Queen Greta

Queen Barb came down with a sore throat, so she was looking for a “substitute Queen,” as Gordan had suggested. He tried Corey Caster the strong sixth grader who would be a king substituting for her, but Corey is too strong. Gordan tried Margaret who is the smartest fourth grader, but Margaret is too smart. Then Queen Barb picked Greta, since knowledge was power. Greta was feeling unsure, but her friends were supportive of her.

Later that day, Barb coronated Greta as Substitute Queen before her father came to pick her up. At first, Greta was a fair ruler, making only one mistake where she picked the wrong owner of an action figure, but soon the power went to her head. She began giving the students difficult assignments, even those that weren’t taught until middle school. “It’s easy,” she took to saying whenever a student asked about them and said “I’m NOT smart,” whenever they challenged her.

Soon, her friends had enough and led a revolt, but then Queen Barb came back, feeling well again. After she became Queen again, Rigelli confronted Greta, but her friends agreed that “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” But then, Gordan came to Rigelli, telling her about her being Lord Sultan of the East playground, which excited her.

The End.
