paper clip

Not because you flung paper clips at the substitute teacher again, but because your deskmate who has been missing since this morning went home thanks to head lice.

I hiss, then take a second to settle myself and carefully slide another paper clip into the lock.

In another she found a pencil, along with some paper clips, rubber bands, and a tube of strawberry-scented lip gloss.

When I tried to climb into the paper clip box, she stopped me with her finger.

For example, when you bend a paper clip which is made of aluminum, the movement of dislocations inside the paper clip accommodates the shape change.
