"Happy last day of school, Cassie! I'll grant you any wish. As long as it's reasonable, of course," said Hugo, as we walked outside to head home. I laughed and said, "Maybe a magic carpet ride?" 

I am a huge Aladdin fan. I don't know why but I love the movie.

"No, no. I don't mean to gossip, I just thought you would like to know.." Colin looked so worried and frustrated, I couldn't help but listen.

"Okay, tell me. Quickly."
