“Oh, yeah?” The girl smirked, turning to Joyce. “It’s in my hand now. You want to draw?”

Joyce nodded hopefully. Yeah. Can I have it back!”

“This one?” The girl glanced at two nearby boys, then chucked the marker to them. “Catch it!”

“Got it” they cheered, starting to toss it around.

They laughed as they passed the marker back and forth.

“Don’t drop it!” a boy shouted.
