Kate was getting restless again. Her mother always said that little kids couldn't stand still for long periods of time. Even though at thirteen Kate thought she was all grown up, she still figured she was lumped into that little kid category. After all, she was only a second year.

Her turn had arrived again, though, and so with an excited expression and jump to her step, she picked up the die and rolled it. TEN. A big number! That was the first time she'd managed something besides a lonely little one or two! Maybe she could advance in the game, too, which would be good seeing as everybody else was waaaaay ahead of her.

Kate moved forward to space twenty-one. It was a blank space, but at least she was almost to the third row!
