By running faster than the speed of light (well, that's what it felt like to Serena), Serena managed to get to school before the second bell rang. She fell into her seat, exhausted.

“Hey, Serena.” Molly hopped up to sit on Serena's desk. She patted Serena's head, lying on the desktop. “Good job. You made it without being late for once.”

Serena was panting so hard she could hardly talk. “I think… I'm… going… to die.”

Molly rolled her eyes. “You can't run yourself to death at age fourteen, Serena.”

“Molly…” Serena weakly took Molly's hand. “Tell… my family… I love them.”

Just then, Miss Haruna walked into the room. Molly went back to her desk.

“Good morning, class,” Miss Haruna called as she put down her bag. “How is everyone today?”

No answer. Ms. Haruna looked around the classroom, surprised. “Class? Why are you so quiet?”

Serena, surprised, looked around at her classmates. She gasped.

Nearly everyone had a Shaneera. Kim Matthews had hers on her desk and stared into its eyes. Lisa Brownridge did the same with her own Shaneera. Even Rica Kelton, even Tim House — it seemed that everyone except Serena and Molly was staring at a Shaneera.

Well, except for Melvin. He was in the back staring at a nerdy computer book, just like he did every day.

“Molly…” Serena leaned over towards her best friend. “What's with all the Shaneeras?”

Molly shrugged. “They're a big hit now,” she whispered back. “I don't get it personally. I think they're ugly.”

Serena looked around. “It's like everyone's been brainwashed with them,” she whispered. “Don't you think that's weird?”

Molly yawned. “Not really. Last year, it was Tamagotchis, then it was Furbies. Now it's Shaneeras.”

Serena clasped her hands together. She wasn't buying it. Tamagotchis and Furbies were just toys that entertained people until they got annoyed. These Shaneeras were in a totally different league. Everyone who had a Shaneers didn't seem either entertained or annoyed — just hypnotized. Something was suspicious about this Shaneera thing

Ms. Haruna crossed her arms. “All right, I want everyone to put those weird pets away,” she barked. “I've heard about them from the administration at Crossroads Elementary. They're too distracting to have in class.”

Nobody moved. Miss Haruna stomped over to Kim's desk and hovered over the girl. “Kim, didn't you hear me say put it away?”

Kim didn't look up from staring at the Shaneera. Miss Haruna's face grew red with anger. She reached for the Shaneera. Kim suddenly jumped up and grabbed the creature away from Miss Haruna's hold. “Don't touch it!” Kim screamed, backing away. “Get your hands off my Shaneera.”

Serena's jaw dropped. Kim was always such the model student. She would never yell at a teacher like that.

“Wh… wh…” Miss Haruna' face reddened beyond tomato crimson. “Young lady, you better turn that attitude around immediately.”

Kim ignored Miss Haruna and walked out the door with her pet. All the other students picked up their own Shaneeras and followed her out the classroom door.

“Wait,” Miss Haruna cried, running after them. “Where do you think you're going?
