The very next morning, Drowsy, who was a love frog, was standing in front of the kitchen stove at breakfast.
"Morning, Drowsy," she said and yawned.
It was early – barely light outside.
"Good morning, Bea. How was your night?"
"It was all right," she answered as she got into the kitchen and poured herself a cup of coffee.
Their kitchen was styled from the fifties. Beatrice had always liked that decade for some reason.
When she moved to Kinzville, Beatrice stopped at the Kinz Store, where they picked up what they were in need of. It is mostly Bea who visits there.
"You look like you have something on your mind."
"You bet I do, Drowsy. I did what I had to do yesterday."
"What did you do, my friend?" Drowsy asked.
"I talked with Ms. Cowoline yesterday morning. I had to see her about something."
"You don't sound very happy."
"I don't. I saw her because I had something to tell her."
"What did you tell her?"
The two looked in the direction that they had left the cereal boxes the other day.
"Remember that math test we had the other day?"
She nodded when they saw a couple of their other friends walked in. Barry, Christmas, Candace, Seth, and Forrest Gump joined them.
"Good morning, everyone," Barry, a polar bear greeted his family.
"Morning, Barry. How did your night go?" Beatrice asked.
"Good, thank you for asking."
He grabbed out a glass from the cupboard and poured himself a cup of coffee as well.
Pancho finally walked in, but he was yawning.
"Hello, Pancho. Glad to see you had a good night's rest," Seth told him.
Seth moved into Kinzville shortly after she did. Seth loves his family like everyone else in this household does.
"Pancho, may I say something?" Beatrice asked.
"What's that?"
"I saw Ms. Cowoline yesterday morning. She wants to talk with you today."
"About what?"
"The math test we had not too long ago."
"I know what you're talking about. Of course I remember it," he said.
He told himself that she told on him because of cheating on that certain test. Yes, he likes math, but she scores higher than he does.
"That's why I went in. I saw you cheat on that test."
None of the other Kinzville members seemed to pay that much attention, but when they did, they showed faces of shock.
"You shouldn't be cheating, Pancho," Cheetio said.
Cheetio happens to be a cheetah. He is also another good friend.
Then everyone else showed up. They all said good – morning and talked about other things. Then it was time to head over to the Academy for them.
A clock in the house told them they had about another fifteen minutes or so to get ready for school.
"Don't be disappointed, Bea. You did the right thing by telling her the truth," Drowsy told her as they hugged.
"Thanks, but it still doesn't feel right to tell on others like that."
"Just put this behind you, Bea. It's over with."
"I hope you're right, Drowsy."
