Chalk Girl

You run up the long staircase, Ellerie’s mom right on your heels. You panick and slide into Ellerie’s room. You barely have a moment to catch your breath when she comes shuffling in behind you. You panick, and see a small piece of chalk that came off your purse. What do you do with this peace of chalk? Do you draw a circle or clutch it in your hands and ponder what to do.
