Chapter 2

Phil was already down to the nurse by the time Lil got down there.

"Hey Lil" he said, he had changed into a pair of jeans and a gray shirt. "Hope you feel better" he said

"Thanks" Lil said with a little smile.

A teacher walked Phil back to his class while Lil stayed in the nurses offfice.

The nurse's office was white and it had a rainbow going across one of the walls. There was a few chairs and a few cots. The nurse took out a thermometer out of her desk drawer and came over and sat next to Lil.

"I am going to put this into your ear" said the nurse, letting Lil feel it.

"It will tell me if you have a temperature" said the nurse.

The nurse put the ear thermometer into Lil's right ear and waited until it beeped before taking it out.

"Do you want to lay down" said the nurse, pointing to one of the cots in the room. "I will call your mom or dad to come and get you" she said.

Lil noded her head and went to lay down on the cot.

Back at the nurses desk, the nurse picked up the phone and dialed Lil's mom and dad's number.

"Mrs. Deville" said the nurse. "your daughter threw up on the bus on the way to school today and we need for you to come and pick her up. She is running a bit of a fever but other than that she seems to be doing okay" said the nurse.

Once off the phone the nurse went over to Lil who was asleep on the cot. The nurse covered her up with a blanket and said

"what a way to spend your first day of preschool" said the nurse

Soon, Betty arrived to take Lil home.

"My poor baby"she said picking Lil up and carrying her out of the school.

Back in the classroom, the kids were getting to know each other while they sat around the circle. Kimi sat next to Phil and then Tommy and Chuckie sat across from them. After they got to know each other that is when the trouble started. There were different stations set up in the classroom and there were 11 kids in the classroom, 12 counting Lil but she went home sick.

Kimi and a girl named Brittany were at the number station, learning about numbers when over at the painting station Phil and Chuckie were fighting.

"You are a scaredy-cat" said Phil said to Chuckie

"No, I'm not" Chuckie said "You are" he said

"No, I'm not" Phil said back

Chuckie and Phil argued until one of them got paint on them which is when the teacher noticed.

"Phil, you set over there and Chuckie, let's get you cleaned up"she said

"But, I didn't do anything"said Phil

After the teacher got Chuckie cleaned up and they came back to the room, She said "Chuckie, I want you to go sit in that corner"

"But" Chuckie said "Phil was the one that started it,

'No, I didn't"said Phil

"Yes, you did Phil. I saw it" said Tommy

The babies are not babies anymore and ever since they had turned 4 and 5 years old they have came more mouthy.

"Can we all just be friends"a boy named Charlie who was with Tommy at the water table

"Be quiet, Charlie" said Tommy splashing water on him.

"No"said Charlie and splashing water on Tommy

Soon, both of the boys were soak and wet,

After Charlie and Tommy got cleaned up, they were put into time out as well.

"This preschool stuff is not what I thought it was going to be" said Tommy

"It will get worse" said Charlie "Just wait and see" he said

When the babies were having their snacks. Phil sat next to Charlie as well as a girl name Victoria. And Tommy, Chuckie and Kimi sat by theirselves.

"What has gotten into Phil today" said Tommy drinking his apple juice and graham crackers.

"Don't know"said Chuckie who was eating the same

"He has gotten worse since Lil went home earlier today"said Kimi

That is when Phil walked over and hit both Chuckie and Tommy and made them cry.

"I can't hit a girl"said Phil "But, I can push one" he said

"You are mean, Phil"said Tommy getting off the floor

"Yeah" said Chuckie

"Who are you to tell me" said Phil

"I am" said Mrs Mrs. Applebee, who was standing right behind him,"I think it is time to call your mother" she said

Back at home Lil was laying on the couch watching

Reptar when the phone rang

"Oh, I see" said her mother "he did what" she said and then she hung up the phone

Betty had a hard time raising Phil since his dad passed and it has gotten worse since Phil turned 4 a few months ago and it isn't getting any better.
