I possibly stay on top of all my classes Blossom zipped into the store and straight to the shiny red backpack She pulled it from its display case and tried it on As soon as the straps hit her shoulders a huge grin spread across her face and she flew around the store in ecstasy Just imagine how great it would be to own this she thought to herself 5
