Seven thirty in the morning-- seven thirty. What was I doing there? No matter how much I enjoyed Certamen, nothing was worth getting up at six on a Saturday and being here at Leon High School at seven thirty in the morning. Nothing. "I'm sleeping on the bus," I shamelessly announced. "No, you're not," Mr. Bebergal said, resolute. Besides, Dallas, I was the only one who could challenge him when he wore that look. "Yes. I am.
