Across the Ages

6-years-old: Nicknames

Six-year-old Ned entered the school building. It was the first day of school and he was entering the first grade. He didn't know many people because not that long ago he just moved in. His Mom drove him in today instead of taking the bus.

"Now Ned, enjoy the first day of school!" Mrs. Bigby said.

"Okay Mom!" Ned said in an excited voice.

Ned walked down the hallway until he saw a sign that said "Mrs. Thornton". He entered in the classroom and saw different kids around his age; he didn't know any of them.

Ned looked around at the students playing with the toys and talking to the teacher. However, one girl he noticed looked familiar. Ned saw Jennifer, the girl he met at the park. He didn't know why but he was so happy.

Right where he was standing he called out, "Jennifer!" However, three people turned around; the girl at the park and two other girls.

Jennifer Mosely turned around and saw the boy she met at the park. She ran up to him and said, "Hi Ned!"

"Hi Jennifer! How come two other girls turned around over there?" Ned asked.

"Oh, that's because they are also named Jennifer. That's Jennifer Tu," Jennifer said, pointing to a Chinese girl by the window, talking to friends, "and that's Jennifer Brown." she said pointing to a girl with blonde hair.

"That's going to be weird having three girls named Jennifer in one class." Ned said.

There was a small silence until Jennifer spoke up, "Well, before you came in here Mrs. Thornton told us to pick a partner for some sort of game, so do you want to be my partner?"

"Sure, but what is the game?" Ned asked his new best friend.

"I'm not sure, but she wants us by the carpet once we find a partner, so come on!" Jennifer said taking his hand to where they will be sitting.

Mrs. Thornton came over and sat in her normal chair. "Now class, does everyone have a partner?"

"Yes!" The whole class replied

"Now I will go down the list of names and I will ask each one of you who your partner is going to be." Mrs. Thornton said. "Ned Bigby!"

"Jennifer." Ned replied.

"Which one?" Mrs. Thornton asked the new kid.

"Jennifer Mosely." Ned said, saying Jennifer's full name.

Mrs. Thornton continued down the list until everyone had a partner. However Jennifer noticed something; her and Ned were the only boy/girl partners. She whispered to Ned, "We are the only boy/girl partners in the class."

Ned realized that to it was either both boys or both girls, but him and Jennifer were the only ones that were a boy/girl pair.

Mrs. Thornton didn't realize that they had to go to their special, Art. "Everyone get into a single file line, we are going to art class." She said to her class.

Once they got in a line she ushered them to the art room on the second floor. Once they got there, the art teacher greeted them. Everyone got into a seat ready for class.

"Hello everyone, I am Mrs. Lee, and I am your art teacher." Mrs. Lee announced.

"Hello Mrs. Lee!" The class yelled in unison.

"Today you will draw something of summer or the first day of school. Let me first do attendance, and then you can start drawing." Mrs. Lee said.

Once she finished the attendance, she got out paper and crayons for the kids. They all ran up to get the best paper and crayons. Ned and Jennifer were one of the last ones there so there were paper and one box of crayons left.

"Do you want to share?" Ned asked Jen.

"Sure, I guess so." Jennifer replied.

Jennifer and Ned went back to their seats and started drawing. Jennifer drew a picture of a pool and Ned started drawing a park scene.

Jennifer looked over his shoulder to see what he was drawing. "How come you are drawing a park?"

"Because I met you at the park early in the summer." Ned replied.

"Oh yeah, sorry." Jennifer apologized.

Ned was concentrated on his work, but he was also thinking about Jennifer Mosely. He wanted to give her a nickname, but he didn't know what a good one would be. He didn't want to give a nickname like Jen or Jenny; he wanted her to have a cool nickname that stands out. Then a light bulb went on in his head.

"Jennifer do you want a nickname?" Ned asked the girl sitting next to him.

"Um…I'm not sure. What's a good nickname?" Jennifer asked.

"How about Moze?" Ned said.

"Moze?" Jennifer said questioningly.

"Yeah, Moze as in short for Mosely." Ned explained.

"I guess I can give that name a shot." Jennifer said.

"Hello Moze!" Ned said trying to see how the name would sound like in a greeting.

"Your right that is a cool nickname!" Moze said.

They continued to draw and talk for a couple of minutes until a boy came over. He was pretty big for a first grader; he had spiky blonde hair and a black sweatshirt.

"Hey Jennifer!" the boy said in a dreamy tone, "who is this loser?" he then continued in a mean voice, while pointing to Ned.

"Stop it Billy Loomer! That's my friend Ned!" Moze said standing up for her friend.

Soon after Billy's friends came up and said, "Oh, Jennifer and Bigby love each other!"

"We don't love each other, we are best friends! She has a nickname now, it's Moze!" Ned said.

"Aw, they already have nicknames for each other!" the boys made fun of them again.

Then Mrs. Lee announced in the middle of the argument, "Okay class, art is almost over please give me your drawings, and return the crayons!" All of the kids followed the teacher's orders, and soon made a line by the door, waiting for Mrs. Thornton.


Once the class got back to the room, everyone sat at their tables, ready for the teacher's activity.

"Okay class, we are going to do a nice activity with your partner. You are going to say three nice things about your partner it could be on the inside or the outside." Mrs Thornton said.

"So we can say your liver is cool?" Billy said raising his hand.

"That's not what I meant Billy." Mrs. Thornton explained, "Ned Bigby, you are first and your partner is Jennifer Mosely."

Ned and Moze went in front of the class and pointed out, "Actually her name is Moze, it's her nickname."

"Moze, okay I will remember that!" The teacher said.

Ned didn't really know what to say without embarrassing himself. So he thought of the bee at the park. "Moze is really brave," Ned started his list. Then he thought of when she let him play with her, "she is really nice," Then Ned ran out of things to say, but then he remembered one thing about her, even though it might be embarrassing to say, "she is also very pretty." Once he finished saying that both Ned and Moze blushed.

Then they heard random whispers of,

"He likes Jennifer?"

"Oh, they're in love!"

"Does Jennifer love him?"

Then Mrs. Thornton was surprised to hear him say that, considering most first grade boys don't say that a girl is pretty. "Thank you Ned! Now Jennifer, oh, sorry I mean Moze."

"Well, Ned is funny," Moze started, "sweet," then Moze went for the embarrassing part too, "and handsome." Just like before Ned and Moze blushed a crimson shade.

Similar whispers were happening between the other first graders as the ones before.

"Thank you Ned and Moze." The teacher said speechless. The other classmates knew that by middle school there would be love blossoming between the two kids.
