"Gooood Morning Vancouver! You're listening to LLED361 FM. It's another warm one out there today folks so get out there an enjoy it while you can. Traffic on the Lion's Gate is lookin terrible, but who's surprised? Don't forget folks, today is the day! One lucky Vancouverite will win two tickets to see Queen Bee herself at Roger's Arena, so stay tuned all day for your chance to win! Now here's a little diddy to make-"
You smack the radio off your bedside table. Today is the day. Your eyes fall on a poster tacked to the back of your door. Beyoncé looking fierce. It's one of many you have up around the room. You don't think 'obsessed' is the right word. But it's probably pretty close.
"I have to win," you think.
The door opens in a rush, Dad's face replaces Beyoncé's, "you're late, let's go."
[[Jump out of bed]]
[[Five more minutes]]
(set: $score to 0)
You jump out of bed and hit the ground running. Nothing could keep you in bed this morning. You're a little ball of excitment. Today is the day.
Hair, teeth, dressed and running for the door as mom stuffs a cereal bar in you hand. Dad is waiting with the car running. He raises his eyebrows.
"Shoes?"
You screech to a halt, look down at your toes wiggling on the pavement.
"Damn," you think.
[[Run back for your kicks]]
[[Who needs shoes?]]
"Five more minutes," you whine turning over. You come face to face with Queen Bee, another poster tacked to the wall. Today is the day.
You drag yourself out of bed. Hair, teeth, dressed and slouching towards the door as mom stuffs a cereal bar in your hand. Dad is waiting with the car running. He raises his eyebrows.
"Shoes?"
You stumble to a stop, look down at your toes wiggling on the pavement.
"Damn"
[[Run back for your kicks]]
[[Who needs shoes?]]
(set: $feet to 'shoes')
You run back for your kicks. Today is the day, but not the day to go bare-footed. Dad is practically out of the driveway by the time you get back and you have to run and jump into the moving vehicle so he doesn't leave you behind. You think Beyoncé would approve of your daring.
After your heart has stopped racing, you settle in and tentatively reach for the radio dial. Dad watches you out of his peripheral, he's not a Beyoncé kinda man, but he doesn't say anything and so you change the station to LLED361 FM.
"Today is the day Vancouver and now is the time! Get ready for your first Beyoncé question. Remember, text us your answers all day long for your chance to win those tickets!"
"I'm ready," you think.
"In 2002, Beyonce and her then boyfriend Jay-Z released their song 'Bonnie and Clyde', which references the infamous couple Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. Bonnie and Clyde robbed banks in the central United States during the Great Depression, which took place in the 1930s. Although the international economy was one of the biggest causes of the Great Depression, another significant factor was..."

"Who needs shoes?" you think and hop in the car.
Dad shrugs and gets into the driver's seat. He's whipping out of the driveway before you've even got yourself settled but once he's on the road your tentatively reach for the radio dial. Dad watches you out of his peripheral, he's not a Beyoncé kind of man, but he doesn't say anything and so you change the station to LLED361 FM.

"Incorrect!" the station texts back almost immediately. You frown down at your phone. Thats okay, one or two wrong won't hurt your chances too much. Dad pulls into the unloading zone, you wave goodbye and run up the front steps of the school. You know you'll get 'em next time.
Except, there might not be a next time. The Vice-Principal is standing in the lobby, 'welcoming' all the late commers. She glares at you, and you feel the iciness of her stare follow. You remember Medusa as your try not to make eye contact.
{(if: $feet is 'shoes')["You're late!"]
(else-if: $feet is 'bare')["You're late and where are your shoes!?"]}
You scurry along before she can give you a detention. Today is not the day for detention. You run up the stairs and make it to socials just as your teacher is welcoming the class. You give an apologetic look and slide into your seat.
You remember that today is a work period and that during work periods Mrs. Diehl let's the class listen to the radio. Thankfully Mrs. D tunes the radio to LLED361 FM.
You also remember that Mrs. D is by no means a fan of cell phones in her class. But you know this is the only way to text the station your answers and your only way to win those tickets.

You sneak you phone out of your pocket cautiously. You look around and Mrs. D is occupied helping another student with their assignment, this is the perfect moment.
"In 2016, Beyonce performed her song “Formation” at the 50th Super Bowl half time show. In this performance, she referenced several controversial issues that connect to the Black Lives Matter movement.

You sneak your phone back into your pocket before you get in trouble. It was totally worth the risk.
Before you know what hit you, the class is over and you're packing up and heading to the next.
Art class is next on your agenda, but you know Ms. Moore dosen't mind if you're a little late. Your stomach rumbles, you know you have snacks in your locker, but you're not sure it's worth missing class for.

You make a quick pitstop at your locker to grab a snack. You try and be quick but you get to talk with a few nearby friends and when the bells goes your left stuffing your face and running for the art room.

You rush into the art room happy to be rid of the VP. Ms. Moore greets you with her usual caring smile. You ask her polietly if the class might listen to LLED361 FM today while you complete your portraits. She's a Beyoncé fan herself, she happily puts the radio on while the class works.
Thankfully, you're just in time for the next question.
