Instructed to make a color wheel, Ruby completes the assignment by making one just like the art teacher's. This, Ruby believes, is what she's "supposed to do." But then she begins to wonder: "What if there is no such thing as 'supposed to'?" Ruby begins to ponder her role as "the good girl" in a story by turns thought-provoking, humorous, and poignant.
