Miss Azinger franticly adds more notes into her notebook, looking up
every few seconds to check on the three. The commotion has caught the 
eye of several classmates. They nudge the person next to them and soon 
the whole class is watching Betty, Bobby, and Barry. 

For the first time this year, Bobby sits quietly in his chair. He
watches every move Barry and Betty make. Barry moves his hand toward 
Betty as he talks to her. When his hand is almost next to hers, she 
pushes it away, stands, and quickly moves beside the window. 

Barry and Bobby join Betty beside the window. Barry looks upset, but
Bobby moves closer to Betty and she lets him pet the frog.  Bobby opens 
the window and Barry quickly closes it and gives Bobby a firmly push 
away.  Bobby raises his fists, but Betty quickly steps between them.  
With tears pouring down her cheeks, she hands the frog to Barry. 

Bobby holds Betty in his arms while Barry takes the frog back to the
table and puts the frog into the jar. For the first time he notices the 
class starting at him. He hesitates a moment, then takes the frog out 
of the jar and walks to the window.  With one last look at the frog, he 
opens the window, and throws the frog outside. Silently he walks back 
to the table, picks up a pencil, and puts a big bold F on their lab 
paper. 

Betty gives him a big hug, Bobby shakes his hand, and together the three
take the paper to Miss Azinger.
