## The story

White paper was suddenly boring. The real move was black construction paper and a pack of gel pens in metallic, glitter and neon. Notes became art, with bubble letters, swirls and tiny stars. Kids traded pen colors like gold, and the white gel pen was the rarest, most borrowed item in class.

## Fun fact

Gel pens that ran dry were shaken, scribbled and blown on for weeks, because nobody could accept losing the silver one.
