Chapter 10: Alec, Kai And Their Essays

            "Hey, I got my essay back!" Alec yelled to his family a month later. He plunked it down triumphantly on his desk in the bedroom and ran out to go announce his mark to his parents.

            "Your essay, Kai?" Laili asked, as Kai entered the kitchen. "You were supposed to have gotten it back today, weren't you?"

            "I did," Kai answered indifferently. "Got exactly what I thought I would."

            "Nothing." Kai answered.

            "You handed it in, didn't you?" Laili asked worriedly.
