He saw kids over at the school store trading quarters for neon pens and sparkly pencils, and for the little decorations like rubber soccer balls and plastic butterflies to stick onto the ends of those new pencils....

Because young Greg Kenton had decided that school would be an excellent place to make his fortune. |
