Chapter One

Mitchie walked into her workshop class for the first day of school, expecting to hear the rules of the tools, and nothing more, but saw various pieces of wood spread across tables with all sorts of dangerous looking tools.

She looked up at the blackboard, and saw a diagram on a birdhouse. So we're making birdhouses? Awesome, she thought.

The instructor began to speak. "My name is Mr. Martin. I will be your workshop teacher. I will hand out a packet to each of you with specific rules for each of the tools. Any time you use a tool, remember to check in there."

All the students nodded, only half paying attention. "Today, we will beginning with making birdhouses. They are easy, and should only take one class period. If any of you are not done, you will come back after school and finish. Am I understood?"

The class groaned as they set to work. Mitchie began cutting pieces of wood, nailing them together, and checking the rulebook every so often.

She drilled one last hole for the birds to be able to poke their heads into. "Done. Good," she said to herself, but she remembered one last thing.

"Mr. Martin, do you have any paints?" she asked her teacher with a hopeful grin.

"Yes, of course. Part of workshop is being able to decorate your creations. Here." He handed Mitchie a few colors of paint that he pulled out of a cupboard.

She colored the birdhouse red and blue, and made one last touch.

To Jason, She wrote at the top.

Mitchie stuffed the birdhouse into a brown box, and wrote a letter that she could send with it.

Shane-- I really miss you. We've got to get together sometime.

Here is a little something that I thought Jason might appreciate., please give it to him. I made it in workshop, and I got an A, so I really hope he likes it!

Forever yours,

Mitchie

Mitchie brought the box into the UPS store and asked to ship it. When she left the building, she had a strange feeling of happiness in her. She never realized that being nice to someone like that made her want Shane even more, since he was so kind to her.
