too.
    Lamis said that a schooler can stay in the present color tone. Now I understand her mysterious statement. The barbaric teens killing each other inside the pink color tone probably aren’t interested in racing to the gold like me and Buffo. I giggle then view him. He waves at me through the pink shielding.
    I hear the me-chee host echo inside the shielding of my me-chee chair.
    The me-chee says for all the me-chee chairs. “Welcome back to the Cubby Hole, teens! I hoped you had enjoyed your fun in the sun. There is more fun to have inside the rest of the color tones. Sit back and relax! Close your eyelids! I will present the next series of academic questions for your individual answers. The time limit is still ten seconds for each posed question. To remind each schooler again for clarity of a proper verbal response, please state my answer is…then your vocal response. If you answer three-fourths or more of the academic questions correctly, you will advance to the next color of yellow. If you answer one-fourth or less, you will remain stationary inside the color tone of pink. If you incorrectly answer two-fourths of the academic questions, then you will slip back into the color of silver. The first question, what is the color tone of the me-chee inside the Cubby Hole, presently?”
    I close my eyelashes having ten seconds to answer the question correctly or be penalized with an incorrect response. I exhale and inhale shaking my arms and legs from the intense moment of seeing the upsetting teen violence plus the fierce competition with my nemesis Rincon. I giggle at the first silly question then smile, saying. “My answer is…yellow.”
    “What is the common tint color of the ocean waters?”
    “My answer is…blue.”
    “What is the product of positive 330 divided by positive 11?”
    “My answer is…positive 30.”
    “How many bones are in a single human hand?”
    “My answer is…27.”
    “What is the product of positive162 minus positive 73?”
    “My answer is…positive 89.”
    “Attached to the bones of the skeletal system are about 700 named muscles, what is the name of the human body’s functioning system?”
    “My answer is…the muscular system.”
    The thought me-chee asks. “The sum of the two roots of a quadratic equation is positive five and their product is negative six. What is the equation?”
    I exhale calculating my answer properly inside my head before the ten second deadline then smile. “My answer is…x² - 5x - 6 = 0.”
    The thought me-chee asks. “What is the nitrogenous base that occurs in RNA but not in DNA?”
    I pause with thought working out the problem into my head then grin with happiness. “My answer is…uracil,” when I feel the heat. I blink open my eyelashes seeing my cat suit turn into the yellow color then I view Buffo.
    He lies inside his me-chee still lingering in the pretty color of pink. His eyelids are closed with his hands over his stomach like he is sleeping and relaxed.
    I giggle then drop into the dark hole again. The chair flings me towards the lighted tunnel, when I hold my breath for the quick windy trip. My chair lands along the side wall as I see my red face in the mirrored reflection. I giggle, scanning the room then frown with puzzlement. I see Rincon inside his me-chee chair, inhaling and exhaling from the scary ride. He beat me into the yellow room by answering all the questions before me. I am the second me-chee chair to land inside the new room.
    The fabric unwraps. I jump from the chair stomping towards him feeling both intrigue and annoyance. I say. “Did you answer all eight questions? Or did you answer only six to get the 75 percent for a meager passing score,” exhaling with a fighting fury.
    He chuckles sliding out of the chair, straightening his cat suit. He views Ketona grinning. “I answered all eight perfectly then dropped swiftly into the darkness before you, my darling,” he winks at her, nodding and saying. “I can see that we
