Hey, guys! I caught a cold spreading through my school/town. I'm better now and I've caught up witgh the class. Now here is something involving my twelve favorite YouTubers. Yeah, two of them were on BB16, but they also have YouTube channels, so it goes along with the a whole web show thing. I really need to put as much energy as I put into writing fanfictions and watching videos as I put into writing composition and solving math equations. Ha! I'm too much of a procrastinator for that. Well, I don't own any of these lovely people, kid form or not. Please read an review. Love you!

Day care. Day care is where he met the taller boy with the dark brown hair and green eyes. They talked about their pets and the boy was by himself because the other kids didn't like mice. PJ likes mice. He thinks they're soft and furry. Like the boy's hair, he'd said. Plus they both love pizza. And PJ had pointed out the boy's wristbands. He likes them. That is when he had finally looked up with a smile and said his name. Chris.

PJ is going into kindergarten with one friend in mind: Chris. Basic School is very small, because they live in such a small community. His mom has told him there are only twelve kids in his class. He knows Chris is his age, so he's got to be in his class. The question is, who else? PJ steps into the building and is instantly greeted by a young woman. She takes his hand and leads him to assembly.

There aren't many people around yet, but he wanders around the small room anyway. There are two boys running around making animal noises, but PJ doesn't recognize them. Then, he notices a boy sitting in the corner. He has sorta black hair, but also sorta orange-
red hair. It looks chalky, PJ decides as he walks over to talk with him.

"Why you sitting all by yourself?"

"They don't like me." He answers without looking up.

"How come?"

"They think I got cooties in my hair."

"What is in your hair?"

"Chalk." He pouts. "Martyn tried to make it look cool, but now it just looks bad."

"Who's Martyn?"

"My brother."

"Oh." PJ nods. "It don't look bad."

"It don't?" The boy looks up to meet PJ's eyes. "For real?"

"For real."

A toothy grin comes over the boy's face. He stands up to face his new friend. "I'm Phil."

"I'm PJ."

"Alright, kids. Come gather around for assembly." The woman from before calls out.

The rest of the kids have come in. The ones who were acting like animals are sitting near the front. The others seem lost and cautious. They haven't been talking to anybody. Phil and PJ join them and listen to the woman. Her name is Miss Emily and she works with kindergarteners through third graders. She informs the class about school rules and introduces them to key people. They meet Miss Rice: the school nurse, Ms. Zimmer: the school librarian, Miss Rainbow: the K-3 counselor, Mr. Horn: the principal, and Miss Sway: their new teacher.

After assembly, Miss Sway leads her new class to their new classroom. It is very eye-
catching and the kids are in awe. She lets them wander around the classroom for about thirty minutes before they leave for the cafeteria. Phil and PJ sit at a table to play a game of Favorites. The jumpy boys from before continue their game. A blonde girl wanders over to the small kitchenette, located next to the dress-up area. A shy boy tries on different hats. At the fireman hat, the girl points at it.

"I like that one."

"Fireman?"

"Yeah-huh. Uncle Jack is a fireman."

"I gotta uncle fireman too!"

She giggles. "I'm Marzia."

He smiles shyly. "I'm Shane."

Over by the picture and storybooks, there is a little boy with spiky blonde hair. He is wearing a baby pink T-shirt and is trying to read 'Goodnight, Moon'. It isn't long before Miss Sway announces it is lunch time, and the kids clamber for the door. The boy with the book goes to put it back on the shelf, but it slips out the other side. Marzia picks it up with a smile.

"Good. Night. Moon."

"I like that book."

"Me too. I'm Marzia."

The boy smiles. "I'm Frankie."

Miss Sway leads the kindergarteners into the kiddie cafeteria. This is the smaller cafeteria for strictly kindergarteners through third graders. There is a larger cafeteria past the atrium for the older kids. This small cafeteria has two lunch lines and the kids split down the middle. They grab their choice of milk or juice, a sandwich, a fruit and a cookie. Miss Sway and the cafeteria monitor lead the kids to the two tables available for the kindergarten class. There are six chairs at each table.

Being head of the line, the galloping boys take a seat at the same table. Marzia and Shane also sit at this table. Phil and PJ opt for the other table. A dishwater-haired boy with glasses slides in across from PJ, while his friend from day care Chris hops over next to him. PJ, being a friendly type, immediately discovers the dishwater boy's name is Felix. Frankie walks over then, taking a seat by Shane. A blonde boy with similar hair to Frankie slides in at the opposite table. Finally, the last two boys arrive with their trays. One has dark brunette hair and a pink baseball cap. The other has lighter brown hair and looks a bit squirmy. The one in the ball cap hops down between Frankie and one of the restless boys. The other timidly walks over to the remaining spot between similar-hair-
boy and Phil.

"Can, can I sit here?"

"Course you can?" Phil replies immediately, flashing the boy a bright smile.

He smiles gingerly. "Thanks."

"I'm Phil." He points around the table. "And this is PJ and Chris and Felix and Jamie."

"I'm Dan."

"Cool. I like that name."

At the other table, the boy in the ball cap shoves the rowdy boy at his side. "What's your name?" He asks with a mouthful of ham sandwich.

"Lucas. And this here's Joey."

After a week of school, this becomes their normal seating arrangements. Lucas and Joey have apparently known each other a long time and they are neighbors. Marzia and Shane; Phil and PJ are instant friends, while the others just sort of fall in line. Miss Sway is halfway through the lesson on the letter of the week: R, when she notices one of her students staring out the window rather than participating.

