Miller the killer. “Ms. Rooney is side today,” said Mrs. Miller. “She'll be back tomorrow.” “Yucks,” Emily whispered to Beast. She sat down at her desk. It was going to be a horrible day.

Sherri ducked her head. “I slept late,” she said. Good, Emily thought. She had a mean feeling in her chest. “Is everybody: here?”
