The New Kid
When I went into class this morning, there was a new kid sitting in my chair. He was reading a comic book.
I almost flew into a rage. But I knew I should try to be nice.
So instead, I said, “Hi. My name is Aimee. You must be new here.”
“Hi Aimee, I am Jonathan. Sorry, am I in your seat?
“Yes, but that's okay. What are you reading?” I said.
“It is the newest book about the turtle crew. Would you like to read it after me?”
Oh yes I would! It turns out this new kid is pretty cool.
