Andrea was busy campaigning to become next year's class president. As part of her campaign, she had volunteered to be on the events committee for the school dance. Andrea's job was to help with the decorations.

When Andrea's mom poked her head around Andrea's bedroom door, she found her daughter surrounded by colored paper, tissue, and posters. Andrea was deep in concentration.

"Your cousin is coming to town on Friday," said Andrea's mom. "I told Aunt May you would be able to show her around, is that OK?"

"Sure, Mom," Andrea said, although she wasn't really listening. She was too busy figuring out how to attach a papier-mache dinosaur to a beam in the school gym.

On Friday, Andrea's mom told Andrea that she was going to pick her cousin up from the station.

"Don't forget you are in charge of keeping her busy tonight," Andrea's mom called as she left. Andrea's hand flew to her mouth in horror. The school dance was tonight! What was she going to do? She had promised her mom she would take care of her cousin, but there was no way she could miss the dance.

Suddenly, Andrea had a brainwave. She would bring her cousin to the school dance and introduce her to all her classmates. That way, her cousin would have fun, and Andrea would be able to help the committee. Andrea smiled and put the finishing touches to her papier-mache dinosaur.
