Gummy Bears… by Grace Brown

A Peek at the Youth Writer’s Group

Tap, tap, tap the pencils go on the white with blue lined paper. Everybody’s eyes glued to their paper. Grace puts the eraser part of the pencil on her chin to think. All of a sudden you hear the end of a pencil drop and Mia picks it back up, upside down and erases the last word she          . Mia looks to her right and sees Grace’s dark purple folder being picked up. She dives into it with her eyes. Annika just realized that the character’s name she is using is on a poster on the wall diagonal from her. Everybody drops their pencils at the same time, and all of them say in a chorus “Done!”
