Chapter 5 prediction

       I think Cassie will go up to Mr. Barnett and say, "Um, Mr. Barnett, I think u forgot about T.J.'s list."
  
     "Well actually I didn't, you see I have to help them white people before I help you fellas."
  
     "Well I don't think that is fair." 

     "Well that's just the way it is and your just going to like it."

     And then Cassie gets in big trouble and has to suffer severe consequences, and hurts her bad.
