They were carrying trays of milk.

“Here come the kindergarten snack monitors,” Richard said.

Emily banged on the door.

The kindergarten kids looked at her.

One of them nearly dropped the tray.

They hurried past.

Emily shivered again.

“Maybe we should run to the front door,” Richard said.

Just then someone else walked down the hall.

“I think it's a fifth grader,” Emily said. She banged on the window.

“Hey,” Richard said. “It's my sister, Holly.”

Holly looked out. “Richard Best,” she said. “Are you crazy?”

“Open the door, dummy,” said Richard. “We're freezing to death out here.”

Holly pushed the door open.

Emily and Richard scrambled in.

“Whew,” Emily said. “My fingers are like icicles.”

“If Mommy knew you were outside in the snow without your boots … ” Holly said. She shook her head and started down the hall again.

Emily and Beast looked at each other.

“That was a close one,” Emily said.

“We'd better get back to the classroom,” Richard said.

Emily looked up.

Sherri Dent was coming down the hall toward the girls’ room. She was staring at them.

Emily looked at Beast. “Come on,” she said.

She didn't look at Sherri when they passed her.

They ducked into the classroom.

“Did she see us outside?” Emily asked.

“I don't know,” Richard said. “Maybe.”

Emily sat down in her seat.

She was still freezing. Herleet were soaked.

She pulled her sweat suit sleeves down over her hands a little.

She pulled out her notebook.

Something fell out of her desk.

It was Sherris note. YOU'LL BE SORRY.

Emily shivered a little. Suppose Sherri knew?

She began to make math sticks again.
