Part 5 of my New Story: Band Class!
My third period was, as you know, band. I walk through the door, and what do you know, of course that guy from science is here. The band directors introduce themselves, and then we go introduce ourselves to our fellow band members. I found Daisy in the alto saxophone bunch. “Hey, Daisy!” I said. “Remember…

Part 4 of my New Story: Environmental Science
Next period was environmental science. This teacher welcomed me better. As I walked through the doorway, a young, energetic-looking teacher said, “Welcome! You look a little young, but then again, so do I! What’s your name?” He looked like he had a bit too much coffee and a bit too many donuts this morning. “My…

Part 3 of my New Story! (I really should come up with a better name)
My first class was algebra 2. When I walked through the door, the first thing my teacher said was, “Are you lost? Looking for algebra 1? It’s right down the hall, honey. First classroom on the left.” My face must have betrayed my emotions, because the next thing my teacher said was, “I’m sorry. I…

Chapter 9: How I found a pot of Gold
“Oh puh-leeeze don’t do another history lessonnnnnnnn!” I groaned. “But I have a new book on it, and it has even more amazing facts!!!” Gale complained hilariously. I didn’t want a history lesson, but I also didn’t want to hurt Gale’s feelings. I weighed my two options, and then I realized that Gale was going…

Chapter 8: Naming the cubs!!!!!
The mother lion did want me to name her and her cubs! First, I got to know each one, to find out what name would suit them. The shy one who had stayed in the cave for a while, the really beautiful one, I thought the name Taylor would suit her best. Once Taylor came…

Chapter 7: The Feastings and Festivities begin!
I offered to cook the fish and catch more. The lions accepted the offer gratefully. Me and Gale collected some firewood for the fire. Since Gale didn’t know how to start a fire, I had to start it with a rock and a stick. Turns out not only my legs are fast and strong, because…
