Chapter 5:

Friends to the End!

Me and Matt had to stay in time-out until good-bye time.

"Good-Bye time" is when you put away all of your things, and then sing the Good-Bye Song

It went like this:

The Goodbye Song

Goodbye, Goodbye!

I'll see you again!

Goodbye, Goodbye,

I'll miss you until then!

Sayonara, Sayonara,

We'll always be friends!

Sayonara, Sayonara!

I'll be there for you 'til the end!

Goodbye, Goodbye!

I'll see you again!

Goodbye, Goodbye,

I'll miss you until then!

Sayonara, Sayonara,

We'll always be friends!

Sayonara, Sayonara!

I'll be there for you 'til the end!

Goodbye, Sayonara,

Goodbye, Sayonara,

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye!

I didn't like that song very much.

Just then, I remembered something my Daddy once said when he heard a song he didn't like. He said, "You could stand to hire a new writer."

So I said, "You could stand to hire a new writer."

And guess what? Everyone in the class thought that was so funny! They laughed really hard!

Only the teacher didn't find it amusing. "Didn't find it amusing" is the grown-up word for, "didn't laugh and made a mean, squinty face".

I sat down and put my hands in my lap. "Yea, only I'm just saying what my Daddy said."

Lucky for me, it was time to go home, so we all just went outside and played on the playground until our Mommy or Daddy came to pick us up.

Sora and I played together on the jungle gym. She can do a flip on the bar! And then we saw Matt was all alone.

"Sora?" I said.

"Yea?" She said.

"Let's go play over there!" I said. And guess what, real sneaky, I pointed to where Matt was playing!

Only too bad for me, 'cause Sora knew where I was pointing. "With Matt?"

I nodded my head. "Yea! 'Cause he looks real lonely!"

Sora made a pouty face. "But he's real mean!"

I nodded my head again. "Yea, but he's real mean because his parents are mean to each other!"

Sora thoughted for a minute. Then, said, "Okay!"

We walked over to Matt. And he said, "What do you guys want?"

And I said, "Do you want to play with us?"

And he blinked his eyes. And he said, "Can I?"

And Sora said, "Yes!"

And Matt smiled and said, "Okay!"

So we got a ball and started playing together. It was fun!

Then, a pretty woman with brown hair walked up. "Matt? It's time to go home."

Matt smiled. "Okay, Mommy!" Then, he ran up and grabbed her hand. And they walked off together.

Sora smiled. "I guess Matt is pretty nice!"

And I said, "Yea, he is!"

Me and Sora played together for a little bit longer. And then, guess what? My Mommy came to pick me up!

So I said, "Good-bye!" To Sora.

And she said, "Good-bye!"

So Mommy grabbed my hand and we got into the car.

"Hi, Kari!" I said to when I sat down. 'Cause she was sitting in the car, too!

Mommy started driving, and then she said, "So, how was your first day of school?"

I smiled real big. "It was fun! First, we learned everyone's name, and then we heard a story, then we had a snack fight, and then we got a lechture, and I got a time-out, and then we sang the good-bye song, and then we played on the playground, and then you came to pick me up!"

Mommy blinked her eyes. "Um…good…So, did you make any friends?"

I nodded my head. "Yea, two! One's a real pretty girl named Sora, and the other one's named Matt! He was a real meany, but now we're friends!"

Mommy smiled. "That's great."

Kari looked at me. "So-wah? An' Natt?"

I patted her on the head. "Yup!"

Kari grinned. "Lovey-Dovey!"

I blushied a little bit. 'Cause maybe, just maybe, I'm gonna ask Sora to be girlfriend one day!

And you know what? School is really fun!

The End!
