Wanting a Friend
"Class we are starting the basketball unit this week." Said Coach Jones. "Chloe and Jack you're team captain."
"I chose Alvin." Chloe said.
"I want Eleanor." Jack said.
"Piper you're on my team."
"Lisa you're with me."
"Brittany get over here."
"Kevin."
"Mark."
"Ann."
"Devin."
"Kris."
"Theodore."
"James."
"Drake."
"All I don't want Simon on my team! He can't even throw a foot ball right!" Jack cried out."
"Jack that's not how we talk to our class mates. Apologies." Said Coach Jones.
"Fine. I sorry. Sorry you're a loser." Jack said to Simon.
"I'll be a bench warmer." Simon said feelings hurt a little.
"Okay play ball." Said the coach.
'Why did Jeanette have to get swine flu? I miss her already. Why do I have to get singled out? Just because I can't throw a foot ball. We're not even playing foot ball. We're play basket ball. I wish I had someone to hang out with.' Simon though.
"Class is over." Yelled Coach Jones.
When everyone got back to the class room they saw a new girl standing there.
"Class." Mrs. Smith said. "I'd like you to meet Emily. She transfused from Butler Elementry ."
Emily had shoulder length black hair. Sparkling brown eyes. She had a small figure. Everyone seamed to be staring at this new girl.
"Emily would you like to sit next to Simon?" asked Mrs. Smith
"Sure." She said.
"Well today class we are going to use a protractor. Does anyone know what that is?"
Two hands want up.
"Emily you're new so how about you tell us."
"A protractor is a math device that measures angels." She said.
"Very good."
"Now as I was saying we are…"
"Hay Emily." Simon said. "You're the first one to actually get a question right."
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"Well Jeanette and I are the smartest ones in the class so not many people answer the teacher except me and her." Simon explained.
"Oh. Well back at my school I was an A and B student."
"Well you're smarter than most everyone now."
"You're funny."
"Emily this is your first day so this is your warning to stop talking to Simon. And for you Mr. Seville you should know better but I'll let you of the hook only because you behave yourself."
"Yes Mrs. Smith. Sorry." They said at the same time.
"Any way partner up. You get to do the math pages with a friend because this class has been so good."
"Sweet." Alvin said.
"I want Simon to be my partner." Ann shouted.
"No I want Simon." Kevin shouted.
"Both of you are wrong." Said Chloe. "Simon is my partner."
"I didn't know you were this popular Simon." Emily said with a giggle.
"I'm not. Everyone just wants me because they think I'll do all the work."
"I'm sorry about that."
That's when Mrs. Smith stepped in.
"Hay why is everyone Calling Simon's name. I guess I'll pare you up myself. Emily and Simon you may be together because you seem to be getting along so well."
"Okay" They both said.
Okay that's the end of that chapter. I hoped you liked it. If you want to tell me something I can improve on do it. I like constructive criticism. It tells me I can improve on something. So don't be afraid to say so. Got ideas, tell me. I might need some. Oh the name Emily came from my best friend. Her name is Emily so yah, you get my point. Any way bye.
