A girl said, “No, Amelia Earhart was a real person. I saw a special on her on the History Channel…”
Everyone was looking at her; she dropped her eyes to her desk, her face on fire and her mind swimming. How could Amelia Earhart be a real person?
We don't know that the teacher didn't point out that lots of novels are written about real people. Kara clearly was no longer listening at that point.
