Trixie went to to put up her hand but an older student beat her in saying the exact same thing that she was going to say. "I agree with her." (Kaycee) She pointed at the older girl. "They don't like when we do their work for them. Maybe we could make them something. Like that girl said." She pointed her finger at (Dora) the second year.
