  • PLUCK - a shy, deep-feeling brotha, ripe ol' age a' Fifth Grade. If they're a sandwich, he's the gushy grape jelly. If they're a school field, he's the planetarium ceiling. If they're a hoodie, he's the heard on its sleeve.
  • TENACITY - a fiery Fifth Grader with a swagger and a side-smile. If they're a sandwich, he's the bread, the crunchy pb and the knife that cuts it on a diagonal. If they're a school field trip, he's the stolen fossil showed-off in the bus back seat. If they're a hoodie, he's the zipper.
