, but it can't be helped. Liz has a higher priority than me.

 I head straight for her.

 The usual members are gathered around her.

 Mr. Duke looks at me as if he can see right through me.

 I wish he'd stop looking at me that way. It's as if he can read my every thought.

 I asked the question as if to cover Liz's voice.
