we have to read it , you know , in class . 'find a better one in about ten minutes . everyone seemed overjoyed that it might be a white christmas . she covered her chest with her hands , but he grabbed her arms and put them around his neck . again and again the object slammed into her back , until she was long past caring what it actually was that was hitting her . he jumped up and pulled me up with him . how long were they going to leave me in here ?
