Amelia had managed to read through the assignment twice, being a quick reader. The unfortunate thing was that she was not able to absorb it all the first time. If she wanted to stay ahead she would have to work harder or, something she would depise doing, get help from Mr. Dark. She felt a wave of disdain go through her at what her own parents would think of after that, of her and the teacher. She brought the book up to him with everyone else and retook her seat as she waited to hear the game. Of course, she also had guessed he would pick her first. No problem.
"Well, the obvious answer to that would be the Platypus, but I am going to go with the less known Echidna." She smiled.
(I actually looked it up so I believe it to be correct XD )
