"That's why I made it like I did. None of you would know most of what I as saying." She started thinking, but how did he know? I've got to know. "I'm sorry guys, I've gotta go study and then baby-sit Peanut tonight." She waved goodbye and ran out the door. If she was lucky, she'd be able to get out before the cameras came on.