"Joey, is there something on your mind?"

"Miss, how does the squirrels stick themselves to the trees? I can't do that?"

So, the letter of the week is put on hold so Miss Sway can teach her class about squirrels, and how they can climb better than humans. Two months later, Miss Sway has to step outside for the first time not during a rotation. She randomly leaves Felix in charge. Only seven minutes after she's gone, Chris is bullying the others for their packed lunches. Zack is wrestling him, breaking the crayons. Jamie is trying to tape the crayons, but when they get broke again, he joins in on the fight. Lucas is carelessly scribbling on the walls and Dan is on top of one of the tables, spinning around to draw attention from Chris.

When Miss Sway returns, she is dismayed. She finds Felix hiding in the closet with band-
aids all over him. Dan has to visit Miss Rice after falling. Chris, Jamie and Zack get their recess priveledges revoked two weeks for fighting; Lucas has one week for scribbling. When they receive their recess, they maintain it two days. Then it is winter holiday. Lucas and Joey, PJ and Phil, and Marzia and Shane manage to spend some time together during the holidays.

The kids return to school in the middle of January. For a solid week, all Frankie does is complain. About anything and everything. The last week of January is a special Reading Week. Marzia finishes her book early and walks around to correct the mispronunciations of her classmates. On Valentine's Day, Phil only receives valentines from three people: Miss Sway, PJ and Dan. This makes him moody and he develops an attitude. In March, he wants to go outside to play when it is raining. Of course, the teacher says no, so he unleashes the bouncy yard balls, demanding they play kickball now. No luck.

In early April, the kids are excited about graduation. PJ constantly gets into trouble for trying to instigate conversations during nap time to talk about the event. The week before the end of school, the kids and their teacher go on a road trip (meaning a field trip that takes half the day to get there) and they visit the circus. The teacher brings along a Funny Fill-Ins game and some sing-along CDs.

Jamie is sitting near the front of the small bus with Joey. Jamie has fun doing the Fill-Ins with Miss Sway, but Joey is instead taking pictures out the window with one of the many disposable cameras he's brought along. Behind them sit Chris and Marzia. Marzia has brought along several picture and storybooks, and Chris is reading what he can as well. Acros from them, and behind the teacher, are Shane and Zack. They are loudly singing along to the CDs.

Behind them are Lucas and PJ. Lucas has a backpack full of snacks, but PJ doesn't notice since he is too busy singing along. In the back, behind them, are Dan and Felix. Dan reads out the words on certain signs that he knows until he falls asleep, but Felix simply remains sulking. Lastly, there are Frankie and Phil. Frankie is singing loud and proud. Phil mostly sings under his breath, getting most of the lyrics wrong, and falls asleep.

The circus is a lot of fun. The kids get their faces painted like animals. Dan, Marzia and Joey get their faces painted like tigers. PJ, Lucas, Shane and Zack look like elephants. Chris and Phil look like lions. Frankie gets a ringmaster's hat. Felix and Jamie pout throughout the trip, but ever so often a smile is on their lips. It was a fun outing and they are all asleep on the way back.

The following week is kindergarten graduation. They are all wearing paper crowns they decorated themselves. They are also wearing oversized longsleeved shirts that appear as gowns. When their names are called, they climb on top of the main picnic table. They point out who in their family is here and they recite a rhyme or poem.

"Bisognin, Marzia."

"Hi, Daddy." She smiles and then goes on to recite her poem. "A tisket, a tasket, a green and yellow basket. I wrote a letter to my friend and on the way I lost it."

Everyone claps and Miss Sway hands her a framed diploma.

"Crew, Jamie"

He points to the various people of his family. "Daddy, Uncle Dillan, my brudda Clinton an' my brudda Timmy." He clears his throat. "Baa, baa, black sheep. Has you got some wool? Yessir, yessir, three bags full."

After handing the diploma, Miss Sway continues. "Cruikshank, Lucas."

"My fam'ly's over there." He points out vaguely into the crowd. "There was a farmer had a dog an' Bingo was his name-o. B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-G-O, B-I-N-J-O and Bingo was his name-o."

"Dawson, Shane." He carefully sings the Days of the Week song.

"Graceffa, Joey." He happily recites "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" complete with actions.

"Grande, Frankie." Hey, Diddle, Diddle.

"Howell, Dan." He is shy reciting his quick poem. "Hot cross buns, hot cross buns. One penny, two penny. Hot cross buns. Some like em, um,"

"Hot." Phil sorta-whispers to him.

"Like 'em hot. Some, um,"

"Cold." He does it again.

"Some like 'em cold. One penny, two penny. Hot cross buns."

Everyone claps. "Kendall, Chris." Humpty Dumpty.

"Kjellberg, Felix." Itsy Bitsy Spider.

"Lester, Phil." He waves to his parents and older brother Martyn. "Mary had a little lamb. Fleece white as snow. Everywhere Mary went, then the lamb would go." As he steps down, he add-libs. "But I'd rather have a lion!"

Everyone laughs. "Liguori, PJ."

"One, two, buckle my shoe. Three, four, shut the door. Five, six, pick up sticks. Nine ten, big fat hen."

No one corrects him. "Rance, Zack."

"One potato, two potato, three potato eyes. Four potato, five potato, six French fries."

Everyone laughs at his version of the rhyme. He leaps off the table/stage with a grin. All the kindergarteners then line up and throw their crowns in the air. They have graduated.
