Kemma was trying again, this time from the aisle. She even managed to transform Caterpillar #2 back to its original state, but it didn't matter. This caterpillar's life was obviously in serious peril, as were the rest of them. Save the ones you can. . . Waiting for Kemma to finish, Tag gave her a meaningful look, then leaned over and snatched the green critter from its desk-prison. The martyr two has been spared, I repeat! Martyr two has been spared!
At any other time Kemma would've been upset with Tag snatching her schoolwork off her desk mid-class. However, given recent events, she instead felt grateful for this episode of caterpillar-napping. She just couldn't take having to do anything more to the poor creature today. What if she accidently set it on fire or exploded it or zapped it out of existence?

Nonetheless, Kemma felt utterly humiliated. Somehow Tag always managed to be johnny-on-the-spot the moment she made an idiot of herself. And then he was always so nice about...well, not nice maybe, but certainly helpful and not mocking. Kemma was finding that it puts a real crimp on one's stated position of contemptous disdain if the person the disdain is directed at is always rescuing you or solving your most distressing problems. At this rate, she would have to rethink her strict "boys are idiots" stance.
