Arthur and Buster Christian school week
At ECJCS, Francine is washing dishes for the last time during her stay. Lunch wasn't even messy on Wednesdays- regular or veggie hamburgers, plus french fries, vegetables and pink lemonade. So her job was pretty easy, and if she finished early, she could go out to recess. She scrubbed the dishes with the sponge wand.
"Ahh!" she yelped. After two days and five minutes of washing dishes, some of the hot water had splashed onto her arm and slightly burned her, and accident everybody made. They used very hot water to wash the dishes that all the bacteria. That's most the reason why wore rubber gloves- to protect her hands from hot water.
"Francine, you okay?" one of the lunch ladies asked.
"Oh yeah, I'm fine," she said as she continued scrubbing the dishes. There was somebody else helping her out too, so it would go faster.
As much Francine didn't want to admit it, helping wash the dishes in time for the middle schoolers' lunch was not bad. The lunch ladies played music while they worked, and sometimes they sang along. Plus, the chef would occasionally let Francine taste what she was working on. And the youngest girl, Kylie, had dropped out of high school and got a job cleaning at ECJCS, and she would always tell Francine stories about the things she did before she got expelled.
Francine finished five minutes later. She still had fifteen minutes to play outside! She'd heard stories of the legendary soccer matches they had with the fifth and sixth graders sometimes, and wanted badly to take part in one.
"Oh, look at the rain," Kylie said. "It hasn't rained in two weeks, now look at it pouring down like that!"
"Seriously?" Francine shouted. She found it extremely unfair. "I was about to go play!"
"Don't worry." she smiled. "The sixth graders only play soccer against the younger grades on Thursday, so your good."
"Oh, okay!"
During inside recess at CGCS, Arthur and Buster were playing hide and seek with some other students. They were hiding behind a chair in the library and were whispering about Francine.
"I heard that Francine's going to sue ECJCS for making her ash dishes," Buster whispered.
"That's just a rumor," Arthur responded. "I heard the same thing, and I,m pretty sure it's not true."
"Even if it's a lie," he began, "it could still be true."
"Then I hope Francine and her family when that case," Arthur remarked.
"Me too," he told him. "It must be a bad school."
"Is she's really going to sue," said Arthur, "then it would be. But we should ask her just in case. You should never believe everything you here, you know."
