“The second I saw Bailey sit down and flip her super long hair over her shoulder, I knew it,” commented seventh grader Andrea Beemer, nodding smugly as Bailey flipped to a new page in her sketchbook and started outlining the horse’s body. “Of course she’s gonna spend all of class drawing a horse.”

“And of course it’s gonna be super realistic,” Beemer continued, taking notes on the Pythagorean Theorem while Bailey carefully smudged the shading on the horse’s fur with her fingers. “She’s a horse girl through and through, even down to her waist-length hair!”

“I bet Bailey’s even gonna name that horse Windsong or something,” said Beemer as Bailey finished drawing the horse’s eyelashes and shook out her long hair triumphantly. “Another day, another photorealistic horse drawing by Bailey.”

At press time, the boy wearing shorts in January was definitely gonna take dodgeball so seriously.
