Noelles brain was filled with Alice in Wonderland now. She was picturing each of the students as different characters. Dalton could be the butterfly. Olly was here, he could be the white rabbit. Oh! Big sister Hady! She could could definitely be the white queen. Sam... She could be that brave little mouse.

The white rose didn't seem so important now. Now that Noelle was looking around at the others. They were playing with the roses, touching them and making them white. Her one little rose didn't seem to matter anymore.

Oh! Sam was talking to her. Noelle nodded at the girl. "Oh yeah, I thought that I'd get in trouble for turning this rose white but..." She glanced around the classroom. "Its not such a big deal." In fact.... Poke. Poke. Poke. Noelle made more roses then colors. Alice in wonderland filling her head again.

There was a rose in her face. Sabbie was bent and being ridiculous. But it was very cute. Noelle laughed and shook her head at him, but did take the rose. Sniffing it, she patted the seat beside her. "Sam, this is Sabbie. Sabbie, this is Sam." Now that introductions were made, Noelle leaned over and pecked Sabbie on the cheek. "Thank you for your ridiculous gesture. It made me laugh." And she needed to laugh.

Oh! Hey, there was Randi. The girl she met in the courtyard. She gave her a little wave.

Now she was ready for class to begin.
