She tried not to laugh. Adults, even sensible roachy ones, all fell for whatever papers said. "Oh- it's true. You see boxes on paper. I see kids sneaking and putting stinky socks under mattresses so their box is not one they want to be in. Or-!" Kalos had a few more examples, but it suddenly felt like ratting her fellow kids out.

"I do not like school. Buuuuuuut school is impordant to be a well rounded mind and thinking- uh... for my self." That was almost sort-of how Becca said that right? Kalos would know by Gregory's reaction if she'd gotten it right enough to be off the hook from another 'school is not dumb' lecture.
