"first of all geneva you are going to have to take your braids down, since the color in your braids are half blue you will have to take them down" said principal lewis "what!!" said geneva" but all of the other girls have colors in their hair why cant i have any in mine?" geneva said " the colors in the other girls hair are natural colors, you never see anyone waking up with cobalt blue hair that is natural do you?" principal lewis paused for a moment and then began to speak again "second of all i looked at your files and i see that all of your time in school you have exceeded your students in academics so i would like to offer you the gradlap test" Geneva knew that the gradlap was a test that students who retained a grade took to be skipped up but she also knew that students who were great in acedemics could take it also to be skipped up to a higher grade" "Ms. lewis i truly don't know what i want to do right now, i mean im________" "youre still getting ajusted t the new way of school here and youre not ready to make those type of decisions yet" principal lewis said while abruptly cutting her off.
