Quiz Queens — page 5 — K L Denman I sigh Yeah but look what it took to get that Three times doing the quiz and changing your answers until you got the fairy you wanted Just like the (cid:71)(cid:82)(cid:74)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:81)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:69)(cid:72)(cid:73)(cid:82)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:68)(cid:87)(cid:17)(cid:3)(cid:60)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:3)(cid:192)(cid:76)(cid:83)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:71)(cid:3)(cid:90)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:3) it said you were a golden retriever because you wanted to be a poodle Or the Disney Princess one that said you’re Cinderella and then Snow White before you got Jasmine Kiara shrugs So You know how they work It’s multiple choice Some times it’s hard to decide which answer to pick Let’s say there’s a picture of a grassy meadow a beach and a full moon I can’t choose which one I like best if I like all of them But I argue aren’t you supposed (cid:87)(cid:82)(cid:3)(cid:74)(cid:82)(cid:3)(cid:90)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:75)(cid:3)(cid:92)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:3)(cid:191)(cid:85)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:86)(cid:87)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:70)(cid:87)(cid:34)(cid:180)(cid:3)(cid:44)(cid:3)(cid:70)(cid:68)(cid:81)(cid:182)(cid:87)(cid:3) believe I say that I’m not big on following instincts Yes Kiara nods But it doesn’t always work 4

Quiz Queens — page 6 — Quiz Queens Because I say they don’t work They’re garbage She frowns and smooths the cover on her bed It’s pale purple with big (cid:90)(cid:75)(cid:76)(cid:87)(cid:72)(cid:3) (cid:192)(cid:82)(cid:90)(cid:72)(cid:85)(cid:86)(cid:17)(cid:3) (cid:179)(cid:55)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:92)(cid:3) (cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:182)(cid:87)(cid:3) (cid:74)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:69)(cid:68)(cid:74)(cid:72)(cid:17)(cid:3) They help me get to know myself It’s like Ms Kalkat says Fourteen is an (cid:68)(cid:74)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:90)(cid:75)(cid:72)(cid:81)(cid:3)(cid:83)(cid:72)(cid:82)(cid:83)(cid:79)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:68)(cid:85)(cid:72)(cid:3)(cid:191)(cid:74)(cid:88)(cid:85)(cid:76)(cid:81)(cid:74)(cid:3)(cid:82)(cid:88)(cid:87)(cid:3)(cid:90)(cid:75)(cid:82)(cid:3) they are Ms Kalkat is our teacher for Career and Personal Planning class We’ve been learning about personal growth Thanks to Sherry my mother or no thanks to her I feel done with personal growth already So Kiara throws me a defiant look I’m going to do the spirit-totem quiz over and I’ll prove it Have you even read what it says about the coyote spirit totem I ask No I narrow my eyes Then how do you know it’s wrong 5

Quiz Queens — page 7 — K L Denman Fine I’ll read it She picks up her tablet and starts reading aloud Coyote spirit messages may appear as jokes to remind you not to take things too seriously Hmm I murmur What else She keeps reading Its ways are indirect but the coyote is a teacher with a sense of humor and hidden wisdom Coyote wisdom reveals the truth behind illusion Don’t be tricked by appear ances She snorts at this As if I would be That actually sounds pretty cool You think Kiara is doubtful I’d still feel better with a deer animal spirit Deer are beautiful I like the part about revealing the truth behind illusion I should tell her why I like it I’d like her to see that all the so-called truth in these quizzes is an illusion But I’m tired of arguing about it 6

Quiz Queens — page 8 — Quiz Queens And look at this Kiara says Coyote wisdom often uses trickery to deliver its message That’s interesting Coyote wisdom is interesting Trickery to deliver a message I’ve got to remember that Maybe I could use it to cure Kiara’s quiz craziness In a way trickery is what I’ve got planned for Sherry Did I tell you about the real quiz I found online Real quiz Kiara squints suspi ciously You mean something boring like a math quiz No Actually it’s not a quiz It’s a questionnaire She rolls her eyes Let me explain Sherry’s boyfriend dumped her like they all do So she’s a mess Again It doesn’t make sense She keeps falling for the same type of guy over and over It’s insane Kiara nods sympathetically Your mom is She doesn’t finish her 7
