Class ended on a low note. Mr. Addison wouldn't look at them when the bell rang, and most kids seemed relieved to be let go silently. Only Danielle stayed after everyone else left, and only she stayed when the Headmaster appeared at the door.
(...This had nothing to do with sneezing. Oops. Take two!)
Melanie let the kite soar above the trees for an hour before she dragged it down again. She began to coil the string around her fist when she heard an unusual sneeze. Above her, a small voice said, "Pardon me."
(That's more like it. Stay with me, brain.)
