Chapter 4- Kimberly

Kimberly was searching frantically in her backpack, around her house, and at school. She couldn't find her special notebook anywhere! She hoped that a janitor picked it up, and just threw it away. Her worse fears lied inside. That Zero did find the notebook, or someone did and now he knows all about it. Then she had a thought that she couldn't help but smile at.



"What if Zero did find out about the notebook, and actually likes her, then at school he would run up to her and then tell her..."

"OK, calm down." Kimberly thought to herself.

She didn't want to get her hopes up, but she was still smiling. Then she dropped down on her bed, and suddenly, through all of her excitement she drifted off to sleep with the wonderful thought.

Kimberly awoke the next morning. She dressed herself in the most perfect outfit, styled her hair in the best hairstyle, basically the perfect everything. Her mind was on Zero. She couldn't wait to see how school would turn out.

As she walked into the kitchen, her mothered awed, " Wow, you certainly look nice what the occasion, is it picture day already?"

"Um, yes mom." Kimberly said as she hid her shyness.

"OK dear, good luck for your pictures, and be sure to show me them when they turn out!" Her mother said happily.

"OK mom, see you when I get home" Kimberly said as she walked out the door, to her bus stop.

As she stepped on the bus she heard a big commotion.

She thought, " oh, it's probably someone got the new what-cha-ma-call-it."

Then a horrible thought struck her. " What if someone found the notebook?!!"

She quickly sat by her friend Rachel, and asked her to tell her what the big commotion is about.

"Don't you know?!" she said, " Zero Zeroni got pulled over by the cops!"

Kimberly turned pale as she managed to say "Why?!"

"Apparently," Rachel continued on "He stole apair of shoes, but not just any shoes Clyde Livinstons shoes!"

A million thoughts raced through Kimberly's mind, "What if he's guilty?" "What if he's innocent?" "What if, what if, what if!!"

Then she made up her mind, " This is not true, this is one of the big rumors spreading around, and even if it is true, he probably got released because he is innocent."

Then she heard Rachel's voice saying, " why are you so dressed up?"



Kimberly hesitated for a second then announced, "I have to go to my mom's big orientation for her work."

"oh." Rachel said unsatisfied. Then looked at her friend and said in a worried voice, "Why, are you so pale!!??"

" I-I, I don't fell very well, I think I'll go to the nurse."

"oh my gosh, do you want me to take you?" Rachel said as the bus came to a stop.

"um, no thanks I think I can manage" She said as she walked off, with all the worry in the world.
