Across the room, Boo stared at him with huge round eyes.
His body slowly floated closer, hovering just above the floor.
"He is sleeping," Boo whispered dramatically.
Felix did not look up from his paper. "Yes."
"During math class," Boo added.
"Yes."
"In front of the principal."
Felix finally looked up. "Also yes."
Boo floated even closer to Drake, circling him carefully like he was studying a rare scientific specimen.
"This is dangerous behavior," Boo whispered. "Very dangerous. Sleeping in the presence of authority."
Rocky looked worried. "Is he in trouble? Will he get punished?"
Felix shook his head calmly. "No. He asked permission. That is different."
Boo floated back toward his own desk and leaned toward Luna.
"He asked permission," Boo whispered with deep seriousness. "That was strategic. Very strategic. He planned this."
Luna glanced at Drake, who was now sleeping peacefully with one wing slightly spread across the desk.
