Snipits and Tidbits no 3
Artemis pulled up at the Smallville Elementary School and adjusted the mirror to see a nervous little red haired girl. "Ready for your first day of kindergarten, Adrienne?" "Actually, Mommy," Adrienne said, "I think I may have been contaminated with one of the deadly diseases Daddy's always talking about. You better take me to the hospital right away!" "Really?" Artemis reached her hand back and felt her head. "Oh my," she said, "I think you may have the First-Day-Jitters. The only cure is to go to your class!" "Mommy," Adrienne said giggling. "Listen, Audrey, I know it feels scary. But the best thing you can do is walk in there and show them you're a brave, beautiful girl." "Can I show how fast I am?" Artemis smiled, "Maybe not just yet, ok?" "Ok," Adrienne said, stepping out of the car. "Bye, Mommy." "Bye, Audrey. I love you." "I love you, too, Mommy." Adrienne walked up to the doors. She took one last look at her mom in the car, and walked through the doors.
Adrienne walked into the classroom. Everyone was running around screaming and laughing. She stood at the door watching. She didn't notice the ball till it hit the side of her head. "Ouch," she said. She picked up the ball and looked around. A girl with short black hair ran over to her and said, "You found my ball! Can I have it back, please?" Adrienne held out the ball when a little boy ran by and snatched it out of her hand. "Hey!" She and the other girl yelled at the same time. "Haha, can't catch me, Chrystal!" "Jacob, you give me my ball right now or I'll-" "You'll what?" "I'll catch you," Adrienne said softly. "Oh, will you?" Jacob asked, "I'd like to see you try!" He started to run and ran right into Adrienne. "What? Oh!" he said, "You're Adrienne West, aren't you?" "How do you know my name?" Adrienne said, shocked. "Oh, Jacob knows everything," Crystal said. "Here's your ball back, Cryssie." "Don't call me Cryssie!" Jacob took Adrienne's hand and shook it, "Nice to finally meet you, Audrey," then he ran off. "He's weird," Adrienne said. "Yea," Crystal said, "Thanks for getting my ball back." "You're Welcome." "You wanna play with me, Adrienne?" She smiled. "Sure. And Crystal?" "Yeah?" "Thanks. You just cured me of a deadly disease." "What?" Adrienne laughed, "Nothing." Crystal shrugged and then grabbed her new best friend's hand and ran out to the playground.
