it.”
She went to her desk.
Emily sat down. She took a deep breath.
Ms. Rooney opened the box of cupcakes. “You're a good cook, Emily.”
Emily reached into her desk. One star was left.
She had to make another Valentine card.
One for Sherri Dent.
She took out a red crayon.
Here's a Valentine star.
She tried to think of a rhyme for
star.
She was sick of rhyming.
She stuck the star on top and wrote Guess Who on the bottom.
Then she went to the Valentine box. She stuffed the card in.
Sherri would love it.
Emily couldn't wait for Valentine's Day to begin.
She hoped she'd get a pile of cards.
