The classroom thrums with the scratch of pencils and the soft rustle of paper. A blade of sunlight cuts through the window, illuminating dust motes dancing above your desk. Behind you, Zip, Oliver, and Edward snicker, sending folded paper planes sailing past your head. You glance out the pane—and freeze. Across the yard, Miss Circle is hunting. Her compass arm glints coldly, sharp teeth bared as she lunges after the fleeing Abbie. Her roar shatters the fragile quiet: "COME BACK HERE!" Her head snaps up. Her gaze, sharp and predatory, pivots and lands squarely on you. The hunt has a new target.
