By now, Hanni, Lulu, and Suzette looked as if they thought that maybe three princesses might have been okay, after all. But thirteen?

Unconcerned, Bella doodled in her notebook. She glanced at Alfie, holding up two fingers—like bunny ears.

Trying to ignore her, Alfie’s mind raced as she imagined the perfect princess gown. Something shiny, she thought—and long, with sparkles.

“What if I want to be something else, though, Mr. Havens?” Arletty asked. “Like Dragon Girl?”

“Or a mermaid?” Phoebe said, almost squeaking out the words.

“You don’t have to be a princess,” Mr. Havens assured her—and everyone. “Does she, Alfie? Any girl here can be anything she wants on Friday,” he said, obviously eager to wrap things up. “Within the school dress code and the bounds of good taste, of course,” he added. “You girls will change into your costumes after lunch in the girls’ room. And away you’ll go.”

The only part of the dress code that Alfie could remember was “No flip-flops.” But princesses, Dragon Girls, mermaids, and bunnies didn’t wear flip-flops, so that should be okay.

“And no more squabbling, either,” Mr. Havens warned. “Or we can call the whole thing off for all you girls. The parade, the party, the works.”

The girls gasped. Could he do that?

Probably, knowing him, Alfie thought.

“So, I’d like you to tidy your desks now,” Mr. Havens was saying. “And clean up every last crumb, as I said before. I do not want to receive a note from the custodian. After that, you girls should still have time to go to the restroom and wash up before we get going with our ‘Odd and Even Numbers’ lesson plan.”

The girls got stiffly to their feet, as if they hadn’t walked in a very long time.

“Thanks a lot, Alfie,” Suzette muttered on the way out the door.

“Yeah, Alfie,” Lulu chimed in. “Thanks a lot.”

“You’re welcome a lot,” Alfie said, her heart pounding.

It had been a very good idea, she thought, trying to convince herself.

A very good idea.
