Katie stared down at the stony blue skinned boy standing in front of her desk, looking up at her with an audacious grin.

"Shouldn't you be in school? I can't help you, kid."

"Don't lie, miss," he said, his smile growing broader, "you [i]can[/i] read it, can't you? You're in this with me now whether you believe it or not." She rolled her eyes as he pushed the book onto her desk, unconvinced, and he went on. "Hang onto this book then... and I'll meet you after work and show you the truth."
