Tired and frustrated, Lily returned to her room determined to stick it to both her nighttime wardens and the stale daytime sentry who patrolled her school. With great gusto, Lily accented the plaid skirt she is forced to wear every day with slick black strips of duct tape, and, concluding that she had accomplished her goal with great flair and even greater bravery...
